Dreamworks Monsters vs. Aliens

[MouthForWar]

THis sounds like a lot of fun. Aside from Pixar's stuff, I'm not really into the whole CG animation thing, but who could resist this?

From Dread Central:

Aside from some initial early rumblings about what the film will be about, it’s been a while since we heard a peep from Dreamworks Animation regarding Monsters Vs. Aliens. Today their vow of silence was broken to USA Today and a new pic has been revealed.

Advances in digital technology will make Monsters Vs. Aliens the first of a few upcoming animated films to be shown in “Ultimate 3-Dâ€

I'm so looking forward to this film!

Dreamworks has done a great job with Kung Fu Panda, so this is definitely something to look forward to, being a giant monster fan and all.

I couldn't find this thread for the life of me when I searched last night... oh well.

Well, I saw it yesterday, and I really enjoyed it. It's quite possibly Dreamworks' best animated movie aside from Shrek and Shrek 2. It's a great tip of the hat to old 1950s alien invasion movies, and of course giant monster movies like the Godzilla series.

[Spoiler Alert]

The story revolves around a woman named Susan (Reese Witherspoon), who, on her wedding day, gets hit by a meteor and grows several stories in height. Renamed Ginormica, she gets captured by the government and imprisoned in Area 51 alongside Dr. Cockroach Ph.D. (Hugh Laurie), the Missing Link (Will Arnett), B.O.B. (Seth Rogen) and the immense Insectosaurus. But when an extraterrestrial invasion begins and a gigantic alien robot threatens San Francisco, the President (Stephen Colbert) and General W.R. Monger (Keifer Sutherland) give their giant captives the chance to save humankind.

There's plenty of nice action sequences (including a chase through San Francisco which culminates in a brawl atop the Golden Gate Bridge), and quite a few winks to classic sci-fi movies (the President plays the Close Encounters of the Third Kind theme on a keyboard when the alien robot first lands on Earth).

The cast is great, too. Stephen Colbert is hilarious as the dim-witted President (which, thankfully, is not yet another "LAWL DUBYA BUSH" impression). Considering how Dreamworks is with pop-culture references, I kept expecting 24 and House gags to show up, due to Sutherland and Laurie, but they never came, which was simultaneously nice and disappointing.

I sort of hope this gets a sequel, but that just might be the G-Fan in me wanting to see more buildings get crushed.

I haven't gotten a chance to see this yet. I've been loaded with homework and other crap lately, but I'll be seeing it first chance I get. One of my good friends already saw it and said it was great. I can already tell I'll like it with monsters based on the Fly, Mothra, the Creature, and the Blob... and Stephen Colbert? I don't see how it can fail.
