Monsters vs. Aliens Movie Trailer
Monsters vs. Aliens - Official Synopsis
When California girl Susan Murphy is unwittingly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk on her wedding day, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall. The military jumps into action and Susan is captured and secreted away to a covert government compound. There, she is renamed Ginormica and placed in confinement with a ragtag group of Monsters: the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.; the macho half-ape, half-fish The Missing Link; the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B.; and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement is cut short, however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and begins storming the country. In a moment of desperation, the President is persuaded to enlist the motley crew of Monsters to combat the Alien Robot and save the world from imminent destruction.
Monsters vs. Aliens - Fun Facts
A clip of Monsters vs. Aliens in 3D was shown during Super Bowl 2009 on February 1st in what DreamWorks Animation chief executive Jeffrey Katzenberg called "perhaps the biggest media-advertising event in history." The commercial used updated 3D technology, which was said to be better than the common home 3D technology which uses the red and blue glasses. The 3D sneak preview has added even more hype to the already popular Super Bowl commercials.
