i really don't have too much to complain about having known that i was getting into a kids movie from the beginning. you'd be better off getting your kids movie kicks elsewhere, but if you've exhausted that catalog this isn't a horrible place to stoop.

I can't tell you exactly why I liked this movie so much. It's very much a kids movie, and the plot and science are ridiculous. But there's something utterly endearing about the display of 50s and 60s culture, and the way they call upon all of sci-fi history with ease. Maybe I'm just a sucker for space and science fiction, but even though this is no Pixar film, I found it quite enjoyable.

There is almost nothing good to say about this movie. I loved the trailers, but I wish the movie was just as vague. Any semblance of plot causes this film to fall apart.

A very cute and funny movie where a human lands on another planet and is the alien. I loved the 1950's styling of the alien vehicles, and the scene where the alien mom tells her kid to eat his dinner or the aliens will come is priceless. Some of the animation was poor, and the story was pretty weak, but overall the movie was fun to watch and entertaining.

Enjoyable as long as you accept the reality given. Some good comedy bits and action parts. It can be exactly what you want to see if you are in the right mood.

I thought this was a cute idea, unfortunately the writers never really moved beyond that one cute idea.

I really didn't like anything about this movie. The animation is decent but the premise isn't used to its full advantage and no one is really likable. The dialogue also seems too juvenile for my taste, which I didn't think it would be but here we are. A real waste of time.

There are better movies. It's not bad, but it is not that good either.

A'ight so think of Pixar's 'Reversal formula', you know: 'Rats in the kitchen' or 'monsters being scared of kids'. That sorta stuff. Now, this is their littlebrother's fan-boi depiction of just that sorta story. It was okay, but I needed more Dolph Lundgren. And a blond-haired alien that 'Comes in peace', but actually sucked the something-something out of big breasted blondes. Oh for fucks sake. So I really wanted to watch 'Dark Angel' instead of this.

Attempts to do to sci-fi what Shrek does to fairy-tales but it's less subversive and has a lower gag count. Retro styled and anti-war, it's Iron Giant-y, in a good way. Making The Rock white was really stoopid though.

An enjoyable animated comedy. Lots of inside jokes and sight gags to make you giggle. Not great, but perfectly watchable.

"The film fails at creating characters with credible emotional textures, a task easily, and vividly, demonstrated by Pixar time and time again." - Adam Keleman

Although the animation is certainly capable and there are some moments of decent comedy this falls far short of an engaging animation. It has some nice nods to the genre (ET, Star Wars etc). However, the characters don't ever build the relationship with the viewer you see in the likes of Disney or Pixar. Not a total disaster but its often cerebral humour isn't likely to engage the kids.

Cute movie, but one thing still bothers me: Why is The Rock a blonde haired, blue eyed white guy?

The animation flow and alien world were so good and funny that I wanted to give much more points for this flick, but the story sucked in large scale that I could not. All the best visual jokes and movie connections can be found from the beginning. As soon as you will find out what's going on, the inner logic will fade somewhere into oblivion.

A semi fun animated movie. More for kids though. Not an animated movie for adults and kids like Shrek.
