Monsters vs. Aliens [DVD] [2009]

I had a coupon which brought me to the store. This little gem was on sale as well. I liked the fact it included digital. I also bought this movie because it was no longer on Netflix. It's a quirky movie about "monsters" that were "created" on Earth. One day Earth is "invaded by aliens", so they call upon the "monsters" to help defend the Earth. There are some fun nods to other movies, and there are some bits that I could've done without (a bit raunchy). All in all, it was a great deal.

I'm usually more of a horror and science fiction fan, not a lot of family films appeal to me but his movie is great fun for the whole family. Very lovable characters, and most of all I laughed quite a few times. It does what any movie should do, gives us a break from reality, a time just to enjoy ourselves. I would highly recommend this movie for people of all ages. Suitable for small children, but with enough story line and well developed characters for us "big" kids, lol.

As always, DreamWorks continues to produce great entertainment for the whole family. Monsters vs. Aliens is funny, brilliant and looks even more stunning in 3D! 3D movies are a big hit in our home and it's a shame that those of us who supported this tech are getting less and less material available to us. If you have and like 3D…continue to support it as long as you can…I've heard its huge overseas, so buying region free imports is still better than nothing. God Bless!

I wasn't sure if this movie would be entirely appropriate for my son. But after watching together, not only did he enjoy it, he asked to see it a second time immediately after we finished! It's not viewed as regularly as some of our other movies but it's definitely found a place in the rotation!

There are so many references to old Scifi/horror/monster movies. The characters are a lot of fun. I didn't love the villain, but all the heroes were fun and funny. I've never personally heard anyone talk about it, but I try to share with anyone I can. My only bummer was the case came broken and I didn't notice until after I'd unwrapped it.

I'm not going to do the inevitable and compare this to a Pixar movie. The tone of this is quite different than that. A goofy, loving nod at those Sci-Fi movies of yore. Equal doses of heart, and comedy, good for the small fry, and the adults, the all-star voice cast captures your imagination on this enjoyable ride.

I remember when I was in an electronic store some years back and this movie was playing. I put on the glasses and I was floored. I knew then I had to have a 3d tv. Fast forward to now and I still enjoy this 3D movie. Even though 3D didn't last, you still can get a kick out of it!

I've seen this film about 80 times and it gets better with age. My 18 month old and I quote it all the time in our everyday life. Good mmoooorrnniinnngg Modesto... or another classic like "you gotta better idea, nerd?!" If you have a kid that likes funny creatures in films, this is a must have.
