Plot Summary for
Planet 51 (2009)
Lem is just an average teenager working on getting the girl and furthering his career at the local planetarium – except that he’s an alien. At least to U.S. astronaut Captain Charles T. Baker who lands on Lem’s planet hoping for a quick flag plant and a hasty return to earth and his millions of screaming fans. But on this alien planet the media has tagged spacemen as brain-eating, zombie-creating monsters, causing Baker to run for his life and into Lem’s house. Now it’s up to the green native to get the clumsy astronaut back to his spaceship before military dictator General Grawl and mad scientist Professor Kipple manage to exterminate the Earthly visitor.
4 Stars out of 5!
I loved this movie, it was really funny. The “alter” world that was the aliens home planet was very cool. My favorite character was the dog. It was an “Alien” puppy, with the tongue mouth, and the acid “pee”. It was a classic use of the cameo.
The characters were funny as well from the comic store working best friend to the cute next door neighbors daughter who the lead character was afraid to talk to.
The astronaunt was well written too. Mostly into the space program for the chics at first, he later comes into his own and becomes the guy with the “Right Stuff”.
I would recommend this for kids from 7 and up because of the theme and the inter-movie jokes.
Enjoy!
