About this movie

An unstoppable android on the horizon. A mysterious fireball hurtling toward Earth. A fearless – and beautiful – reporter who will stop at nothing to get her story. It’s just another day for the heroic Man of Steel… only this time, for better or for worse, he has his unpredictable cousin, Supergirl, by his side. The gritty adventure begins as Superman learns about the ruthless force known as Brainiac, who has seized and miniaturized Krypton’s capital city of Kandor. Determined to liberate the captured metropolis and protect his home planet from Brainiac’s increasing power, Superman takes on his most menacing enemy yet in this DC Universe animated original movie based on the gripping comic book miniseries.

Ratings and reviews

There's a great dynamic between Superman & Supergirl. She's unsure & lost; he's confident & steady. Their scenes keep you engaged. Lois Lane is also written well. Brainiac is menacing at times & John Noble's voice acting is spectacular, yet this movie isn't his greatest. Superman's visit to Kandor under the red son, & visiting w/ Kara's parents are great scenes. I personally enjoyed the animation. It reminded me of the Flashpoint Paradox animation style.

"Earth- it's my home, its my heart! It gives me strength!" Worst lines I've ever heard. Just flat COOOORNNNNY! An aMAIZEingly bad line. I'm a BIG fan of Supes world, but I should have waited till this hit Netflix. Glad I didn't rent HD version so I at least saved a whole buck. Brainiac. The most powerful computer life form created in every existence future and past, wimping out on some bugs, mud, rush hour traffic, and the sound of babies crying was a bit much. My 3 stars are generous.

I love dc comics. I could get a better visual from graphic audio who by the way has way better voices and can draw me more into the story. This is ok but please don't try. If this is all you can do.
