Movie Summary:
On her wedding day, young Susan Murphy is hit by a meteor from outer space and suddenly grows to 49 feet tall.  She is taken from the military to a top-secret facility where monsters are kept safe from the outside world.  There Susan meets the Jello-like blob B.O.B, Dr. Cockroach, an inventive mad scientist with a cockroach's head, The Missing Link, a half-fish, half-ape, and Insectosaurus, a gigantic bug.  Unexpectedly, an enormous and powerful robot crash lands on Earth, controlled by an evil alien named Gallaxhar who seeks world domination (as usual).   The President of the United States turns to General W.R Monger for a plan to save the planet.  As the robot wrecks havoc in the big city, General W.R Monger comes up with a plan to release the team of monsters to go face-to-face against the robot in the ultimate battle for peace.  Susan, B.O.B, The Missing Link, Dr. Cockroach, and Insectosaurus team together in a desperate struggle against Gallaxhar and his giant robot to save the planet Earth from ultimate destruction. 

Despite its cheesiness, “Monsters vs. Aliens” is still a good movie, with some funny scenes, great visuals and some impressive action sequences.  

Run for your life!...to the theater, that is...to see "Monsters vs. Aliens"!
