If you're expecting this movie to be action packed from start to finish, you'll be disappointed. There's actually a decent plot in this film and while there is enough action to keep a person occupied, it's not over the top.
The special effects are, as expected for a semi-SciFi movie, good. Not too over the top but not your ordinary gunfire and explosion stuff.
Performances are pretty standard for an animated to live action film. No one's going to win an Oscar for his or her performance, but no one was outright horrible. And, thankfully, no one was over the top cartoon-y villianous.
My only nitpick that I can state without spoiling the movie? I wish they had made Trevor Goodchild a blonde, like he is in the animated shorts. The blondness serves a purpose and is a foil for Aeon.
Overall, I'd say you'll want to see it on the big screen, but do it at matinee prices.
