The animated family comedy catapults movie goers to planet Baab where admired astronaut Scorch Supernova (Brendan Fraser) is a national hero to the blue alien population. A master of daring rescues, Scorch pulls off astonishing feats with the quiet aid of his nerdy, by-the-rules brother, Gary (Rob Corddry), head of mission control at BASA. When BASA's no-nonsense chief Lena (Jessica Alba) informs the brothers of an SOS from a notoriously dangerous planet, Scorch rejects Gary's warnings and bounds off for yet another exciting mission. But when Scorch finds himself caught in a fiendish trap set by the evil Shanker (James Gandolfini), it's up to scrawny, risk-adverse Gary to do the real rescuing. As the interplanetary stakes rise to new heights, Gary is left to save his brother, his planet, his beloved wife Kira (Sarah Jessica Parker) and their adventure hungry son Kip.
That was way too long winded of a synopsis for a basic kids movie. This movie was just kind of there. It wasn't necessarily bad but wasn't anything that I would be pushing anyone to see. It's basically going to benefit simply because its the first kids movie that has come out in almost 2 months and has another month before anything else comes out. The movie is basically a watered down version of Mosters Vs. Aliens.
I wouldn't really recommend anyone rushing to see this. It's a somewhat decent watch for a kids movie but they could have done more with it for the adults that have to watch it with the aforementioned kids.
