Plot: When Captain Charles T, Baker lands on Planet 51 he expects to go down in history as a great astronaut. He is surprised to find out that the planet is occupied by another alien life form, but he is the alien now. Lem helps hide Charles with his friends Skiff and Neera while the trigger happy General Grawl tries to track him down for Professor Kipple to experiment on.
Verdict: A fun comedy for all
Story: I would say the best thing about this story is that it reflexes how some American reacted to the ‘Alien Landing’ during the 50s. I say this because the film is set in the alien world’s 50s and are all fearing of visitors from out of space. It also comes off as a coming of age like tale for Lem who gets an unlikely mentor to help him discover who is really is and what he could achieve. In conclusion it would be fair to say the story has been done before but with little twists to the tale we get a very enjoyable film. (7/10)
