Baker had expected to land on an uninhabited planet, but when he encounters the green-skinned locals who’re used to watching movies that feature humans as invading monsters, he has to wrap his head around the fact that he is the alien on this planet. Planet 51 throws in lots of references to past sci-fi movies. There’s a little dog that’s a dead ringer for the creature from Alien and Rover, the puppy-like land rover that provides some comic relief, looks a lot like WALL-E.

The action in the new kids flick Planet 51 takes place on an alternate-universe version of Earth where Shrek-green humanoids live out SoCal-accented happy days, complete with Googie architecture, white picket fences and Little Richard playing on the radio.

The big news among the populace is the premiere of Humaniacs III, the latest in a popular movie series about human invaders who “eat brains for dinner.”

So when American astronaut Chuck Baker (voiced by Dwayne Johnson) emerges from his lunar module, humming Strauss’ “Also Sprach Zarathustra,” the little green people freak out, fearing they’ll be turned into zombies. Chuck, expecting to claim a deserted planet for the U.S. of A, goes into hiding too.

Now, all he wants to do is phone home to Mission Control and get back to where he once belonged — although where exactly Chuck belongs is never specified

When Captain Charles T. Baker (Dwayne Johnson) lands on Planet 51 during a normal space mission he has no idea that it is a planet inhabited by green, antenna sprouting aliens who are living in what could easily pass as 1950’s America. The residents are in a naive fear (sort of like our country and nuclear war) of human invasion. So when Baker shows up he is met with fear and instant apprehension and quickly sought out for capture and probing. He is befriended by a smart, science loving, alien teen named Lem (Justin Long) who helps him try and find his ship and get back to Earth safely.

I was truly surprised by this film and the lengths it went to in order to keep the older viewers engaged. There are numerous, though subtle, references to at least a half dozen classic and well known films. Even the set of Planet 51 has that Back to the Future 50’s nostalgia to it. Just substitute some young teen aliens for Marty and Biff and you get the picture. The 50’s culture worked perfect for the tone of the film too. The simplicity of life and the slow pace helped the wit and humor. There is plenty of action as Lem and Baker try to stay ahead of General Grawl (Gary Oldman) and his alien Army. It is funny to see the normal alien movie turned on its head. It is usually the American Army trying to destroy anything it doesn’t understand. This time it is the Golden boy astronaut that is the creature that most be purged. I laughed a lot as Sci Fi films and alien theories are portrayed sarcastically
