Just because there are monsters and aliens in this film (which is in
3D) doesn't give any assurance of a good film. What happened here was
that they were too dependent on the concept of monsters and aliens that
they gave little attention to the story. Development was limited to 4
not-so-interesting characters and the theme was very common
(friendship, teamwork, etc.). A positive theme but they can always
think of another, even better, one. Other animated movies seem to do it
well.

The characters I really liked only made an appearance in the first half
of the movie, the other half focused on the friendship the "monsters"
were starting to have. A waste of a good idea.

Maybe kids will enjoy this generic CGI film, but even my siblings (ages
6, 10, and 13) didn't have any say about this movie. Which implies it
was forgettable.
