Animation movies are always fun to watch and specially so if it happens to be Monsters vs. Aliens, which has enough humour, action and special effects to keep you glued to your seats. Produced by DreamWorks Animation and Paramount Pictures, it is the first computer animated movie to be directly produced in a stereoscopic 3-D format.
The movie shows how Susan Murphy (Reese Witherspoon) is hit by a meteorite on the day of her wedding to weatherman Derek Dietl (Paul Rudd), absorbing a substance called quantonium and growing into a giantess. Fearing people's lives, the police send her to a prison where she comes across General W.R. Monger (Kiefer Sutherland), B.O.B. (Seth Rogen), a brainless, indestructible gelatinous blob; Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D. (Hugh Laurie), a mad scientist with the head and abilities of a cockroach; the Missing Link (Will Arnett), an amphibious fish-ape hybrid; and Insectosaurus, a colossal grub that is even larger than Susan.Famous stars like Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogen, Hugh Laurie, Will Arnett, Rainn Wilson and Paul Rudd have lent their voices to the varied characters.
Where on one hand Susan yearns to get back her normal life, the movie takes us to Gallaxhar (Rainn Wilson), who detects the quantonium radiation emanating from Earth and deploys a gigantic robotic probe to find and extract it from its source, Susan. After a botched attempt by the President of the United States (Stephen Colbert) to make first contact with the robot, it begins destroying everything in sight, resisting all conventional military force. Finally, the monsters are handed over the task to fight the robot promising them freedom in return.
Amidst all this, the movie takes an emotional turn when Derek breaks up with Susan, leaving her feeling extremely isolated and lonely. Amidst a lot of action and excitement, the monsters successfully destroy the robot. Monsters vs Aliens then shows how Susan goes back to her normal life, is too happy to get rid of Derek, who once again tries to get in touch with her for his own benefit and how the monsters stumble upon their next mission and get ready to rescue the world.
As a unique promotional strategy, Bank of America gave away vouchers which covered the cost of an upgrade to a 3-D theatrical viewing of the film for its customers.
It was released in DVD and Blu-ray in the US and Canada on September 29, 2009 and will be released on October 26, 2009 in the UK. By grossing $59.3 million in 4,104 theaters during the opening weekend, the movie proved its mettle by completely gripping the Audience and their imagination. A Halloween special entitled "Monsters vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space" is also in the offing. If watching the movie wasn't enough for you, you now have the privilege of enjoying a game where you can wear the garb of the various characters and play through each of the scenes.
