In a small town, an oil company is drilling for oil. The geologist, Dowd, informs his boss, Tenneson that they detected what could be an ecosystem which could affect their drilling rights. But Tenneson tells them to go on and something happens. Something came out and Tenneson wants to keep it quiet by keeping what came out on ice. In the town, something's been taking the fuel tanks off vehicles, leaving a big hole. Tripp, who lives in the town is frustrated at his life, specifically not having a vehicle of his own. He works at a scrap yard and he's been working on restoring an old truck. One day he thinks he hears something and traps it in the storage pit. He calls the Sheriff who's his step-father, whom he doesn't like. And when he gets there, it's gone. Later he sets a trap for it and sees it's a slug like creature who feeds on oil. He would bond with it. Later a man from the oil company shows up at the yard and asks him about the thing he reported earlier. Tripp feigns it was mistaken but the guy doesn't believe him. The creature enters the chassis of the truck he was working on and makes it move. He then gets in the truck and it goes off on it's own and he tries to figure out what to do.
Leave your thoughts about Monster Trucks.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfDeathly dull, scripted in Crayon, and strangely cast, hoping the central visual of a monster positioned as the engine of a truck is enough to forgive all moviemaking sins the production commits. |
| Cleveland Plain DealerJulie WashingtonMediocre acting and writing keep Monster Trucks in the so-so zone. |
| El Nuevo Herald (Miami)Pilar AyusoA film without a narrative sufficiently seductive leaving us with just an unidentified creature and a handsome guy who builds monster trucks. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Willamette WeekIsabel ZachariasNarratively, the story is dumbly predictable, but some choices made in its telling are fresh. |
| Contactmusic.comRich ClineThe continual chase sequences are wildly amusing as they include quite a lot of gravity defying driving and wanton destruction. |
| AllMovieViolet LeVoit"If all of this sounds as stupid as Snakes on a Plane, then the joke's on you, because Monster Trucks is actually great fun . . ." |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumChris BumbrayNot as bad as it looks. A harmless, fast-paced kids flick. |
| Gwinnett Daily Post (GA)Khari J. SampsonDespite all the silliness, I began to get used to the ride. |
| The Herald (Scotland)Alison RowatAction-packed and big-hearted, a safe Christmas family outing movie pick. |
| Flicks.co.nzAdam FrescoDumb? Hell yeah. Fun for kids and pre-teens? Hell yeah, again. |
