SJ Reviews: 'Monsters vs Aliens 3D'..spend the money and see 3D version (3)

[SouthernJet]

I took my 88 year old Mom to see this. She has early Alzheimer's so its difficult to pick flicks that she can follow.

The premise is that the monsters from the 50's sci-fi flicks (renamed for copyright reasons I assume), The Blob, Creature from Black Lagoon etc . that are now improisoned in a Government facility to 'protect' Earth.

Enter a alien attack force and voila, we need the Monsters to save Earth.

Its very cute, and great special effects form a 3D POV.

My Mom hadnt seen a real full 3D movie and was thrilled and enjoyed.

This is obviously more a movie to bring the kids/grandkids, but there is something for everyone. Spend the few extra bucks and see it in 3D...

Borgoboy is off from school this week, so I'm taking him to see this flick. Our paper gave it a B+.

I saw this one last night. Very cool flick.

Not necessarily for very young kids, but I would imagine 8 and up would be fine. 3D technology has come a long way since Jaws 3D.

Damn, looks like you were a busy guy this weekend SJ. I thought I was doing good seeing two movies.

What did you think wouldn't be okay for younger kids? My 3 year old wouldn't leave the theater and was asking to watch it again. My 7 year old wasn't overly impressed.

I guess I'm out of touch with little kids. Which is a good thing.

There were some death issues and some violence. Maybe I'm just being too protective of my niece and nephew.

I think it was pretty kid freindly,, no issues..unless parents have kids so scared of everything to begin with..most well rounded kids wil lsee it for what it is

I would agree.

I liked it as did my 12yo.
