Monsters vs Aliens Blu Ray

Monsters vs Aliens Blu Ray Review

Aside from Shrek series, DreamWorks Animation hasn’t stacked up too well against Pixar animation films. Overall, Pixar has produced better films. That is why I was pleasantly surprised by Monsters vs Aliens. DreamWorks always boasted great animation and voice talents. They just failed to produce compelling stories. Monsters vs Aliens is a very good comedic film. Add in the 3D viewing and it makes for a good time for both children and adults.

While the story line isn’t as deep as some of the Pixar animation movies, it does have very funny and fresh story line. The entire movie borrows heavily from various pop culture and cult movies. The premise of the alien attacking and the bumbling president is very similar to Mars Attacks!. Susan Murphy gets struck by a meteor during her wedding day. This causes her to grow into a giant human being. Somehow, the Army gets this information and imprisons her with other “monsters.” The “monsters” include B.O.B, Dr. Cockroach, and The Missing Link. Together, they are imprisoned until Gallaxhar shows up to attack Earth. This causes panic and everyone turns to the “monsters” to take care of the threat.

I have not had chance to watch the film in 3D. The reviews for the 3D viewing were fairly positive across the board. Until we get the proper technology at home, it will hard to emulate the 3D effects seen in theater. Overall, the film is very entertaining. It is not just for kids and the adults will appreciate some of the more mature humor. The voice cast is excellent from top to bottom. I really enjoyed Stephen Colbert and Hugh Laurie as the President and Dr. Cockroach respectively. I could easily see this being a franchise like the ever popular Shrek.
