Movie Reviews of Monsters vs. Aliens
Movie Review: "Monsters Vs. Aliens" is great!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Monsters Vs. Aliens" is great! This is how the story goes: When California girl Susan Murphy is unwittingly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk on her wedding day, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall. Alerted to the threat of this new monster, the military jumps into action and Susan is captured and secreted away to a covert government compound. There, she is renamed Ginormica and placed in confinement with a ragtag group of other monsters: the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.; the macho half-ape, half-fish The Missing Link; the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B.; and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement is cut short, however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and begins storming the country. In a moment of desperation, The President is persuaded by General W.R. Monger to enlist the motley crew of Monsters to combat the Alien Robot and save the world from imminent destruction.
The voice cast led by Reese Witherspoon (as Susan / Ginormica), Seth Rogen (as B.O.B.), Hugh Laurie (as Dr. Cockroach, PhD) & Will Arnett (as The Missing Link) is excellent! The directing by Conrad Vernon (who also directed "Shrek 2" (2004) & Rob Letterman (who also co-wrote the screenplay and directed "Shark Tale" (2004) (both who also wrote the story) is great! The story by Vernon & Letterman & the screenplay by Letterman, Maya Forbes, Wallace Wolodarsky (both who also did the screenplay to "The Rocker" (2008, which starred Rainn Wilson, who is the voice of Gallaxhar), Jonathan Aibel & Glenn Berger (who also co-produced and wrote the screenplay to "Kung Fu Panda" (2008) is great!
The music by Henry Jackman is great! The film editing by Joyce Arrastia (who also did the film editing to "Shrek The Third" (2007) & Eric Dapkewicz (who also did the film editing to "Flushed Away" (2006) is great! The animation and visuals are excellent!
This is a great animated film that keeps DreamWorks Animation's winning streak running on hot. An excellent voice cast led by Reese Witherspoon makes this an interesting choice of a computer-animated picture. This is probably an early Oscar contender for Best Animated Film.
