When young Soren is abducted by a cult of owls (the "Pure Ones") intent on taking control of the owl kingdom, he and his newfound friends must escape to the island of Ga'Hoole to seek help from the legendary Guardians. LOTG has a lot going for it - a great cast of chartacters, an epic-style plot with a dark tone, and some amazing animation that would make even Pixar a bit jealous. There is only one thing that kept this movie from receiving four stars... it feels a bit rushed. The film is based on the first three books in Kathryn Laskys' Guardians of Ga'Hoole series, and at barely 90 minutes, a lot of plot is packed into a short amount of time. I'm sure this will leave fans of the books a bit disappointed and newcomers to the series (such as myself) feeling like they aren't getting the whole story.
