Planet 51

Family Entertainment, nothing more, but nothing less either. The movie does have a few hints that only adults might catch, but it's overall kid-friendly. Which is not meant as a bad thing. It just doesn't have the complexity of a Pixar movie. But not every animated movie has to copy the Pixar style. It's kinda refreshing watching something like this as well as watching Pixar movies.Of course Pixar movies are better overall, but the voice talent here at least can match the one that they use too. Dwayne Johnson hits every note exactly as he has to. Comedy and action is nicely executed. A fun watch for everyone, if you don't expect too much or anything else for that matter!

It wasn't half as bad as I expected. Planet 51 is directed mainly at children, and the humor is appropriately simplistic, which makes the infinite number of cultural references, of a type that was archaic when Pleasantville used them ten years ago, rather odd, because it seems unlikely that any child would get them, but there are enough laughs to make it enjoyable, even if the admittedly appealing premise runs out of gas after about fifteen minutes. If the movie tried to make a serious point about what makes someone 'alien' or about xenophobia and fear of the unknown, then it failed miserably. But as a piece of straight entertainment for the family, it's a fairly enjoyable (thoug forgettable) piece of film.
'Sentiment: Negative âšī¸'
This film is about an American astronaut landing onto a distant planet, that unexpectedly has alien lifeforms."Planet 51" is possibly aimed at very young children. The so called jokes is painfully annoying and unfunny. To see two people repeating each others sentences, or chasing each other in circles is not funny for most adults or even slightly older children. The plot is quite uninspired and boring, very little happens but it's still stretched to 90 minutes. The obligatory moral lesson at the end is not touching either. This basically means that almost all aspects of "Planet 51" fails to entertain. I found "Planet 51" boring, forgettable and silly.
