What if there are creatures living on other planets in other galaxies? And what if those creatures are a lot like us? When American astronaut Chuck Baker (Dwayne Johnson) lands on what's supposed to be barren, rocky planet devoid of life, he gets a big surprise. It seems that Planet 51 is home to little green people who are living in what's basically 1950s Americana--or should that be 1950s Alieana? Chuck bears a marked resemblance to Planet 51's science-fiction comic book and horror movie characters the "Humaniacs," and hysteria breaks out because the little green men think his appearance marks the beginning of an alien invasion. Lem (Justin Long) is a junior curator at the local planetarium and one of the only people on the planet who is awed, rather than frightened, by the concept of a larger universe. While his fellow citizens set out to capture the invading alien, Lem believes Chuck when he declares that his mission is peaceful, and Lem risks his own safety to help him return to his ship and his home planet. With a little help from Rover (an American robot probe that has been sending rock samples back to Earth while ignoring the planet's life forms), Lem's neighbor and secret crush Neera (Jessica Biel), his friend Skiff (Seann William Scott), and hippie protester Glar (Alan Marriott), Lem just might be able to save Chuck. The question is--what will the personal consequences be for Lem? The story is an amusing twist on America's long-standing fascination with the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and the film has plenty of comic moments, but it ultimately lacks suspense and fails to truly engage the viewer. The result is a film that provides some laughs but is ultimately not that entertaining. (Ages 7 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

This film is very much a parody of classic sci-fi/fantasy/adventure films even though the primary audience seems to be preteen and teen audiences. Nearly every scene has references to at least one if not several such films. Some of the more obvious references include "Aliens", "E.T. The Extraterrestrial", "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", "Battlestar Galactaca", "Star Wars", "2001: A Space Odyssey", "The Incredible Hulk" (or perhaps "Night of the Comet") and "The Day the Earth Stood Still". ...

Just a short review.
I love this movie. I can watch it over and over and over. It is fun!
Highly recommended if you like animation.

This is one of those movies where I felt the trailer was better then the movie itself. I mean the trailer got my attention and I wanted to watch this movie. It looked great and fun. But when we (family) saw the DVD, it was just `ok'. Nothing special. It's nice, has some good jokes, cute. Nice characters. I liked the little robot, Roofer.
It was `ok' to watch, but that's it. The kids were not really into it. They watched it, but there was no `spark'. Our 5 year old stopped watching after ... Read More

It is now 6-24-2010 - Ordered this DVD on 5-22-10 - Never
received. Good Quicks Books is now being investigated by
my credit card company to see who charged my card and never
delivered the product. Also submitted a claim to Amazon.
Buyer Beware - this shipper will not respond or send your
purchase. I emailed this shipper 5 times. I have to cross
Amazon off my list to purchase anything until I get my
money back. My trust is gone.

This probably hasn't gotten the recognition it deserves or it would have gotten more media coverage. It has an appeal for the whole family. The "baby boomers" will get the references to classic SciFi movies and the rest will get a kick out of the comedy and references to newer movies. The story revolves around an American astronaut that lands on a planet full of green aliens with antennae. They are living in a slightly different version of our 1950s. The rage at their theaters are space invasion movies ... Read More
