![]() Where Escape from Planet Earth falls down is in the script and story. Sarah Jessica Parker is sweet and benevolent and Ricky Gervais is admirably more restrained than usual and amusing in how sarcastic he is but neither have a huge amount to do, though both are still good.īut Jessica Alba is bland, doing very little with her role and Jane Lynch and especially George Lopez are irritating. Not all the voice cast are entirely successful, commendable on all counts but not everyone makes an impression. Rob Corddry is appealingly geeky as his brother, and William Shatner seems to be having fun as the villain. Brendan Fraser's voice acting is spot on and he is cast perfectly as the lead character Scorch, there is a touch of arrogance about him but he's also kindly and heroic. Aaron Zigman's score has a strong amount of energy and compliments things very well, the songs are not quite as well-placed-some feel thrown in- but they are also catchy, Shooting Star is a very nice song. What was good about Escape from Planet Earth? The best thing was the animation which was beautiful and really quite fantastic, the backgrounds and textures are bright and rich and the 7-Eleven is rendered beautifully. And of the animated films seen so far from this year, Escape from Planet Earth is the second weakest(the disappointingly awful My Little Pony: Equestria Girls was the worst, coming from someone who loves the Friendship is Magic show), Epic was decent if lacking, The Croods and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 2 were very good and Despicable Me 2 and Monsters University were outstanding. It wasn't a terrible film, just forgettable and got a very mixed view from me. Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird 5 / 10 The visuals are beautiful, as a whole the film is forgettableĮscape from Planet Earth had a good voice cast going for it and looked as if it would be moderately entertaining. This film is an 89 minute promo for the 7-11 Big Gulp. This rates down there with "Frankenweenie". On a kids scale, "Wreak-It-Ralph" is far better. It is a movie the kids should enjoy and one you will get bored with about the time of the alien food fight. In one scene you hear someone yelling "James! Cameron!" Something you might expect in a film with blue aliens. ![]() The film missed its mark at creating a satire of other films. Nerdy Gary sets out to rescue Scorch and the other aliens from a diabolical human. It is a trap and Scorch gets captured in Area 51 with the other missing aliens. It gets its name because aliens go there and never return. Scorch's latest mission is to go to "The Dark Planet" (Earth). James Bing, a take off on the name James Bond and not James Blish as I had hoped. His brother Gary (Rob Corddry) is the brains of the two and monitors Scorch in mission control with the help of his computer Mr. Scorch (Brendan Fraser) is a muscle headed alien action hero astronaut. ![]() Reviewed by nogodnomasters 7 / 10 TIME TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH ![]()
