@deckard97:

The engine air intakes look too rectangular, and the nose looks not quite right... Maybe I'm being too picky.

On second look, throw in a robot guy, and you've got a Doom Patrol movie!

Seriously... yet another movie with a whole cast of male characters of various sorts and one sexy girl?

Whatever, you'd think that Hollywood would get over its smurfette syndrome already!

Other than that it looks kind of fun.

They've got me with the voice cast, I'm afraid. The men anyway.

You had me at Colbert!

@Killa_Charlie: I think with Colbert as the prez you've already got one pop culture joke before the movie even hits the screen.

Looks and sound really neat, but will probably be ruined with a slew of pop culture jokes like all Dreamworks CG films.

So, in the second image, are those MiG-23s or Tornadoes? 'Cause they aren't American planes...

Colbert as the President is inarguably the best piece of casting, but Hugh Laurie as "Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D." is a close second.

Monsters vs. Aliens + Cuteness of Dreamworks = Fuzzy happy feeling while quietly anticipating high levels of human destruction within the movie. Yay :) Just... Yay!

Why didn't they stick with the original title of the comic it's based on? Rex Havoc and the Ass-Kickers of the Fantastic is a much cooler sounding movie.

That *was* a rhetorical question, right? A big studio movie without a title that can be approved by the most uptight and Jesus-loving soccer mom?

I think the long line of CG fluff with the same borrowed character designs is starting to make me bitter as this sounds exactly like every other animated Hollywood venture.

That being said, the giant fluffy thing destroying what looks to be the the Golden Gate bridge is pretty cute. That poor bridge, though. It's America's Tokyo Tower.

The story on which it's based sounds pretty interesting. I need to look that up...

And they said there was to be no more SF next year, according to Variety.

The art looks good, the battle-song is WONDERFUL, and the casting is full of good *voices* and not just known-name actors -- sounds like a winner to me!

*crosses fingers in hopes that Sean Connery and Ian McKellan get cast!*
