Its secret weapon is a satirically inclined script, reworked by Stephen Fry among others, that disrupts the general factory-line vibe with regular funny lines.March 06, 2014
It's a lively, unpretentious adventure that should delight young children and has enough pop culture gags and sly humor to amuse their parents.March 05, 2014
A painted-by-numbers 3D kid-flick enlivened mostly by Rob Corddry, who plays the fastidious, nerdy brother to Brendan Fraser's doomed Buzz Lightyear clone.July 27, 2014
The animation is hardly out of this world, but a script polish from Stephen Fry and others means that there is a sprinkling of good gags to accompany the siblings' adventures.February 19, 2013
A lightweight, warp-speed, brightly colored trifle that should delight small children and sporadically amuse their parents.October 10, 2014
One only has to think of Battlefield Earth and After Earth to realise that putting the name of our planet into a movie title isn't always a good idea. Happily, Escape From Planet Earth is a reasonable exception.February 18, 2013
It never discovers new worlds, but "Escape From Planet Earth" is, in its genial way, escape enough.February 19, 2013
Just like its hero and his grounded starship, Escape From Planet Earth is, for much of the film, a decidedly earthbound adventure.March 09, 2014
This is very much by-numbers pre-teen fare, spiced up by the sound of William Shatner enjoying himself.February 19, 2013
Colorful as the 3-D aliens-among-us comedy is to look at, though, Corddry is handed a role that's beige as can be, and so are his castmates.February 15, 2013
A children's movie about space-traveling blue beings that has lots of high-flying escapades but fairly low aspirations.March 18, 2013
An animated film that goes lamely where many have gone before.
