Box Office
3 stars out of 5 -- "Fans of Googie architecture of the 1950s and '60s will appreciate the way the movie pays homage to it in the planet's buildings, which are at once retro and futuristic." 11/20/2009

It takes only one look at the rigid, rubbery aliens in this sci-fi spoof to know that we aren't dealing with topflight computer animation here. But Planet 51 still delivers a few pleasant surprises, including a smart story -- a reverse-E.T. riff that plops an American astronaut down in a world of just-like-us-only-green creatures -- and clever characters, like a lovable NASA rover with canine programming. He's no WALL-E, but you'd have to be an alien yourself not to smile when he starts wagging his antenna like a robot beagle. - Adam Markovitz
