Planet 51, 2009, Comedy
Plot: An astronaut from Earth lands on a planet inhabited by a bunch of green, sea-monkey-like humanoids who live their lives like it’s the 1950s.
Thoughts: This was a decent film that gave an interesting look at how humans would be viewed by another race (especially with those creepy astronaut get-ups). This film had some familiar names like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Gary Oldman, Jessica Biel, and Sean William Scott. The art direction in this film is also another thing that shows the creativity and originality of the movie. It’s kind of sad that this was not a Dreamworks or Pixar produced film but it’s also nice that Sony is throwing its hat in the ring to be considered as one of the premier powers in animation.
2.7/5
