It's enjoyable if you're OK with it being more about the journey than the destination. I liked it - I thought it raised some interesting thoughts about the different kinds of creation and the scary machine monsters were good and scary.
I probably need to see it again with less of an audience: why yes, there are reasons it's rated PG-13. Just because it's an animated movie - hey, see that animated dead body? (There were a couple of them, but no faces.) Idiots. It's probably OK for kids that are like 8 or older (but I'm not a parent and haven't spent a lot of time with children in a while, so take that advice with a grain of salt).
I think this is going to be my last release-day viewing for a while. I saw Gamer Friday and I think a significant chunk of the audience didn't appreciate the irony of some of the more appalling parts.
