Lem is just an average teenager working on getting the girl and furthering his career at the local planetarium - except that he's an alien. At least to U.S. astronaut Captain Charles T. Baker who lands on Lem's planet hoping for a quick flag plant and a hasty return to earth and his millions of screaming fans. But on this alien planet the media has tagged spacemen as brain-eating, zombie-creating monsters, causing Baker to run for his life and into Lem's house. Now it's up to the green native to get the clumsy astronaut back to his spaceship before military dictator General Grawl and mad scientist Professor Kipple manage to exterminate the Earthly visitor.
Leave your thoughts about Planet 51.
| Film4Anton BitelLike the alien town of Glipforg at its core, Planet 51 offers attractions that are just a little too familiar to take the viewer out of this world. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA movie so flat and derivative that it seems to have been cobbled together from other, better pictures. |
| Bangor Daily News (Maine)Christopher SmithIt's cute, it's passable, the animation is fine--but the major problem with the film is its predictability. |
| Entertainment WeeklyAdam MarkovitzDelivers a few pleasant surprises, including a smart story -- a reverse-E.T. riff that plops an American astronaut down in a world of just-like-us-only-green creatures -- and clever characters. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansThe story itself is weakly conceived and doesn't sustain a feature-length movie. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinIn terms of animation, Planet 51 is out of this world. Then there's the story and the characters, which are about as dull as a dirty penny. |
| Chicago ReaderCliff DoerksenThe script lacks wit, and the in-joke references to cinematic sci-fi classics will soar over little kids' heads without pleasing many adults. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowIt is a shame that a movie tweaking retro cliches falls into the white bread conventions itself, especially from a Madrid-based production company. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchA thin joke becomes attenuated to breaking point. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongMediocre, clunky and just so not special. |
