Monsters vs. Aliens

 (2009)

Action | Animation | Sci-Fi



When California girl Susan Murphy is unwittingly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk on her wedding day, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall. Alerted to the threat of this new monster, the military jumps into action and Susan is captured and secreted away to a covert government compound. There, she is renamed Ginormica and placed in confinement with a ragtag group of other monsters: the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.; the macho half-ape, half-fish The Missing Link; the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B.; and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement is cut short, however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and begins storming the country. In a moment of desperation, The President is persuaded by General W.R. Monger to enlist the motley crew of Monsters to combat the Alien Robot and save the world from imminent destruction.

Monsters vs. Aliens Blu-ray, Video Quality

  n/a


Monsters vs. Aliens mutates onto Blu-ray with a breathtaking 1080p, 2.39:1-framed transfer. Aside from some obvious banding throughout and the disappointing lack of a 3D presentation, there's nothing negative to say about this image. Colors are rich and beautiful, bright and lively. From Ginormica's white hair to the burnt orange color of the Golden Gate Bridge, every hue appears accurate, bright, and well-balanced on-screen; no shade ever becomes lost in the shuffle or suffers as a result of shifting lighting conditions. As expected of a brand-new digitally-animated feature, the intricate level of fine detail seen throughout Monsters vs. Aliens is extraordinary. Insectosaurus' hairs in particular impress; not only is the coloring wonderful, but there's a flow and a sense of individuality from one strand to the next. The image also reveals fine pores and freckles on character's faces, the rough texture of paved streets, and plenty of nicks, scratches, dents, and other imperfections on the alien probe's body. Though it seems almost routine that these digitally animated productions translate exceptionally well to Blu-ray, they never fail to impress, and Monsters vs. Aliens continues in that tradition, and this is one disc that's sure to impress for years to come.


Monsters vs. Aliens Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  Array of 5


Monsters vs. Aliens lands on Blu-ray with a reference-quality Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless soundtrack. While the track's more mundane segments -- particularly its pre-Ginormica opening sequence -- offer little to capture listeners' attentions, the film's more action-oriented segments deliver can't-miss, demo-worthy sonic goodness. The track does well to create a realistic sense of space; wedding chapel doors open towards either side of the soundstage in one early scene, and the resultant creaks flow effortlessly from the middle out to the front right and left ends of the soundtrack. Again, it's the little touches that truly mark a great soundtrack, and such nuances are included here in spades. Of course, it's the action scenes that will have listeners' heads spinning. There's no single moment that stands above the crowd; every such scene is equally intense, and the track delivers a full-fledged surround-sound extravaganza that fully realizes the sense of space during each action scene. Sounds aren't just haphazardly thrown into the back channels; this is a seamless presentation, and Monsters vs. Aliens fully engulfs its audience into its superbly-mixed soundtrack. The low end rumbles throughout but never overpowers any single sound effect. Each action scene is a pleasure, and rounded out by the expected pitch-perfect dialogue reproduction, Monsters vs. Aliens makes for a reference-quality soundtrack that the entire family can enjoy.
