Monsters vs Aliens (1-Disc) [DVD]

Enjoyed the film watch with my granddaughter and will watch again

Item came fast in great condition and disc played great

An excellent kids film, it manages to mix into the plot very well 1950s sci-fi B movies (attack of the 50ft woman, it conquered the world, earth v the flying saucers) with some modern sci-fi films (close encounters, independance day, fantastic four) it won't take much to spot them. Theres some great actors doing the voices like most animated films these days. The story moves along at a good pace and managed to hold my son's interest whilst also keeping me ammused spotting all the scenes from other films. The story is perdictable enough though this doesn't detract from it's enjoyment.

Monsters vs Aliens is a really fun family film. A meteor lands on earth and the substance goes into Judy who is just going to get married but fails because she becomes the 50 foot woman. She gets taken to a government facility that holds others like her. The alien who wants the substance that went into her sends a robot which they defeat so he goes himself and all chaos happens. Great film for all the family.

A CGI cartoon movie that is both a spoof of and an affectionate homage to B-picture monster movies from the 1950's. Susan is just an ordinary lady, and she is about to marry Derek, an upwardly mobile tv presenter. But on her wedding day a meteor strike turns her hair white and makes her very very tall indeed. Captured by the military and rechristened Ginormica, she finds herself in a holding facility with other monsters rounded up by the army over the years. Mad scientist and human mind in indestructible body Dr. Cockroach, gelatinous blob B.O.B. and creature from the black lagoon style monster link. Plus the giant insect insectasaurus. Seemingly destined to be locked away for the rest of her life and to never get things back to the way they were, her life is changed forever when the owners of the meteor come looking for it. Who can save the human race from alien attack? The monsters can. Adopting an interestingly angular style of animation this takes a few minutes to get used to, and then there's a fair bit of exposition and character introduction to get through first. But suddenly about twenty minutes in, when all that is out of the way and the first of several very well executed and designed action sequences takes place, this becomes very watchable indeed. Now that you're used to the characters all the humour - which comes out of character interaction and behaviour rather than random gags - becomes very funny and the pace of it never lets us up. Added to which there's a fairly decent story which provides a good amount of eye catching spectacle along the way. The obvious 'just be yourself' message is fine, and it's never hammered home. Once you get into this it becomes a thoroughly entertaining romp. And keep watching during the end credits for one extra scene. This is the single disc dvd edition. Languages and subtitles are as follows: Languages: English. Subtitles: English. Extras are: Modern monster movie making: a seventeen minute long making of feature with shots of the production and interviews with cast and crew. An entertaining watch and some interesting technical stuff about 3D in there. Along with some very brief flashing images so epileptics be careful. The tech of monsters vs aliens: a seven minute long feature about the computers and computer programmes used in the animation. Which praises them so much it could be seen as blatant product placement, no matter how worthy the sentiments. Three deleted scenes that run for five minutes all in all, and can be watched all in a row or one at a time. The first two are storyboards only and not animated but the last one is, although they all have a finished soundtrack. The first does fill in one minor plot detail that wasn't in the final cut of the film, and the other two are pretty good. A commentary from the filmmakers. Dreamworks animation video jukebox: songs from other movies from the production company that can be watched in a row or all together. And on the main menu of the disc moving the down key on the dvd remote control will bring the cursor atop a part of the screen that says DO NOT PRESS and light up a new icon. Clicking on that will play a small batch of trailers. All of which are by now a bit out of date. Good film. Good dvd.

As described

Grandchildren loved this one as well and thought it was great fun.Dr Cockroach Ph.D. had the seven year old on the floor laughing. Insectosaurous and the Missing Link were the best for the ten year old.The most unlikely crew you could think of to have a mission to save the world. It was a great film and most of all the kids loved it. Many thanks Tricia

I bought a new laptop recently which has a blu-ray player, so I bought Monsters v Aliens to play on it as I've seen snippets of the film but not the whole thing. Even though it's only a 16" screen, the film did not disappoint and I think it will look even more brilliant when I eventully buy a HD TV and blu-ray player!

星５つの理由。モンスターVSエイリアン スペシャルエディションの仕様。 本編94分、音声は英語と日本語。字幕も英語字幕と日本語字幕が有りました。 特典は、音声解説、メイキング、新世代の3D、未公開シーン、ジュークボックス、 トップシークレット！となっております。 この映画は、大人に向けたオマージュ映画だと思いました。邦画の怪獣映画や 特撮映画、洋画のSF映画の要素が上手く含まれており、どちらかと言うと大人に 向けたCGアニメですね。巨大化したスーザンは、ウルトラマンみたいで観ていて 嬉しくなってしまいました。ストーリーも良く出来てると思いました。 特に後半は、凄く盛り上がりアニメでしか出来ない表現に感動出来ました！。 読んでいただき、ありがとうございます。

Ist sehr schnell angekommen Aber nicht gewusst das englische Sprache war

Tenía rato buscando esta pelicula en bluray con doblaje en español, y por fin la encontré! Me encanta y ya esta en mi colección.

the kids love the movie

Der Film Monsters versus Aliens ist prima: gute Handlung und schön animiert; ein Klassiker in diesem Bereich. - leider war mir bei der Bestellung nicht klar, dass - da es sich um einen UK-Import handelt - der Film ausschliesslich in englischer Sprache zu sehen ist und es keine Sprachwahl für die deutsche Sprache gibt. So war meine Tochter enttäuscht, nichts verstehen zu können. Bleibt wohl nur, den Film als Englisch-Trainer zu verstehen.....
