Planet 51

Rating: 5.5/10

Genre: Animation

Overall value for time and money: 5.2/10

Welcome to Planet 51, which looks pretty much like Saturn and where green planetlings inhabit. Everything was going well for the protagonist, Lem until a spacecraft lands on their planet and everyone on the planet thinks its an alien invasion. The clueless American astronaut must seek the help of Lem to re-secure his spacecraft so that he can return to earth.

The best parts of the movie are already shown in the trailer. The story development was weak and slow and lacked any engagement. There was little or superficial character development and it felt like a cheap animation in all. Together with the what-seemed-like "crappy" lines and the no-brainer plot, this movie is not worth your time. There are better movies out there and even better animations out there for the viewing. This falls under the "Over the hedge" and "Hoodwinked" category of time-wasters.

I didn't feel anything for the characters and the links were so convenient and abrupt which really disappointed me. Errr.... 4 fingers down I guess?
