I found the movie really disturbing at times, but in some ways that just means they played out the premise very well.

The CGI was excellent, which is good, seeing as how it was prevalent throughout the film. Even though it was almost always obviously CGI, that doesn't mean it isn't good; it was in fact very high quality.
Hmm... I was actually not terribly impressed. Outside of the lab rats (I didn't know those were CG until you just mentioned it! ), I've definitely seen more visually convincing graphics. This is also not to say that I would have any idea how to do better, especially if their main constraint was budget. What they were trying to portray is in my impression very difficult to do, and Lord of the Rings might only have done better with Gollum due to bigger bidget.
But they definitely did portray them very effectively!

I actually wanted to cry for him several times throughout the film, and several people actually did cry each time I saw it.
Yeah, that was very effective as well. Brilliant. However, I was forced to disagree with the character emotionally. If the character was real, I definitely think it would have been a bad idea for him to look for emotional support where he did. He should have just spent time with God every day. God wouldn't get sick and force you to put Him down, like the dog did. (And I don't think I have to argue against the wax dummies.) I mean, look at the character Anna (even though she had her son)!
The movie's overall theme at the end seemed really really cool, too! That I did like, very much!

Nice review, Crazy J. Thanks.
