Synopsis: With its feature DELGO, Fathom Studios is looking to be the indie answer to Pixar. Blending a Tolkien-like mythos and an eastern philosophy with a heaping dose of wit, DELGO is a kid-friendly tale... [More]

Top CriticAlthough the film may be too violent for kids younger than 10 and too storybook for teens, it is a tale of mythic pretensions and can be quite stunning.
12/12/08
Top CriticThe story is tedious, noisy and banal. It is also rather dark and convoluted for children, though it does have the familiar bombast of a video game.
12/12/08
Top CriticThis flick is like a cheap thriller where the wisecracks always fall flat and the author couldn't be bothered to invent a new plot, so he just patches together some old ones.
12/12/08
Top CriticThere isn't enough action for older children, or silly humor for younger ones; even at an hour-and-a-half, the film feels padded, and it's going to feel even slower to audiences amped up on blood-red Icees and molar-cracking Nonpareils.
12/12/08
Top CriticA few magic rocks and tepid battle scenes do little to inspire interest in the goings-on as Malcolm McDowell and Eric Idle spout villainy and punch lines, respectively.
12/12/08
Top CriticDelgo demonstrates how hard it is to create a memorable, credible-looking piece of animated entertainment.
12/12/08
Top CriticThe look has impressive flair and attention to detail. Its biggest weakness is too many characters, too many plot diversions, and too much violence for very young children.
12/11/08
Top CriticThe story is a mishmash of adventure-fantasy tropes.
12/11/08
Top CriticCharacters are stiff; there is little variety in movement. It's a cheapo product ideally suited for a Saturday-morning pyjama vigil in front of a small screen.
12/11/08
Top CriticA boring, ungainly piece of animation.
12/11/08
Top CriticA high-tech animation adventure with a top-flight voice cast and a well-told if familiar fable about power, peace and people getting it together.
12/11/08
Top CriticThe animation is well done, but the story meanders between kid-pleasing slapstick and more serious good-vs.-evil fare.
12/11/08
Top CriticToo grim for kids and too dumb for grown-ups, this cut-rate CG space opera raises more questions than it answers.
12/10/08
Top CriticWill love save the day? You won't care -- more likely, you'll just wonder why this isn't a video game you can actually play.
