PLANET 51 (Theatrical Release Spain 2009)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.6|5.0 Starsììì

Planet 51 is a solid 3.6 star movie. The graphics and computer animation are superb. It’s a really good movie for every audience—good enough to make this critic anxious to see more of Director Jorge Blanco and Co-Directors Javier Abad and Marcos Martinez’s works.
