Salt Lake Tribune Review


Somewhere, the animators from Spain who made this computer-animated muddle had some interesting ideas in -- a fond send-up of '50s monster movies, and maybe a subtle commentary about the dangers of xenophobia. But the story itself, about an arrogant American astronaut (voiced by Dwayne "Don't Call Me 'The Rock' " Johnson) landing on a planet whose green-skinned residents believe him to be a brain-eating monster, is weakly conceived and doesn't sustain a feature-length movie. The remaining voice cast (led by Justin Long and Jessica Biel) is dishwater-dull, with the only laughs coming from John Cleese's paranoia-inducing scientist.

-- Sean P. Means
