Monsters vs. Aliens
« on: Sep 05, 2009 at 02:00 PM »



The “laugh-out-loud funny” (“Access Hollywood”) adventure featuring the “funniest animated action stars ever” (Westwood One) prepares to take over the planet when DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc.’s worldwide sensation.
 
MONSTERS VS. ALIENS arrives on Earth on VCD, DVD and Blu-ray September 29, 2009.   One of the highest-grossing films of the year, “the year’s coolest comedy” (“Sixty Second Preview”) delighted kids and parents alike with its uproarious story and unforgettable characters.  Now, for the first time ever, DreamWorks Animation has created a spectacular 3D companion story to continue the excitement and fun of the theatrical film.  The Ginormous Double DVD Pack and Blu-ray both feature the world premiere of B.O.B.’S BIG BREAK, an all-new 3D adventure starring everyone’s favorite gelatinous hero and featuring the voice talents of Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogen, Hugh Laurie, Will Arnett and Kiefer Sutherland

The Ginormous Double DVD Pack and Blu-ray each include four pair of 3D glasses and have even more of what audiences loved with an all-new interactive game in 3D, three all-new music videos, three never-before-seen deleted scenes, a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film, filmmaker commentary and hours of activities, such as the Creature Feature Fun Factory and much, much more.  Additionally, the Blu-ray boasts an exclusive Animators’ Corner and Trivia Track so viewers can learn everything they want to know about the characters and story.  With something for the whole family to enjoy, the Double DVD Pack is the year’s best entertainment value. The film also will be available on a single-disc DVD.

MONSTERS VS. ALIENS  tells the story of Susan Murphy (Reese Witherspoon) who is unexpectedly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk and mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall. When the military jumps into action, she is captured by General W.R. Monger (Sutherland) and held in a secret government compound filled with other “monsters” like herself. This ragtag group consists of the brilliant but insect-headed
Dr. Cockroach P.H.D. (Laurie); the macho half-ape-half-fish The Missing Link
(Arnett); the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B. (Rogen); and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus.  Their confinement time is cut short however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and the motley crew of Monsters is called into action to save the world from imminent destruction.

B.O.B.’S BIG BREAK features B.O.B. (Rogen) and his monstrous crew are on a mission to bust out of Area 52, the government’s top-secret holding cell.  Led by mad-scientist Dr. Cockroach P.H.D. (Laurie) and macho amphibian The Missing Link (Arnett), the trio outwits grizzled General W.R. Monger (Sutherland) to make a triumphant escape…almost.

MONSTERS VS. ALIENS is coming to VCDs, DVDs, and Blu Ray this September from Magnavision Home Video.

DVD rant: Fun film. Would have been better if it had been in 3D.  I haven't seen this in theaters, but many of the effects were clearly meant to be seen in 3D.  Why would Dreamworks release the bonus film (Bob's Big Break) on 3D but not the main film is beyond me.  While it's true that those red and green glasses would not be at par with the newer 3D technology employed in theaters, it is better than standard 2D.  If a low grossing film like Coraline included the 3D version on it's DVD, it's disappointing to see Dreamworks or Disney skipping the 3D versions on their DVDs.  It's almost like they are keeping the 3D version for another day (ie for us to double dip).

Shame on Dreamworks and Disney (as Bolt and Up are also 2D only on DVD).

Kudos to Magnavision (It's not their fault) for releasing Bob's Big Break as a bundle option, which they didn't do with Kung Fu Panda/Secrets of the Furious Five.
Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God.

If you like Pixar films, this is another finely made animation that's quite fun and enjoyable to watch.

Thanks, nice to hear from old chaps.  Just thought I revisit the forum after kicking the DVD collecting habit.
