ooze gonna save us?

I just saw Monsters vs. Aliens last week. For me, it was a good animated movie. It has a bit of charicature style to it, which you can see from the looks of the human, and a cast of characters that you’ll definitely remember. Although you cannot compare it to a Pixar movie story-wise (it’s by Dreamworks), it is entertaining and very funny nonetheless.

It’s a simple story of friendship where a band of monsters are tasked to save the earth from aliens. The movie also shows that though monster look scary or hideous, they can also so be caring and good-hearted creatures. And its from these creatures that you’ll get the most fun out of the movie, especially B.O.B. (short for Benzoate-Ostylezene-Bicarbonate). He’s the blue ooze-like monsters with one eye. He had the funniest lines and scenes in the movie (maybe that’s because he doesn’t have a brain). One of my favorites is where he is playing with his eyeball and bouncing it on the wall and then catching it. The part where they all disguised as Gallaxhar (the alien invader) is also hilarious. The voice cast is also top-notch, which includes Reese Witherspoon (Ginormica), Seth Rogen (B.O.B.), Stephen Colbert (the president), Hugh Laurie (Dr. Cockroach), and Kiefer Sutherland (General W.R. Monger) just to name a few. Where else can you find Jack Bauer and House in one movie?

It is also being shown in IMAX, but I did’nt have enough budget so I just saw it in a regular theater, but its worth the admission ticket. If you want to see a good movie and to have a good laugh at the same time, try to check it out. Now, I just have to wait for Up, Ice Age 3, Planet 51, and 9, oh and Transformers and Wolverine and Terminator and G.I. Joe and …
