Prismark10 My son went to see this film with his friends and they left before the film finished yet they were the target audience!The film is not great but it is family friendly and cheesy with not too good special effects. It lacks the bombast as well as the verve of the Transformer films.High school teenager Tripp (Lucas Till) works part time in a junkyard when he finds a large slimy creature that consumes oil and takes shelter in the hood of a truck which the monster can control.The oil company whose fracking activities unleashed the monster have sent a team to hunt it down as Tripp with a high school friend Meredith try to evade them. They get help from Tripp's mom's boyfriend who is the sheriff and get hindered by Tripp's dad.The film has a pro green agenda but the script is a bit dumb and so is the lead actor.
Nenko Genov Not just every movie gets me so excited and pumped up as to just rush to IMDb and write it a positive review, but Monster Trucks sure is one of those rare cases! Seeing the trailer and knowing that this is a NIckelodeon movie I expected a good, fun, family friendly flick with a likable creature, but my expectations were quite surpassed. The movie really is all of the above-mentioned, but it just shines with a lot of positivism and heart. The creature-truck concept is really original, while the story is your classical coming-of-age, boy-against-world, boy-meets-girl, boy-comes-to-terms-with-step-dad- who-in-the-end-turns-out-to-be-a-decent-nice-guy, and of course, most of all, boy-and-unusual-out-of-this-world-friend kind of story. Some may call these themes repetitive, I call them eternal and engaging when done in the right way, and the cast and the director all do a lovely job to bring out the emotional charge in this one. Not to mention that Creech is extremely lovable from his very first appearance in the film, the effects are believable and quite well done, and the CGI is never overused as to overwhelm the scene. There is plenty of spectacle, plenty of action and some really fun (even if kinda guilty pleasure) scenes of destruction and smashing stuff. The humor is there too, and it never crosses any boundaries, no crude jokes or anything to really worry about. I would totally watch this film again, but this time with my two little daughters. This movie is like TREMORS meets FREE WILLY! It made me feel like a 10- year-old again and I would highly recommend it to anyone, especially if you're into stories about unusual friendships such as "The Iron Giant", "E.T.", "Lilo and Stitch", "The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep", etc. Two thumbs and four giant wheels up for MONSTER TRUCKS!
jenm2601 This movie is a comedy, romance, and action movie combined. The comedy and action are the two most prominent categories that this movie could be put into. I rated this movie a nine due to the graphics and because its ending could be sad to some children. I think that overall, the acting was great considering that the actors are having to respond to a computer animated animal that they could not see, or hear, or touch. The movie's ending would probably leave most adults satisfied because it was realistic; the monster, Creech, has to go back to his family and cannot stay with Tripp. I like how it provides viewers with a realistic interpretation of how kids would respond to being in a broken family, with their parents living with other people. Some parents might not want their children to see a family like that, but it is realistic. I would recommend this movie to the families of my friends and relatives, as well as others looking for a good family movie in order to pass the time.
draftdubya I was a pain to watch the main male flat out ignore the pretty main female that was lusting for him. The main guy lust for a douche bag rival's girlfriend(who choose douche in the first place). The teen angst against the crappy(was he really crappy) stepfather, when the dad was really the arsehole. The main guy looks like Sam(from Supernatural).My biggest gripe was, why didn't the oil company just turn what they found into a giant Jurassic park sort of thing. they would've raked in billions a year.
