Monsters vs Aliens

Dreamworks has hit the big screen again with this animated 3D feature film. It is a revival of the classic 50's alien B-movie. The story is pretty simple and goes like this: The main character Susan Murphy is hit by a meteor and turns into the giant Ginormica. The government doesn't like having monsters like her around on the streets and locks her up in a secret government facility along with other fellow monsters. However, when earth is attacked by mean aliens, which the military cannot defeat they turn to the monsters to help them. This film has been looked forward to by many people, but a lot of them feel let down a little bit by the too predictable story and mediocre screenplay. The one thing that seems to stand out, though, is the creative use of 3D in the IMAX version. Instead of making it a main feature of the movie, 3D is used to tell the story; especially to communicate a sense of scale between monsters, aliens and humans. All in all, it seems to be a pretty good film. Kids will be amused and adults will be entertained enough to not get bored.
