Trivia

Whenever two names of the hazmat guys are said in succession, they match up with the names of famous directors or actors, e.g. a hazmat says: "Peter! Jackson! Detain him!", "George! Lucas! Let's go!", "Christopher! Nolan! On your feet!", "James! Cameron! Don't let him get away!", and during the food fight "Bruce" then "Willis." Relevant links: Peter Jackson, George Lucas, Christopher Nolan, James Cameron.

User Reviews

Enjoyable, but nothing spectacular

Good story, if a little bit uninspired. Some good moral points and impressive twists. As far as animations go, quality is right up there and an interesting ideas on how extra terrestrials could look. great variety in shape and sizes as well as a believable planet network. enjoyable graphics and great voice acting with a few celebs Took me forever to figure out who one of the characters were! but got there in the end. Nothing extra ordinary about it, some good takes on human way of life for the adults to chuckle at. All in all an enjoyable movie, and while its not up with the best animations i've ever seen i certainly enjoyed it and will recommend it to any kid/kid at heart who likes scifi!
