Monsters Vs. Aliens 3D

Watch Trailer

With many nods and winks to sci-fi movies - The Blob, Close Encounters Of the Third Kind, Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman, Men In Black amongst others - and with Stephen Colbert playing a cowardly president, there's enough here to entertain the adults. For the kids, there's enough wackiness (Rogan's silly B.O.B is a hoot) and action to keep them amused. Let's not of course forget the novelty factor of 3D. Although Monsters Vs Aliens mightn't utilise the 3D aspects of the action scenes to full effect, they really come out to play during the tour of the underground compound, giving the massive lair a dizzying vastness. One disappointing factor is that this comedy doesn't explore the mountain of gags at its disposal and a little more effort in the story telling wouldn't have gone astray.
