Holy 3D Jesus: Monsters Vs Aliens!

I can't remember the last time I felt like a kid in a movie. You remember the feeling, don't you? Watching something that blew your brain, knowing that you were having so much fun you wanted to jump, laugh and even throw popcorn to strangers? Well, I'd like to say thank you to Dreamworks, because for a couple of hours, I was a four year old again.

WHAT A GREAT 3D MOVIE! Monsters vs Aliens is proof that Dreamworks can almost achieve Pixar greatness, if they only try. And boy, did they deliver. The story is very very funny, the voices are priceless. How good? Let me give you the actor list and you be the judge: Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogen, Hugh Laurie, Will Arnett, Keifer Sutherland, Rainn Wilson, Paul Rudd and Stephen Colbert. Yeah, that's how great the voices are.

If you are not laughing 15 minutes in the film... well... um... maybe you're not human. There are SOOOOO MANY pop culture references in this film, punchlines galore (adult ones, thank God)... the set and costume designs RULE but most of all: the 3D! WHOA! 15 seconds into the film you think... damn this movie cannot be seen if it's not in this way. Please, I beg of you, if you can look for a Dolby 3D theater, do it.

For me, it will be very difficult to return to animated flicks without it. This was THE way to watch an animated movie, by far. Oh and for you Colbert Nation fans, there is a very nice touch that you will love.

Is this movie better than any Pixar movie? Ok, it doesn't have that special flare that movies like Toy Story, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles had. Those people SURE know how to make movies for families in general, most of all not leaving parents behind. Pixar always gets to hit your sentimental bone while you are laughing your butt silly. But still, I cannot deny that this is far better that what they did before. Spinal Tap mode: It goes to eleven.

So, pack your popcorn and get the kids out. Put your 3D glasses on and remember me when you are jumping in your seat while you return to your childhood. Enjoy...

PS: Don't mind the bad reviews. This is just a fun movie. No Oscar nomination are needed, honestly. I mean... come on, at the end of the day, it's just a flick for kids. You hear me you Slumdog Millionare loving critics out there? For. Kids.
