Monster Trucks (2017)

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

This is a lesser version of the kid-befriends-and-saves-mysterious-creature-from-evil-adults story...though it's not complete garbage either. The driving is fun, the monsters are cool, the plot is clear. Its biggest issue is the "hero", who's dull, whiny, cliched, and pompous. The film certainly isn't great or at all original, but there are much worse things to show your kids.

This movie was a trip to memory lane. It's a modern version of movies such as E.T., Bigfoot and any other eighties and nineties movies where a kid finds and protects an alien (or other kind of creature) from a government or any other association. So it's not anything new, story wise, but it brings a whole new take to the genre. I really loved Creech and its childlike behavior and the chemistry between Creech and Tripp and Meredith. The action scenes looked great! The scene where they are chased through the town and make their escape by jumping the train was great to look at.It's not a movie with great depth but it doesn't require to be. I've seen movies with more depth that really sucked. This one is so underrated and deserves more credit!Great job, Chris Wedge!

A young man working at a small town junkyard discovers and befriends a creature which feeds on oil being sought by a fracking company. Although Monster Trucks did received a better amount of reviews than anyone was expecting it to it still wasn't enough and personally after all those things that i have heard i had to see the film and judge it on my own and honestly i think that the movie did it's purpose and it was a hell lot of fun. What surprised me the most was how good the acting was and since it's a Nickelodeon film it really did surprised me a lot. Lucas Till, Jane Levy and Barry Pepper were pretty great and their performances did sold the movie for me, the characters were also very interesting and even tho Meredith (played by Levy) was kinda useless if you think about it she did save the day at the end. The movie also has some pretty good and decent cgi mostly with the monsters themselves who although scary at first they do get pretty sweet and funny as the film goes along. Overall Monster Trucks knows it's purpose and although it does get kinda over the top at times and it does have some mindless action sequences it's still a fun family film that kids will definitely enjoy and maybe just maybe even their parents as well.

There are lots of similarities with other films, maybe not directly. In todays world, it became practice to give kids (and sometimes for women) their own version of what meant for only grownups. So there's no use whining about that. Because those who does might not be the target audience. This is I think purely for kids, otherwise it would have not got bold PG, but like usual for any film, I gave it a try. Even though it's not original, somewhat I enjoyed watching it.The story was in usual pattern that opened with an intro, then moving to unleash the long trapped ancient creatures into the human society. One becomes friend with it and a few starting to hunt it with the rest are as the neutral or unaware of it. There's nothing unpredictable in it. And so the tale comes to halt with a finale where maximum push was given, but overall it fails to impress on the average expectation.Good title, good idea, even the graphics were not bad, but not good enough stunts with okay performances. I feel it could have become a good television series than the film. So they should scrap the idea if they have one for a sequel and instead make a shift to television. Other than what I thought, this is a good entertainer for little kids. So it should be watched by them more than their counterparts.5½/10
