    Escape From Planet Earth

    by 4Ceci17Ana23

    I liked the film. Decent, clean and funny. Cinematography, acting and directing was great. A good movie for adults and children alike. No complaints and my guess left with a new thought about family values. Thanks

    Escape From PlanetEarth

    by Gabriel_Guardian_Angel

    This is a fantastic film for the whole family. It shows how families operate, sometimes disagree but in the long run stick together through thick and thin! We loved and I recommend it highly!

    Escape from Planet Earth

    by vivien scott

    Formulaic. A mishmash of Monsters, Inc. Monsters vs. Aliens, etc. Jokes on directors names probably went over all but the most astute viewers. This is an older kid's movie...too scary for the under 6 group.

    Just okay

    by KermitJagger

    My seven year old son liked it well enough, but I felt the movie was rushed with very little character development to speak of. But the movie wasn't made for me. Kids seem to enjoy it, but I think this one would be better for home viewing.

    Fun, funny, exciting for the whole family

    by Godfather_lover

    Brought my 4 y/o daughter and 6 y/o son, we all enjoyed it. Some nice references that only adults would get, which were funny but not inappropriate.

    Cool movie, keeps you interested!

    by Just_DBJ

    Obviously great for kids, but very interesting and funny for the adults. It's funny how different age groups experience something else when watching the same film. All good things in this little movie though. :D

    Fun movie

    by RowdyBurns

    Slow, unfunny start had me wishing I could escape the theater, but ended up being a surprisingly good movie. Step-daughter liked it. Adults liked it. Fun characters. Fun movie.

    ehhh

    by dc7223

    Nothing too special about the this movie. The only chuckles from the audience came during a few sight gag moments.

    The dialogue lacked any significant wit or charm. This is a rental.

    Escape from planet Earth

    by heidi9005

    It was your typical good guys vs. bad guys movie. Which I am not a very big fan of, all cartoon movies seem to be like this. There were some funny parts and the some of the graphics were impressive. I think it was okay. My seven old said 'it was good, kind...little too much drama'.

    The grandson loved it!

    by MovieGammie

    This was a great kid's movie, funny, exciting, and with a focus on family. About a family of aliens and how they interact with each other in their lives, it has a sweet story that helps kids to understand how each person is a valuable contributor in each family. It is very action packed, and while I would not call it scary, I would say that there are some parts where really young children might get frightened. Kind of like the old ET movie, I remember my nephew slowly and quietly sneaking onto my lap when ET was in the backyard of the kids' home! He was three years old then. My eight year old grandson had no problems at all. He loved the Scorch character (voice of Brendan Fraser), and I particularly liked the character of Kip. Overall, it was great. At a time when almost every movie at the theater is rated R and packed full of bad language and overt sex, it's good to have something normal to watch.

    escape to planet earth

    by flickergrand

    This is a brainless film, almost entirely lacking in imagination, It's so derivative but without adding anything to its sources. The adult wisecracking over the heads of kids is lame, stale and predictable. Everything about this film is formulaic. And the endless violence is offensive, since this film is being marketed to young children. The family relationships are shallow. The humiliation between silblings, while "resolved" at the end, falls short of any true emotional understanding. As grandparents, we have seen many children's films with our grandkids. Our 8-year old granddaughter said she "liked" the film, but she said not a word about it afterwards, a sure sign that it meant nothing to her. The creative team at Dreamworks has done, and I'm sure can do, better.

    Good for kids...

    by babysydney

    My 8 year olds enjoyed Escape From Planet Earth and actually so did I. It was cute, had a good storyline, not a lot of adult humor, and a good voice cast. We recommend it!

    Escape from Planet Earth

    by leslieshanks

    I took 4 kids aged 7-12 and we all really liked the movie. I appreciated that there was nothing particularly "dark" in the movie since most movies run rampant with evil. Even the older boys were good with a little less violence and little more humor. Very cute and enjoyable for all!

    Good but not great

    by Mehlsky

    Some great voice performances (Brendan Fraser, Sarah Jessica Parker and especially William Shatner)graced this animated film, but the story was not all that hot. My nine-year-old granddaughter was bored well before the end.

    Entertaining for both kids and adults

    by uso099

    Has an all star cast and is very entertaining for all ages. I found myself laughing more than my nieces and nephews. I'm going to see it again with my kids and have no problem doing so.
