I SAID - First of all, I LOVE broccoli, doesn't everyone? I learned a few more quotes that I can use around the house now. The girl alien was really cool and she loves colour, in a graffiti kind of way.
SHE SAID - What can I say but wow! There were a lot of laughs throughout, great action, great story, but in the end, the real theme for this movie is LOVE and what a mother AND child will do to keep it.
The story even brought tears to my eyes at one point (thank goodness for 3D glasses to hide). I later admitted to my daughter who also teared up and she seemed quite relieved yet impressed at the same time.
If you notice how realistic the humans are, it's because they did motion capture using performance-capture suits, much like in The Lord of the Rings and The Polar Express movies. It gives much more realistic body and facial movements that regular animation has yet to conquer.
This is definitely the best-animated movie we've seen so far in '11. You will be entertained from start to finish.
To all Moms out there, if you are a disciplinarian with love, be proud. If you are the kind of mother that gives your child toys and treats just to make them happy, no worries, aliens will not abduct you!
Don't forget to stay during the end credits; it's quite educational and entertaining.
