The problem with most Tarzan movies is the lack of dinosaurs, asteroids, exploding helicopters and glowing magic rocks, right? Well, fear not, because the creators of Animals United are here to right that wrong, embracing "the spirit of Edgar Rice Burroughs without becoming a slave to the text". So we open in space, crash-land on Earth (wiping out giant reptiles) and then fast-forward to the present, where the search for extraterrestrial superpowers leaves a young boy to be raised by apes after his parents die in an air crash, Now he must defend his planet – sorry, "the jungle" – from evil corporate invaders in search of Unobtanium. Or something. Really. While the motion-captured 3D CG has an uncanny photorealist quality, the wisdom of attempting to turn Tarzan into an Avatar-lite fantasy remains, at best, questionable.
