"Monsters vs. Aliens" has been digitally re-mastered into the unparalleled image and sound quality of The IMAX ExperienceŽ with IMAX DMRŽ technology for a truly immersive 3D experience. When California girl Susan Murphy is unexpectedly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall and is instantly labeled as a "monster" named Ginormica. The military jumps into action, and she is captured and held in a secret government compound. The world learns that the military has been quietly rounding up other monsters over the years. Their confinement time is cut short, however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and begins storming the country. As a last resort, under the guidance of General W.R. Monger (on a desperate order from the President), the motley crew of monsters is called into action to combat the aliens and save the world from imminent destruction.

Monsters vs Aliens

Jamieghosty from from Eastbourne, 5th April, 2009

Provided you watch this film in 3d, you'll love it's stunning scenes & graphics. More importantly it will take you mind off the fact that there is very little story and no new humour here at all. If you've ever seen a Dreamworks animated film before then there is nothing new here at all. Certainly nothing in the way of jokes or visual humour, I wonder if they've finally run out of fresh ideas? The 3d works superbly well though & is worth seeing for that alone.

Ace film

I really enjoyed this film. the animation was amazing. Im the type who appreciates the animation on films like shrek and this film too. There's loads of giggles through the film. I saw this on sunday (the second day of the previews) and we had to prebook our premier seats because the cinema was really packed out. I adore these kids films. like Bolt and monsters inc and wall.e . So this film was a definite must watch. and i wasn't disappointed. (i'm trying not to give away any spoilers in this review.) To sum everything up, Susan and 4 other monster friends have to save the day from an evil alien after something (im not saying what but it makes an appearance at the start of the film, and its not the burger lol.) This film is funny, well animated and heart warming. so what are you waiting for? go watch Monsters Vs Aliens!

Monster Hit

Maynard from , 15th April, 2009

Stunning, brilliant, breathtaking etc, etc................ Saw the film in 3D and it took my breath away (that's twice!!). Some reviewers seem to think it is light on story, well it is for kids and it was ok for me, and I'm no kid!!!! The 3D is wonderful as is the CGI especially the detail and shading. Go and see it and make a judgement, I'm sure you'll love it. 10 stars!!!!!!!

Ignore the others...

A Customer from England, 10th April, 2009

...this film is funny!!! Me and my mates (25 years old) loved this movie. It was very funny, and sweet and full of action. The cinema was full of kids and adults and they all seemed to love it too. I watched it in 3D and I think this is the only way to watch it! It was great - especially BOB!

Monsters vs Aliens

Nachooooo from from Liphook, 18th November, 2009

Anyone with children will know that if they like a film, you end up watching in every day. We watched this fim seven times, and as much as they loved it every time, so did we! Very funny dialogue, great action and if you get a chance to see the 3d version at the cinema, do so - the effects are amazing compared with other childrens 3d films. 5/5!

Cheered me Up

A Customer from Liss, 17th November, 2009

Ended up watching this film on a wet and boring Monday night and it cheered me up no end . There is nothing really new about this film but the characters are good and its really funny . There are lots of jokes aimed at adults and I loved the Insectosaurous and wonder if I can get one as a pet .
