View All Critic Reviews Nov 11, The film has a fun concept but the overall story is lacking and the voice cast is somewhat subdued.
The twist on the 50s paranoia was an inspired choice and the fun is spotting all the pulp culture references, this is probably why I enjoyed this film more than the typical audience. The biggest flaw is the short running time and characters that don't connect as well as you would like.
The turnaround to create this film is probably why it feels so shallow, it was half the production of a standard animated film. In a competitive market a film like Planet 51 fails to impress and when Dawyne Johnson is tamed right down, you begin to realise this film was a massive missed opportunity. Good for the kids and something you can sink your teeth into but not a great film. Audio Software icon An illustration of a 3. Software Images icon An illustration of two photographs.

I admit it's not perfect, but I think it deserves another chance. But more of that later, first, here's a very brief summary miss the next paragraph if you hate summaries. Planet 51 is supposed to be lifeless, well, that's what the data said anyway.
Unfortunately for astronaut Captain Charles T. Baker, it isn't. Alien life forms with green skin inhabit this little planet and they have advanced as far as the 's, that's USA 's, just in case there's any doubt.
A teenager, Lem, befriends Baker and, with the help of his friends, Skiff and Eckle, hides him from the army and their leader, General Grawl and the crazy scientist, Professor Kipple.
He is in love with Eckle's sister, Neera, but struggles with getting the right words out. Back with the mission, help is at hand in the form of R. Time is running out for Baker, his command craft, in orbit, leaves in 72 hours. Can Lem and his friends get him back to his Lander in time? Will Baker help Lem with Neera? Is there any end to these crazy questions? Guess you'll have to wait and see. As I said at the beginning, there are plenty of gags incorporated into the script and there's also a lot of slapstick.
The dialogue was adequately delivered, but then nobody was really stretched. Over all I found it a very entertaining movie with quite a few laughs. I guess it's down to taste and I'm aware that we are all different, especially when it comes to comedy, but I urge you to give this one a chance. My score: 6.
