Maybe multiplex-movie producers strike is a good thing – I probably wouldn’t have gone for Monsters vs. Aliens if things had been normal – it seemed more like a kiddie flick. And as I have consistently proven over the year on this blog, I can be quite erroneous in my assumptions !! You should definitely catch this one – with or without kids !!
It’s a DreamWorks animation (makers of Shrek and Kungfu Panda) and its in 3D !! The fact that its 3D is one of the better kept secrets about the movie – I had no clue about it till I walked into the movie. But it does give it that extra fun – things keep whizzing towards you. But even without the 3D coolness – it is still a very enjoyable movie.
Not much of a storyline. Susan Murphy (voiced by Reese Witherspoon) is happily counting minutes till her marriage, when she happens to get hit by a mysterious meteorite and grows 50ft in size. The government locks her away deeming her a public hazard and Susan discovers that she is not the only 'monster' around – there are others locked in the ‘monster’ jail – who become her new friends. And when an Alien robot lands on the earth, the president takes a call to use the monsters to fight the robot. What happens next is for you to watch
The simplistic storyline is more than compensated by the humour and the comic characters. Each of the other monsters – Dr Cockroach, The Missing Link and BOB are hilarious as well as adorable. The wit is intelligent and BOB especially is the one to watch out. You could say it’s a funnier version of Kung Fu Panda – less cuteness and more jokes.
So take some time out from IPL matches and watch Monsters vs. Aliens this week …
