Family movie night can be a great escape. And we just saw one that's out of this world! With major name power on the voices, a witty script, and sweet visuals, Escape from Planet Earth is just the ticket to beat the winter blahs and have some family fun.
ChiIL Mama caught a sneak peek at Escape from Planet Earth, the Weinstein Company's latest animated 3D feature, opening nationwide on February 15th. I took a set of reviewers with me who are 9, 10 & 11 respectively and included boys and girls. They all thought the movie was hilarious and they had a blast! It's action packed, has character and characters, and has a great overall message.
It's refreshing when the smart and peaceful prevail over megalomaniacs with revenge fantasies. I though the social media quips, and creative black and white retro clips were fresh and fun. And the insinuation that search engines, social networks, cell phones, and more were alien technology we stole, is an amusing premise.
We love that the stay at home mom IS a rocket scientist, and kicks some serious booty, the nerd has the girl, and kids are not underestimated. Sometimes even superheroes need to be team players. Brains can trump arms. And the scrawny can rescue the brawny. Check it out yourself.

Escape From Planet Earth
The 3D animated family comedy catapults moviegoers to planet Baab where admired astronaut Scorch Supernova (Brendan Fraser) is a national hero to the blue alien population. A master of daring rescues, Scorch pulls off astonishing feats with the quiet aid of his nerdy, by-the-rules brother, Gary (Rob Corddry), head of mission control at BASA. When BASA’s no-nonsense chief Lena (Jessica Alba) informs the brothers of an SOS from a notoriously dangerous planet, Scorch rejects Gary’s warnings and bounds off for yet another exciting mission. But when Scorch finds himself caught in a fiendish trap set by the evil Shanker (William Shatner) it’s up to scrawny, risk-averse Gary to do the real rescuing. As the interplanetary stakes rise to new heights, Gary is left to save his brother, his planet, his beloved wife Kira (Sarah Jessica Parker) and their adventure-hungry son Kip (Jonathan Morgan Heit).
