The first 2/3 of the movie could be award-winning status, but they basically fucked it all over with the climax and resolution. They had something truly unique going on, and it just turned into another Hollywood movie by the end. That's the only thing that sucked.

Well, that, and the graphics. Man what the fuck was that??? This is 2007. The CGI were down right TERRIBLE in some parts. I ask this: why didn't they just use real fucking people? What was the extreme need to use CG to create humanoids? I was used to the horrible graphics by the end, but using real people and real dogs would have vastly IMPROVED the movie - enough to where I think it would make up for the ending.

The ending wasn't terrible, but if you are going to go that route, you better do it right - and it's tough to do an ending like that without it feeling cheesy/hokey/etc.
