I can’t believe I didn’t write this review when the movie came out.
Monsters vs Aliens is a play on the classic Monster movies. After a horrible accident on her wedding day, Susan Murphy (voiced by Reese Witherspoon) is turned into a giant. In typical government fashion, she is kidnapped and brought to a secret military facility, run by General W.R. Monger (voiced by Kiefer Sutherland) and has been holding monsters since the 50s. The monsters shown in this film, include B.O.B. a blob of blue goop (voiced by Seth Rogen), a mad roach scientist (voiced by Hugh Laurie), a fish-humanoid found in Antarctica (voiced by Will Arnett) and a 50-story tall fuzzy insectoidthingymerbobber… that has been described as the illegitimate offspring of a gerbil and glo-worm. There is a 6th monster held in this base, unfortunately, we don’t get to see much of him… the deceased Invisible Man. When the evil alien overlord Gallaxhar (voiced by Rainn Wilson) attacks earth, the government releases the monsters in order to defend humanity.
This movie, like most 3D animations had elements for all the viewers, comedy geared to the grownups, some disgusting stuff for little boys, giant butterflies for the little girls, but I have to say the story was a bit… weak and predictable.
The modeling, texturing and animating was top notch though, with textures seen on the lips to tiny crows feet near the eyes.
Some other noteworthy voice actors in this film included, Stephen Colbert as the president, Renée Zellweger as Katie and Tom McGrath (Skipper the penguin from Madagascar) as Wilson.
