Blu-ray Reviews of Monsters vs. Aliens [Blu-ray]
Blu-ray Review: Another great movie from Dreamworks!
Summary: 4 Stars
I was a little bit reluctant to get this as the premise of the movie did not seem too appealing for me, however, after reading good reviews and having a couple friends of mine recommend it, I decided to get it, and I can say I do not regret getting it!
As with other computer animated films, 'Monsters vs. Aliens' looks great in high definition. I had the opportunity to watch the DVD version and the difference in picture quality when compared to the BD is huge! Presented in its original aspect ratio and in 1080p, the movie is a visual feast. The color and detail in the sequences that take place in Gallaxhar's ship as well as the simplest scenes in which the monsters party by a swimming pool look clear and bright.
The story is quite original and the movie has its moments, while it is not at the level of say, a Pixar film, it entertains and my kid loved it. There are good jokes throughout the film as well as tributes to the old movies from which they based the characters on (also look for references for Sci-Fi and horror movies) The voice acting is also a great, Reese Witherspoon, Hugh Laurie , Seth Rogen, all of them do a great work, also it was fun to listen to Kiefer Sutherland as General W.R. Monger (it was hard not to think of Jack Bauer though) Stephen Colbert is without a doubt one of the funniest voices (and characters) in the movie as the president. Audio is presented in English 5.1 Dolby TrueHD and also included are Spanish/French tracks in Dolby Digital 5.1
The movie definitely has enough material for a sequel, we have yet to see if this was a one movie project only (like the incredible Bee Movie [Blu-ray]) or a setup for a new franchise like Madagascar [Blu-ray] was.
All extras are presented in HD, and some of the ones included are:
* 'Bob's big break', a short story with the monsters which occurs years before the actual story in the movie, presented in 2D and 3D with 3D glasses included
* BD exclusives
- Animator's corner
- Trivia track (with fun facts appearing on screen quite similar to the feature found in 'Bee Movie')
- Audio commentary
- Monster movie making
- Tech of Monsters vs. Aliens
- Deleted scenes
- Karaoke, with the main characters singing (it isn't really that good)
- Trailers - Several trailers for other productions are included, even one for 'Shrek the musical'
Description of Monsters vs. Aliens [Blu-ray]
When Susan Murphy (Reese Witherspoon) is unexpectedly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall and is instantly labeled a ?Monster? named Ginormica. The military jumps into action, and she is captured by General W.R. Monger (Kiefer Sutherland) and held in a secret government compound filled with other ?monsters? like herself. This ragtag group consists of the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach P.H.D. (Hugh Laurie); the macho half-ape-half-fish The Missing Link (Will Arnett); the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B. (Seth Rogen); and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement time is cut short however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and the motley crew of Monsters is called into action to save the world from imminent destruction.
B.O.B.?S BIG BREAK
B.O.B. (Seth Rogen) and his monstrous crew are on a mission to bust out of Area 52, the government?s top-secret holding cell. Led by mad-scientist Dr. Cockroach P.H.D. (Hugh Laurie) and macho amphibian The Missing Link (Will Arnett), the trio outwits grizzled General W.R. Monger (Kiefer Sutherland) to make a triumphant escape?almost.
