Ash! Real (3d) monsters

So I'm back...my *cough* hectic lifestyle has prevented me from blogging.

Also all ive watched for about two months has been Battlestar Galactica.

3D is back and it's no longer red and blue. It's now grey and blurry. And fantastic!

Monsters vs aliens is the first film I've seen in tru3D and it won't be the last. And I won't just ban obaviyt the 3D because it's an awesome film to boot. It's a cgi comedy about a team of imprisoned monsters who are called upon to defend earth against an alien threat. Among them are a blue brainless blob named Bob (Seth Rogan), a mutated cockroach genius (Hugh Laurie) and a 50-foot woman (Reece Witherspoon). The 5 monsters together bounce off each other excellently and constantly provide laughs. Backed up by a dimwit president and cliché army general, belly laughs come from all the characters quick and often. And unlike many childrens cgi movies (excluding pixar) it's not thin on adult material. It's nature being based on classic horror monsters means referential puns and set pieces provide a platform for adult enjoyment, as well as a few tit jokes. There's no cheesy love story, in fact it's very 'bros before hos' in it's morals.

I would recommend it to everyone, especially in 3D (there is nothig more satisfying than seeing a cinema full of people dodge a meteor), although there aren't many sequences that require 3D enhancement but it's alot of fun and worth the extra pound!
