Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

trooper5783 I went and saw this in the theater when it first came out, two weeks after opening day, to be precise. I barely heard anyone of the people in the auditorium laughing, but I laughed so hard and so much throughout the runtime of the film that I had to view the film a second time at home to spot other in-jokes and references, for which I missed so many of those! The animation is gorgeous; the colors, the designs, the effects and the backgrounds are truly a wonder to behold, especially due to the fact that this movie was animated by a company that produces direct-to-DVD kids flicks(they've also produced Beast Wars/Transformers, there you go, 90s kids), and the visuals make the most out of fun 3-D gimmicks, unlike other animated films these days. The true shining star of the film other than the humor is the variety of voice talents; all fit their roles perfectly and are hilarious as their characters. Ignore the naysayers and check out this underrated animation that gets just about everything right: the comedy, the animation, the voice acting and the heart. It's not a Lion King or a Shrek, but it's a great entertainment that'll both thrill the kids and the kids at heart.

leonblackwood Review: Although this is definitely made for the kids, its one of those movies were adults can watch it as well because there are some funny jokes and the storyline isn't completely ridiculous. There is a wide variation of characters which keep the movie interesting and the animation was quite good. Its basically lighthearted fun for the whole family which is easy to follow from beginning to end. Personally, I wasn't expecting that much from the film so it was good to see that the director added a little adult humour, like the Simon Cowell reference and the talking robot who was supposed to be a rip off from the Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy. At the end of the day, it wasn't that great, but it harmless fun if you just want to watch something that will keep the kids quiet. Average!Round-Up: Surprisingly, there were some big names supplying there voices for this movie which was why I was expecting it to be bigger than it was. Jessica Alba, Sarah Jessica Parker, Brendan Fraser and Ricky Gervais are just some of the famous names on the cast list, but the movie didn't really blow up at the box office. Maybe that's because there isn't that much depth to the film and it seemed like the studio just wanted to release it while the kids were on holiday. Anyway, the movie made quite a profit so I'm sure that were going to see these characters in a sequel. As far as animated space movies go, I have seen worse but this isn't that memorable. Budget: $40million Worldwide Gross: $75millionI recommend this movie to people who are into there animated, intergalactic kiddie movies about a space technician going to save his heroic brother from earth were an evil man has kidnapped him. 4/10

jaredsemingson Animated films are usually a hit or miss. Well, this one hit it right on target. Made for the young, old, whoever. Just an all around good film. The whole time we root for these characters. I was entertained from beginning to end. There was never a dull moment and the music really sets the tone for every scene. Each character is so different and their rapport is refreshing. The animation is top-notch. I don't usually go out of my way to see an animated film unless it's Finding Dory. Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed this one so I had to let the readers know. FUNNY, EXCITING, INTERESTING, HEART-FELT. I have to admit I got a little teary eyed in a couple scenes, over an animated film? "Come on man you're better than that." Nobody saw, it's all good. Everything you hope to find in this movie is there. Happy summer at the movies.

TxMike We saw this on DVD from our public library. As with virtually all animated movies, it is just an extended cartoon just for fun. There are many sight gags and slapstick, plus a few funny lines.The main character has Brendan Fraser voicing Scorch Supernova, who looks and sounds a bit like Buzz Lightyear from the Toy Story movies. But where Buzz was a toy, Scorch is an actual blue alien living on a world many light years away from Earth. He gets the emergency call and heads to Earth for a rescue.It is funny the way these aliens describe Earth, calling it the "dark planet" because aliens who go there never escape, like they get sucked into a black hole. The aliens use old films to show some Earth facts, and in their interpretation it is the only planet where evolution happened in reverse. It started with intelligent dinosaurs and now is inhabited by an inferior species, humans.In a stroke of irony Scorch ends up at the 7-11 store near Area 51, that region famous for alien sightings. It turns out the US government has a secret fortress where various aliens are imprisoned and studied. In fact most of the new technology, cell phones, the internet, etc were results of technology stolen from those captured aliens. So Scorch with the help of his geeky brother has to free everyone and escape Earth.Other great voice actors include Rob Corddry , Ricky Gervais, Jessica Alba, Sofía Vergara, and Sarah Jessica, plus a number of lesser-known talents.
