When monsters save the world
MOVIE: Monsters vs aliens
DIRECTOR: Rob Letterman , Conrad Vernon
CAST: Voices of Reese Witherspoon , Seth Rogen and Hugh Laurie
GENRE: Animated
RATING: **
VERDICT: Don't bother.
WHAT'S IT ABOUT: Labelled as monsters and out to save the world, a bunch of characters use oddity as their weapon.
On her wedding day, Susan Murphy (Reese Witherspoon) is hit by a meteorite infused with Quantonium, a rare and powerful element that causes her to grow to an enormous size.
Susan is captured and imprisoned at a secret facility including Dr. Cockroach (Hugh Laurie), a mad scientist who accidentally transformed himself into a roach-human hybrid, B.O.B. (Seth Rogen) , brainless mass brought to life in an experiment gone wrong, The Missing Link (Will Arnett), a Creature-from-the-Black-Lagoon-like lizard man, and the skyscraper-sized mutant larvae Insectosaurus.
When deranged alien overlord Gallaxhar (Rainn Wilson) arrives on Earth to obtain the precious Quantonium and conquer the world, President Hathaway (Stephen Colbert) offers the monsters their freedom in exchange for defeating the evil mastermind and his legion of robots and clones.
WHAT'S HOT: Susan turning into Ginormica , a 50-feet woman who teams up with other monsters to save the world!
WHAT'S NOT: All the other characters, be it the groom or the US president or the evil alien and his one-eyed robot, just don't seem exciting enough. Narrative plods along and the dialogues are not gripping.
