may just indicate that PR firms can plant negative as well as positive stuff. Sigh...I liked the story. It was ABOUT something- not just frenetic action to amuse 8 year-olds, and then with a few triple-entendres for the parents thrown in. It showed, or at least attempted to show, the potential social evil of any mass-enforced dogma. After all, dogma doesn't quite conform to, or support might be a better word, our natural tendencies. Perhaps the story was comparable to what George Orwell's "Animal Farm" scene might have been like 10 years after the book's ending. But maybe that's reading too much into it.The movie had the Martian women throwing away the make babies through a hole in the ground into a subterranean trash heap under the planet surface. The fervor of the sex-typed pogroms was played by Mindy Sterling, the fine actress who played Frau Farbissina in the Austin powers movies, and the hapless Iris in the great and under-appreciated "Drop Dead Gorgeous." . Her "Supervisor" dictator character was quick- tempered, ready to use lethal violence in support of her agenda, and she constantly screamed her shrill exhortations to the all-female Martian army to root out any and all males, and smash old-school feminine values such as motherhood. A bit of a shrew, with a machine gun.Maybe that's what set the haters off? Or maybe a Hollywood feud I know nothing about. or, maybe, the movie is not for everyone? At any rate I loved it, and am glad I went. I do not, however, think small children will like it. There is much genuine danger, and realistic peril the boy's mother allows herself to die in order to save her son of the type that can truly give a little kid nightmares. Mature kids will probably find it a thrilling and gripping story. They will likely appreciate being addressed as intelligent and sensitive people, too, and not just Pop-Tart eating zombies.

All in all I would recommend this movie. I just hate it hasn't done well in the box office. It really is good.

time, i found this animation in fact after samba.. i forgot the name of movie : interesting enough to hold us to the screen

this one.It's a good, honest movie that doesn't stand a chance because of gimmicky advertising and forgettable, in-your-face motion capture animation.Yes, I'm looking at you animated movie marketing.If you want to connect with your kids, see this movie. If you want to bond will your young son or daughter, see this movie. If you want to pay high admission prices for throwaway 3D specks on something you'll forget the second you walk out, be my guest. This movie is more emotionally potent then Toy Story 3 in my honest to goodness opinion. It just is; case closed. Up/How To Train Your Dragon and Moms Needs Moms are superior movie fare for kids today.

With the aid of a rogue Martian, Ki Elisabeth Harnois , the race is on to save Milo's mom before it is too late. Filmed with motion censor technology, the actors are thrust into their animated counterparts on screen delivering strong, heartfelt performances. The adaptation from book to screen is done in a graceful manner that promises one fun, thrilling adventure that is, I apologize for the corny joke, out of this world. While the 3D doesn't really add anything special to the film, director Simon Wells is able to keep the audience engaged in the fast-paced action and swift, comedic dialogue that inevitably makes for a really enjoyable movie experience.

at some parts, but in a good way.If you are a fan of science fiction, or of excellent graphics, go watch this movie with your kids. There is no bad language, and the very subtle drug references are very funny if you've been there at any point in your life. This movie deserves a much higher rating than is shown by these leftist reviewers. It is interesting that Disney showing a moral message would be so controversial. We live in very unusual times. Make today great!

stowed away on their ship , and a rebellious female Martian Elisabeth Harnois , Milo sets out to save his mother. A lot of viewers get stuck on the film's gender politics. I admit they do seem a little backward, especially with the shrill, feminist stand-in villain played by Mindy Sterling, whom you may remember as Frau Farbissina from the Austin Powers movies . However, I think that Ki, the Martian girl who helps Milo, is a positive enough female character that she should make up for the villain the remainder of the female Martians are more or less faceless soldiers . If you can get past that stuff, the film is actually a lot of fun. Simple and straightforward, but a lot of fun. It's fast paced and beautiful to look at thankfully, now that it's on video, you don't have to see the colors diminished in 3D , and it's very funny. Fogler and Harnois are both very good. Fogler's character, Gribble, is easily the best looking motion capture character I've ever seen. Gribble is an 80s kid and Ki has fallen in love with humanity after watching sitcoms about hippies, so they both talk in idioms from those eras, bugging modern kid Milo the whole time. I think most kids will love this movie, and it imparts a nice moral respect your damn mother! . This fits in with the late crop of severely undervalued Disney films of the past several years, which includes The Princess and the Frog and Meet the Robinsons. None of these films are masterpieces or on par with Pixar's best, but they're excellent films nonetheless.

another Earthling, Gribble voice – Dan Fogler who also tried to save his mother. Milo will do whatever it takes to save his mother. My Comments This is a story of Martians kidnapping moms from Earth so they can program their nanny-bots to raise the Martian children. This movie has elements that include science fiction, fantasy, action, and motherly love. The main point of the story is whether Milo will be able to save his mother before the Martians execute their plans? This is really a CGI/animation/human adaptation movie where the people are fitted with special sensors and all of their movements are captured and digitized onto a computer. The action that you see is actually being done by the actors. You will be able to recognize Joan Cusack at the very beginning, and eventually Dan Fogler, but Seth Green is a little different. The acting and animation are quite good once you understand that real people were doing the acting and not just the voice. One thing that I enjoyed was watching the credits at the end, because you get to see the actor's movements with the sensors on and green-screen for the special effect shots. The moral of the story for children is that they all should appreciate their mothers. Walt Disney Pictures, Run Time 1:28, PG 8/10

apart Disney should be ashamed of themselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a family movie, that was made by Disney and mention's Disneyland once in it. Big deal! What kid doesn't talk about Disneyland, even if they have not been there? My family would go see this again for sure. And to think we almost didn't go because of all the bad reviews . Very, very sad.
