Leave your thoughts about Epic.
| The PlaylistMark Zhuravsky...despite several moments of thoughtful, quiet near-bliss and well-crafted action beats, the overall product is underwhelming. Visuals aside, the film's title belies a story that's anything but. |
| PatheosRebecca CuseyGood despite the poster-blurb title. I hear the sequels are "Best Family Movie Yet" and "Amazing Thrill Ride!" |
| Mania.comRob VauxIt doesn't do anything groundbreaking, but its attention to detail produces a reliably entertaining family adventure. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchBasically, it's a passable combination of Bambi, The Borrowers and Avatar (which plays in my memory as an animated picture). |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsA fantasy forest is a fabulous setting for animation; it is filled with all shapes and sizes and colours of flowers and animals ... Sweet and funny and sometimes exciting, Epic is a cleverly made visual delight, certain to keep younger kids entertained |
| Spectrum (St. George, Utah)Bruce BennettBeautifully animated forest fantasy for undemanding families. |
| Kansas City StarJon NiccumThe action sequences are frequent and exceptional, from zooming aerial battles to comedic chases involving Bomba's three-legged pet pug. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin Covert"Epic" may be the thinking family's best Saturday matinee of the summer. And the date movie of the season. |
| Entertainment WeeklyStephan LeeEpic isn't quite destined for the “Again, again!” re-watchability of some of the Pixar classics, but for a satisfying explosion of color on a lazy summer day, it does the trick. |
| Boston HeraldStephen SchaeferThe 3-D digitally animated Epic is bursting at the seams, much like the lush forest where it's set. |
