Planet 51

I just finished watching Planet 51! First time I see this movie trailer was at Ciwalk while I watched Sang Pemimpi The Movie. Yeah, at that time I taught the movie must be pretty interesting, and I was right. The idea is simple. It’s so kid’s movie typical. Actually, i really like the 3D details. They are bright and cute! ^^
The plot of the movie is decidedly straight-forward. But from the internet, they say it’s eerily similar to Iron Giant in general terms; the zany and cutesy version.
Anyway, let’s have some review:

Chuck Baker (Dwayne Johnson) is an astronaut. He lands his NASA probe on Planet 51, which he believes is an uninhabited world. Much to his surprise, the planet is not only populated by green ‘aliens’ in their own version of the ’50s, but he finds that these are rather xenophobic aliens. Soon the army is out in full force, the stories of alien mind-control abilities are running wild, and the chase is on. Chuck’s only hope of escape is in the hands of mild-mannered teen alien Lem (Justin Long), whose only worry five minutes ago was working up the nerve to ask out the lovely Neera (Jessica Biel).
It’s General Grawl (Gary Oldman) and Professor Kipple (John Cleese), and their thoroughly closed-minded fear vs. Chuck, a couple of teen aliens, and Rover the wonder bot, and time is running out, because Chuck’s ship is going back to Earth soon, with or without him.
Against a backdrop of a goofed out Happy Days, with floating cars, floating burgers, and sillified architecture, it’s a slapdash adventure with a few laughs and a generally fun tone, but with little that stands out as particularly interesting. There isn’t anything especially bad about it, but it certainly doesn’t have the fun factor of something like a Shrek or Madagascar.
Actually, there is one thing confused me: why is there a kiss scene in a kid’s movie? ewww, so Hollywood!
So, have you watched this movie, people? What do you think?
