    This latest offering from Paramount Pictures has taken 3-D animation technology to such levels that one may wonder whether live actors could soon become redundant. The unique animated characters of the movie straddle the worlds of science fiction and folk tale.

    The main characters are Susan, who gets mutated into a 50’ monster when a meteorite struck her on her wedding day; Dr. Cockroach, a scientist with the head of a roach; B.O.B, a brainless, glutinous mass of a creature; Insectosaurus, a 350’ insect larva; and Missing Link, an ancient ape-fish combination strongman.

    All of them are tagged monsters and remain incarcerated in a segregated facility, providing enough visual entertainment for the audience. Their time come when aliens invade the earth. The beleaguered president, on the advice of his general, releases the so-called monsters to fight the invaders. The president and his general are two of the few live characters in the movie.

    The whole cast of the invading alien and his self-cloning army is also 3-dimensional, making the Armageddon at the end also a visual delight with heightened 3-D effects.
