Day 321 - Escape From Planet Earth (Canadian/American)

US Advance Poster
 
"The film opens with Scorch Supernova (Brendan Fraser) on a mission to rescue captured babies from the Gnarlachs. He rescues them just in time before the Gnarlachs wakes up. Scorch then returns to Planet Baab where he is known as a famous hero and a love interest for anchorwoman Gabby Babblebrook (Sofía Vergara) while at BASA his brother Gary (Rob Corddry) works. Gary's son Kip (Jonathan Morgan Heit) is a big fan of his uncle Scorch. Soon, Gary and Scorch receive a message from Lena Thackleman (Jessica Alba), the head of BASA, that Scorch will be sent to the "Dark Planet" (Earth) due to an SOS call. Scorch decides to go on the mission to the Dark Planet, but Gary strongly insists that he doesn't go because he is not serious"
 
Really not that bad but still needs a lot of work. The story was slightly rushed with not a whole lot happening. Some of the characters could have been used better as some only make two appearances but play a semi important part later in the film. Honestly I was pleased with most of the voice acting but despite being a fan of his I don't think George Lopez was a good choice for the character he was given. Speaking of characters, each one was under developed and with the plot moving so fast you really couldn't build a connection with the characters. If they had put in more work this movie could have been better but its a longshot if they wanted to compete with the likes of Disney and Pixar.
