Plot: An American astronaut lands on an inhabited planet where the aliens resemble 1950’s Americans. Once he lands, he needs the help of Lem (Long) to hide from the alien army that wants to dissect his brain.
Who’S It For? Kids. Though there are a lot of jokes aimed at adults that will go right over most children’s heads.
Expectations: Not high, the premise seemed kind of like it hinges on one joke, based on the trailer.
Scorecard (0-10)
Actors:
Dwayne Johnson as Captain Charles T. Baker: The Rock continues his assault on children’s movies with this role as the handsome, charismatic, and slightly dim astronaut, Charles Baker. Johnson’s voice is a great fit for this vain,...

I went into Planet 51 short on expectation, due to my history with animated features. Let’s face it, generally they are dumbed down to the point where they’re condescending to kids and hard to enjoy for adults. I’m pleased to report, though, that Planet 51 is a bit of an exception.

A look at animated movie "Planet 51" has been shared through a new clip. Unlike previously released snippets which give a lot of portion to Captain Charles "Chuck" Baker, this footage highlights Professer Kripple who wants to show his psychic ability in front of other characters, including Chuck.
Planet 51 is a place where "life is simple, children are carefree and everything is pleasant". Thinking that he is the first person who sets foot on it, Nasa astronaut Chuck is surprised when finding out the planet is already inhabited by little green people. Chuck's existence freaks out the local inhabitants who think he is an alien.
There, Chuck somehow befriends one of the planet's inhabitants named Lem. With the help of his new friend and his robot companion "Rover", he must now find a way out of Planet 51 before he is made into a permanent part of the planet's Alien Invaders Space Museum.

You have Jessica Biel in a movie and it’s just her voice? What a waste. Oh well, at least there are some funny bits in this first trailer for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s latest kiddie movie, the CG flick “Planet 51″. The movie sees Johnson playing an astronaut who lands on an alien planet. It’s basically a 1950s comedy, except we’re the aliens and the aliens are us. Get it? Anyways, first trailer for the film below. The inhabitants of Planet 51 live in fear of alien invasion. Their paranoia is realized when an astronaut arrives from Earth. Befriended by a young resident, he has to avoid capture in order to recover his spaceship and try to return home. Starring the voice talents of Dwayne Johnson, Seann William Scott, Jessica Biel, Justin Long, Gary Oldman, John Cleese, and Rupert Degas. Directed by the trio of Jorge Blanco,...
