Feel-good but not cloying, zippy but not frenetic, and refreshingly free of snark, the default setting for a lot of kids' fare these days, the feature takes a pleasingly retro-futuristic stance on matters of décor and attitude. Read full review

Unlike say, “Doogal” or “Hoodwinked 2,” at least you won’t want to gouge your eyes out after this one. Read full review

The picture has enough entertainment value to tickle its target audience and even offers a few chuckles for accompanying adults. A strong cast and bright -- if uninspired — animation help to offset a thin story. Read full review

Colorful as the 3-D aliens-among-us comedy is to look at, though, Corddry is handed a role that’s beige as can be, and so are his castmates. Read full review

A lightweight, warp-speed, brightly colored trifle. Read full review

The late Douglas Adams summed up Earth as “mostly harmless,” a description that also applies to this eminently tolerable animated time-filler. Read full review

This movie is a mess: It keeps doubling back on itself – a twisting pretzel of a plot that doesn’t really make sense. Read full review

This is a wonderful family movie for the family. My children were glued to the television screen. As an adult I very much enjoyed the movie as well. It had us laughing through the whole movie.

This really kicks the crap out of Planet 51. It's a mega animated movie, and it's totally epic. It digs deep into the mines and collects diamond and redstone. It is such a treasure to keep.

Escape From Planet Earth is a guilty pleasure of mine. But it would be more than biased to upgrade this movie because I just love it. With all honesty, it is a 7eleven commercial at times. Despite having its moments, it is cliched and very predictable yet it is a guilty pleasure of mine thatEscape From Planet Earth is a guilty pleasure of mine.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ayyyy dios... Bueno, es que.. Ósea, qué?! No tengo mucho que decir de esto, algunos personajes son planos y algo aburridos, no parecen tener mucha personalidad (excepto gary) los alienigenas del área 51 apenas me agradan, no dan risa, pero no irritan mucho... La animación está bien, a pesar de que la película sea de bajo presupuesto, con 40 millones de dólares puedes hacer animación decente. La banda sonora es poco memorable, no llegas a recordar ninguna pista o música en algún momento. También la comedia es estupida, ninguno de los chistes da risa, están mal ejecutados, el único chiste que me dio risa fue en la guerra de comida, cuando unos tipos del área 51 veian la pelea, pero la cámara estaba en blanco y negro, y no tenía audio, y uno de ellos empezó a tocar el piano como si fuera un cortometraje de los 40's. Pero todos los chistes son mierda... La ejecución de la película es bastante rara. Cuando pasa una escena, pasa rápidamente a otra, siendo esta muy apresurada, al hermano de gary lo secuestran a los 20 minutos de haber empezado la película, dando como se puso muy apresurado la película, aparte que cuando pasa una escena, con los mismos u otros personajes en otro escenario, parece como si fuera otra película, o algo así..

Bueno, esta película no la odio, y me parece un poco mala, al menos, tengo 12 años, y esta es otra de esas películas que no me gustan, como que este tipo de películas tiene un "toque que no me agrada" por así decirlo... En conclusión, escape from planet earth es una pelicula, un tanto pasable como mediocre...… Expand

It could have been much worse but what director Cal Brunker does is bad enough; craft an unfunny, unequal and weak bore fest. All jokes felt recycled, a plot thinner than paper, a twist so unbelievably predictable and dialogue so unfunny and lame. That being said, it was fairly entertaining.

Boring, unroginal, and basic bullsh*t that deserves much lower than a 5.4. The story is frustratingly predictable, the animation is unremarkable, and the characters are some of the most one dimensional tropes ever! JUST AVOID THIS!
