“MusicFan” at the AN Forums points to a negative review of Kaena: The Prophecy at Ain’t It Cool News. “The characters are so dull and formulaic, and the lines they said were so cliche that it didn’t matter if my girlfriend slept through most of it; she knew exactly how the movie would play through. There was the stupid sidekick, the requisite love interest, the malevolent villain who manipulates things from his lair, the sage with the advanced knowledge, the loony, the minor villain who is being used by the greater villain… the list goes on. And technically speaking, it did not impress at all,” says Sephyr at the website. The official synopsis for Kaena: The Prophecy is, “Axis, the ‘tree world’s’ life is in danger. Its sap has almost all run out and its people’s efforts to implore the gods, are in vain. Kaena has strange visions and she is convinced that Axis is calling her for help. Kaena, a young girl with the heart of a rebel, will defy her tribe’s taboos and the Grand-priest’s supreme authority. And so begins her dangerous journey to Axis’s deepest roots. She is helped by a mysterious creature from another world. The frightening truth that Kaena will discover at the end of her quest will profoundly change her forever.” Kaena: The Prophecy will open in New York and Los Angeles on June 25th, 2004.
