The story has been used thousands of times in books, movies, and more. The humans travel to space seeking more of the world and discover evil aliens seeking to destroy our race. Sony Pictures animated film Planet 51 takes it to another extreme that audiences haven’t really been presented with before. The story follows the astronaut Chuck (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) whose mission is to land on Planet 51 and explore. The unexpected occurs, he is not alone. In fact there is an entire green “alien” race that live what the humans would consider normal lives. Their people begin to panic upon Chuck’s arrival, seeing this human as the “alien” on their planet. Lem, a young “alien” boy Chuck meets, tries to help him escape before he becomes part of the Planet 51 Alien Invaders Space Museum. The movie is an adventure all across the bizarre world of Planet 51 that is slated to hit theaters November 20, 2009. Watch the trailer below.
What do you think of the trailer? Will this be better than the average non-Pixar fare?
