This development soon comes across the radar of General W.R. Monger (Kiefer Sutherland), the
head of a top secret federal agency assigned to hide any proof of paranormal phenomena from the
public. So, he dispatches soldiers armed with tranquilizer darts to subdue Susan and to cart her off to
a maximum-security government facility where four other genetic anomalies are already housed.
There, Susan, aka Ginormica, bonds with her fellow freaks of nature: B.O.B. (Seth Rogen), a
brainless, but indestructible, gelatinous blob; Dr. Cockroach (Hugh Laurie), a brilliant mad scientist;
Insectosaurus (Conrad Vernon), a 350 foot-long, silk-spitting worm; and the Missing Link (Will Arnett),
an amphibious hybrid which looks like the first creature to crawl out of the sea on the evolution chart.
And just when they’re on the verge of giving up any hope of ever seeing the light of day again, a flying
saucer lands in California with an army of menacing clones aboard.
After their diabolical leader Gallaxhar (Rainn Wilson) paradoxically announces “I come in peace… I
mean you no harm and you will all die,” hawkish President Hathaway (Stephen Colbert) is impatient
to exercise the nuclear option in response. However, General Monger talks the commander-in-chief
into unleashing his rag-tag team of superheroes on the horde of invaders from outer space.
The spectacular (especially in 3-D) epic battle which ensues up and down the streets of San
Francisco, on the Golden Gate Bridge and below in the Bay is the raison d’etre of Monsters vs. Aliens,
a CGI-driven animated adventure that’s all about the wow factor. Don’t be put off by the spoon-fed
storyline simplistic enough for a five year-old to follow, this is a flick to be appreciated for its technical
wizardry alone.
A wholesome family flick that everybody can enjoy, provided mom and dad are willing to turn off their
brains when they put on the 3-D glasses.
