Synopsis
Planet 51 (2009) is an animated sci-fi comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Jorge Blanco flips the classic invasion story inside out: this time the terrifying alien is a human.
Astronaut Chuck Baker lands on a distant world expecting to plant a flag on empty ground. Instead he finds little green people whose towns, cars and manners look exactly like 1950s small-town America. The one thing they dread is a space monster from the sky, which is precisely how they see Chuck. To recover his stolen ship and get home, the astronaut has to stay hidden and trust a local teenager named Lem.
Dwayne Johnson voices Chuck, alongside Jessica Biel, Justin Long, Gary Oldman and John Cleese. Built by Spain's Ilion Animation Studios, the film is packed with nods to vintage science fiction, from flying saucers to an alien dog that marks its turf with acid. A 91-minute family adventure.
