    Escape From Planet Earth

    Released: June 4, 2013

    Studio: Anchor Bay

    Running Time: 90 minutes

    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).

    I took my boys to see this movie at the theater and we loved it, so much so that we couldn’t wait for it to come out on DVD.  My 4 year old laughed hysterically at different parts, and honestly he probably didn’t understand half of it.  The characters were memorable ones that each had their own unique personalities. The movie is about two brothers, one a hero and the other the computer nerd.  The computer nerd handles Mission Control and has a son who idolizes his brother the hero.  After Scorch goes on a mission to the dangerous planet (Earth) he gets captured.  Gary (computer nerd) goes on a rescue mission to save his brother and show his family that he is a hero too!  On Earth the brothers are forced to do the bidding of building a weapon to destroy other planets.  There are other aliens in the movie and they are hysterical!  I honestly haven’t seen a good kids movie in a long time and this one was worth it.  It was about 1 hour 30 minutes and we will definitely watch again.  I don’t feel either that there was anything inappropriate for young kids, but yet it is still a movie that will appeal to all ages.

      Me and my friends are really really excited about Despicable me 2, Because are teachers reminds us of some of the characters in that movie. Because he makes us laugh all the time in class. Plus me and my friends love 3d movies. So What can get better than that.

      I want my grand daughters to see any movie with clean language, no unnecessary sex or violence. This would be a good movie for them to watch

      My daughter loved Avengers, so she wants to see Iron Man 3. But, she wants to see IM1&2 first. So we are doing our homework.
