I saw this movie when I was travelling to New York on a plane and I really enjoyed the movie. This movie was absolutely fun especially with when the alien was fixing the chase scene. The acting was good. This film is definitely no Dragon Ball evolution. The CGI was very awesome and the story was cleaver. Overall very fun.

Several months passed since we watched this, only 3 years old boy somehow remembers the monster truck, the rest of kids never discussed it, what I see is quite bad for such a budget.

The story is fun, implausible, but as far as sci-fi storytelling goes, it's entertaining enough to deserve a certain amount of suspension of disbelief. The acting is good, with likable characters. The creatures/CGI are pretty great, and it's definitely a good family flick. This is an overall great ride!

The rest pretty much speaks for itself.This is a modern film with great effects and acting; but, saying that, it takes a very classic approach. This could easily be mistaken for "Karate Kid" or "Free Willy" in another guise.The well worn footpaths are used to great affect - there are even some montages to cheesy rock music.The characters are templated from other movies, the love interest is particularly predictable. The bad guys are an evil petroleum firm that will stop at nothing to capture the ultra-cute creature.All this familiarity means that that the film doesn't have to waste time explaining what's going on - we already know.This is a solid family movie with dashes of action, comedy, romance, and heart warming moments. It is aimed at keeping the kids quiet, don't expect sharp adult humour woven amongst the bright, fast moving scenes. It does exactly what it to set out to do, so I have to commend all involved for that.
