Monsters vs. Aliens is an all right movie. Even watching it on an HDTV with a group of friends, you could tell it was made with the intent of being seen in 3D and that the target audience was more kids than their parents or their older siblings. The plot follows Susan (Witherspoon) on her wedding day, who gets hits by a meteor and becomes 50 feet tall. She is taken by the government, represented by General Monger (Sutherland), to a monster storage facility, where she meets BOB the blob (Rogen), the lizardman called The Missing Link (Arnett), the mad scientist Dr. Cockroach (Laurie), and the ginormous silent Insectosaurus. When aliens, represented by Gallaxhar (Wilson), start invading earth, the government unleashes the monsters to fight them off.The movie is pretty slow to start, not making any good jokes and not progressing the plot much. In fact, it's kind of awkward and unsettling to see Susan's relationship with her fiance (Rudd). Once it gets going (about halfway in), there are quite a few laugh-out-loud moments. The graphics aren't particularly awesome, especially compared to Pixar films, but they're still pretty good (especially in HD). All in all, the movie is fairly average. It garnered some laughs, but there weren't really too too many jokes or moments that I can see myself quoting or remembering in the future. Pass on it unless you're a huge B monster movie fan.
