Planet 51 - DVD Review

By: Bill Gibron filmcritic.com DVD Reviews

Published on: 2/26/2010 6:43 PM

Imagine ET reversed and restaged in that newfangled family film mandate, CGI, and you've got some idea of what to expect with Planet 51. Is it as good as Spielberg's exquisite suburban sci-fi fable? No way. Does it offer a better than average action adventure featuring interesting animation and characters you will care about. Well…Sadly, it seems that the three first time filmmakers in charge of this project -- Marcos Martinez, Javier Abad, and Jorge Blanco -- have studied exclusively at the Shark Tale/Shrek school of cartoon humor....read the full review

Hollywood Reporter
"[P]erky....Kids will enjoy the swift action and slapstick gags..." 11/15/2009

Chicago Sun-Times
"PLANET 51 is a jolly and good-looking animated feature in glorious 2-D." 11/20/2009

Entertainment Weekly
"[PLANET 51] delivers a few pleasant surprises, including a smart story...and clever characters..." -- Grade: B 11/27/2009

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

Entertainment Weekly 7 of 10
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
