Monsters Vs. Aliens - Movie Review
Monsters vs Aliens is actually quite good. I don't want to oversell it - the script is still a draft or two away from being something really special - but Monsters vs Aliens manages to be charming, fun and even exciting. It certainly made my mouth water for a legitimate American giant monster movie.
Now to get to the meat of this review, the story is pretty much if this was the love child of a b-monster and alien movie since the beginning of the movie starts with Susan (Reese Witherspoon) turning into the reincarnation of the 20,000 ft. amazon woman named Ginormica (very subtle :0) . She meets other characters like the Missing Link (Will Arnet) basically the Sea Monster, one of my favorite animated characters B.O.B (Seth Rogan) who is by far the dumbest monsters who have ever known but he is still so damn likable and finally Dr. Cockroach Ph.D (Hugh Laurie, yes the guy who plays the self entitled House) is every mad scientist cliche down to the mad laughter except for being a cockroach. These MONSTERS are being contained from the world by the U.S. government until an alien named Gallaxher (Rainn Williams) finds that a rare material is found on earth and after a short moment of humans wanting peace, the alien starts to wreck havoc on earth so the government decide to use monsters to combat the threat. The story overall is basically a cut and paste typical monster disaster movie but what makes this movie work on its own merits is not the jokes but the characters are so fleshed out and have their own Quirks that that make them very likable despite that fact that they are MONSTERS! (I have to do that every 2 seconds).
My Rating:
7.5 out of 10 as a movie
8.5 out of 10 in IMAX 3D as an experience
