Yesterday, I went to the Animation movie “Monsters Vs Aliens” with my Friends in Sathyam Cinemas, Chennai.

Monsters vs Aliens - 3D Animation Movie Poster

Monsters Vs Aliens is a 3D Animated movie and you get to wear 3D glass to view it. The movie was slightly boring in the first half. Susan (the tall girl in the poster in the right) is hit by a meteor and turns into a monster. She’s then taken to secret government prison or lab(strangely quite big to keep it secret ;-) ) headed by General Monger, where she meets 4 other monsters Dr. Cockroach – scientist with cockroach head, BOB – brainless jelly with only one eye, Missing Link – crocodile like creature and Insectosarus – a huge insect(hence not in this poster), that becomes a butterfly in the climax. Susan turned huge absorbing a substance called quantonium and Gallaxhar, an alien is in search of it and sends a giant robot to extract the substance from susan.

The giant robot lands in US. US president(comedian of this movie) comes to talk with the robot and plays the Crazy frog tune :-) . The robot gets annoyed and destroys everything and the huge US military couldn’t do anything. The General suggests to use Monsters to fight against the Aliens. The monsters fight sucessfully against the robot and Gallaxhar decides to come to earth to complete the misson.

Gallaxhar comes to earth in his huge space ship. Susan and other monsters fight with Gallaxhar and destroys his space ship in the end.

The funny part was the meeting often held in a secure US office. The office has 2 huge red button, 1 to make coffee and the other to launch nuclear attack. The US President in the movie often goes to hit button to lauch nuclear attack trying to prepare coffee and every time he’s stopped by the alarming members of the office.

Plus:

  • Realistic animation.
  • Kids will enjoy the movie.

Minus:

  • Though the movie is a 3-D movie there isn’t much noticable 3-D effects.
  • Not upto Hollywood standards.
  • You have to pay extra for the 3-D glass. (Rs.20 extra for the glass and has to be returned back!!!).

Overall, a below par Hollywood movie, worth watching once. Have a look at the clips in the Monsters Vs Aliens Official website.
