Format:DVD
A nice storyline, with some loveable characters (Rover!) and some interesting nods to other classic sci-fi films! Its overall a good film, nothing brilliant but entertaining nonetheless!

Format:Blu-ray
First class animation, entertaining story, lots of nice 'sci-fi movie' references (especially ET & Star Wars), good music and it's set in a 'alien' version of 1950's America - what's not to like. As a 40-something year old male I wasn't expecting much from this film but it really is very good and certainly not merely a 'kids' film (the various references to old movies and a few grown up jokes kept this relative oldie entertained). Perhaps it's not quite as 'cool' as Shrek! but in the privacy of my own front room (or the dark of the cinema!) who cares about that. If you are looking for a bit of escapism done in a style that would have been truly sci-fi when I was a kid (especially in Blu-Ray) then this is well worth a look.

Perhaps i didn't enjoy this because i'm not a kid anymore.. i dunno, i may be an 'adult' but i still love kids films, so i'll just tell you why i didn't enjoy this film as much as i felt i should.
Basically, the idea is great, it could have been amazing, it had potential. However it was just poorly done, the humor was average, but not funny enough to laugh out loud, the characters weren't that well developed and by the end of the film you struggle to remember it, even writing this now i have no idea which bits to refer to.
I would recommend this film for young children, they won't notice a bad storyline as i did, as a film to rent and watch as a family, it's ok, it'll pass the time, but it will be tedious for adults.
As for me, i wouldn't watch it again, though i do hope that in the future they make a film with the same premise as Planet 51, because like i said, it had potential, it could have been a truly awesome film.

Highly enjoyable
It may not be a Pixar blockbuster but there are plenty of sly jokes and 'homage' scenes for adults to enjoy. Read more

Mediocre, to be honest
The DVD cover for this Dreamworks animation proudly boasts 'from the makers of Shrek', but don't get too excited, all the two films really have in common are the colour green. Read more
