The Earth is destroyed and the moon is $^#*^& up and humanity becomes the trailer trash of the universe. There are a lot of chases and explosions as the main character is taken from his squalid home on an asteroid to discover the secret location of a ship that "has the power to reunite the human race." The main character wrestles with his own feelings about humanity's role as his friends turn on him. There is enough character development to make this movie an epic. If you think cartoons are all like Looney Tunes, go to a movie store now, and pick this one up.
--The Great Gelatinous Cube, Resident Scholar
