'Epic' Visually Entertaining, But Story Line Skimpy
Overall, 'Epic' is still worthy of a family trip to the theaters, according to one movie critic.
The premise, courtesy of the film's official website: "Epic" is a 3D CG adventure comedy that reveals a fantastical world unlike any other. From the creators of "Ice Age" and "Rio," "Epic" tells the story of an ongoing battle between the forces of good, who keep the natural world alive, and the forces of evil, who wish to destroy it.
