I'm not a fan of its CGI. The figures are far inferior to Miyazaki's inventions, for instance. The story? Let's say childish and let it go at that.
More particularly about the "appearance:" some, quite obviously, saw the film and thought it was a perfectly realized parallel universe. I didn't, seeing the inferiority of the likenesses' computer workings.
As I said, Jar Jar Binks multiplied a hundred-fold.
Now, I don't find it amazing that such a film is so immensely popular. After all, Star Wars similarly is so, and LOTR.
It is the attempt to somehow present this as more than mindless entertainment that sits poorly with me, and many others.
