Monsters vs. Aliens Review

From the company that brought you "Shrek," "Kung-Fu Panda," and "Madagascar," comes Dreamworks' exciting motion picture, "Monsters vs. Aliens." The story is about a young bride, Susan, who through a meteor grows to incredible size and transported to a secret location where monsters are kept locked up.
Some of these monsters include: Insectosaurus, the small grub who grew to tremendous size through radiation, The Missing Link, the mythic sea monster found frozen in ice, Dr. Cockroach, a brilliant scientist-turned-cockroach after an experiment gone wrong, and B.O.B., an indestructable substance with no brain!
When an Alien race invades the earth, the monsters are given the opportunity of a lifetime to save the world and prove why they are more than just... monsters. It's a movie about accepting others as the way the are and that teamwork always saves the day.
The movie itself is more than just a ragtag group of monsters fighting an advanced alien race, it's a well-created film from a talented company. The visual effects and computer technology reallygive the film it's real appearance. In fact, whenever B.O.B. eats something, you can literally see the substance float in the gel or dissolve before your eyes.
The characters created were all inspired by classic monster films from the past. These variety of films include: "Creature from the Black Lagoon," "The Fly," "The Blob," and "Independance Day." Without these movies, we would not have the characters Dreamworks has created.
But this characters would not be complete without it's stunning cast. Some of the cast members include Seth Rogan {B.O.B.}, making this his 2nd Dreamworks movie, Hugh Laurie {Dr. Cockroach}, who we all remember as 'House', and introducing Reese Witherspoon as Susan aka Ginormica. These cast mates were not selected because they are favorites to Dreamworks. These actors and actresses were selected because they possessed the talents for these roles to literally become the characters. That's what makes Dreamworks movies enjoyable to watch, selecting the right cast for these roles.
Based on the knowledge and the facts, I hereby give "Monsters vs. Aliens" a 4-5. While the comic lines were well made, there's always one minor issue. The one issue I would give is that the story is almost predictable yet still enjoyable. All and all, I enjoyed the film especially in 3D at the Imax Theater. If your all looking forward to a family picture with lots of laughs, Monsters vs. Aliens is the one for you. Until I here from you next time, break a leg!
