REVIEW
The five-year-olds in the audience seemed to be enjoying the non-stop action but the rest of us were waiting for the fun part: it never came. It is not unreasonable to expect some levity in an animated cartoon movie, especially the double-entendre-type of jokes intended for the adults. But no such luck.
The only creature with any sort of personality is a blue blob and it offers the only chuckle in the movie. So disappointing; how sad.
CLASSIFICATION
for sci-fi action, some crude humor and mild language.
