I'm hanging out with my new friends, and yes.. they are monsters!

Thanks to SM Mall of Asia and SM Cinema for inviting us to the red carpet IMAX premiere of Monsters Vs. Aliens. I went there with my movie bloggers group to watch it and witness the battle of Earth monsters against the invading creatures from another galaxy. I'm happy to see the movie in full 3D in IMAX, the experience is better and more enjoyable. You're eyes will be tricked again by the 3D effects of the CGI animation and thanks to the IMAX 3D glasses for enhancing your viewing pleasure and get that IMAX 3D feeling.

Here's my review about the movie.
I'm a big scifi and horror fan and because that this animated movie is for kids, I can relate on some of the characters and elements they used in some movies. It drove me nuts and I think few us viewers who just heared and laugh after hearing the theme song of the classic movie "Close Encouter of the third kind". I know most of the viewers are kids and they are not familiar with it, but this might help them also watch the classic films if they really want to know about Monsters.

Here are some elements of movies I just noticed about Monsters. ( read below)
1. Attack of the 50 foot tall woman
2. The Fly
3. Creatures from the Black Lagoon
4. The Blob
5. Independece Day
6. The Earth Stood Still
7. E.T.
8. Close Encounters of the Third Kind
9. Godzilla
10. Mothra
11. Mars Attacks
12. Invaders from Mars
13. Men in Black
14. King Kong
15. War of the Worlds

if you combine these sci fi and monster movies and create your own parody, you will get a Monsters Vs. Aliens animated movie.

The Imax experience is really great, and I highly recommend it. Because you will watch the entire movie in full 3D. The animation will wow you with the 3D effects and I laughed almost in the entire movie because I really enjoy the story and the funny scenes of each of the characters. I like the character of BOB, the gelantinous mass with no brain creature, and most kids love him for this funny moves and dialogues. The textures of each animated character is well treated with each of their effects, the skin texture of Susan aka Ginormica looks so real already, but you'll see that only in the beginning of the movie, the hair of Insectosaurus flows very well.

When it comes to audio and sounds, the IMAX will blow you away, I just felt lots of audio waves in some of the exploding scenes, and It looks like that I am inside the movie, the shock wave of some explosions and thumping of the ground will make you fool yourself that you are in the movie. I heard one kid screaming and saying to her mom this "mommy! we are inside the movie! look!" the kid got amaze and I know he felt the IMAX 3D experience.

If you are planning to watch the movie in a regular screening, I suggest to get an extra budget and watch the IMAX 3D screening of Monsters Vs. Aliens. The P350 entrance fee ( is this the ticket price??) is a sure win for the 3D thing.
