It's like it's RIGHT THERE

Last night we saw Monsters Vs Aliens. A film that tells you all you need to know straight from the title alone. Way way back I claimed that this film would be great purely cos of the name, and well I'm happy to say I was correct.



It's one of those computer animated films, in the ilk of Toy Story and other Pixar greats, as in it's all CGI animation. Which to be fair has kinda outstayed it's welcome in my view. Animation can be anything and still be good, it doesn't have to be fancy CGI to entertain. Anyway, rant over.

The film is awesome fun. It's not going to win any awards, or be claimed as groundbreaking, but what it does have (comedy) it does have in spades. The animation is of course smooth and detailed, but its the characters and the look of the characters that make this film work. Its not loaded with pop culture references, it's just telling a story and having fun.



Insectasaurous. Big, fuzzy, not good with bridges.

It's worth going to see, but if you are gonna catch it at the cinema, go and see it in all amazing 3D. You may look a twat in the glasses, but the effects are great and really enhance what you're watching. And let's be honest, no one's gonna be looking at you anyway in a darkened cinema, right?
