    My 3 year old liked it okay

    by genny92

    It was just okay. There's not a lot of choices lately for the tot crowd so it was nice to have something to take her to see. But the storyline wasn't terribly unique or gripping. There were a few funny bits aimed at us adults who are familiar with the myths surrounding alien landings. But none of the characters were really loveable and the bad guy was so over the top bad, well it was just silly.

    Boring, not funny, good graphics

    It wasn't bad, a few chuckles but not one laugh. Save it for rental.

    Meh

    Tired dialogue and contrived bits make this a "something to do with the kids" type movie at best. Frankly, if I could do it over again I'd just wait to see it on Amazon Instant Videos for free or maybe pay a $2 rental fee....and its barely worth that. But the kids were amused and I've seen worse movies.

    Escape from Planet Earth

    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.

    Great for Kids & Grown-ups!

    Enjoyable for all ages. Parents, this is a great movie for little kids, but you'll also enjoy a lot the humor as well. Very touching story.

    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.

    Escape From Planet Earth

    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

    Not bad

    This movie wasn't spectacular but still enjoyable. My 4 year old was asking me when it would be over about 30 min before the end. My 5 year old seemed to enjoy it enough. The 2 10 yo boys I took loved it. Probably best for 7-12 year olds.

    Escape Fom Planet Earth

    Overall good 'kid-flick' without insulting the intelligence. Good fun, and good to hear some familiar voices. Includes a recognition of some of us 'old-timers' by having a nod to the Beatles.
    Clean, funny, tried-and-true plot with a new twist.
    Might be worth saving the theatre money and simply buying it when it comes out.

    Escape From PlanetEarth

    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

    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'.

    Fun movie

    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.

    Good Matinee movie

    by mpasaa

    What you would expect from a kids movie. Started out a bit slow BUT quickly the action started and the kids we were with got into it. One even commented--"hey, this movie is starting to get good now" and this coming from a 7 year old is about as objective as you get. It's worth it but I would still opt for a cheap showing...a little too pricey for prime time shows if you ask me. Not as good as Monster's Inc or Toy story of course but those were pretty solid shows...hard to match.

    The grandson loved it!

    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.
