“Planet 51”
Greetings fellow Earth Movie Travelers,
~~If this is your first time reading a Movie Alien travel blog entry, please visit the “About Movie Alien” page to learn more about the purpose of these transmissions.
My latest DVD voyage brought me to the world of “Planet 51”. The world of “Planet 51” was a fun, youngling-friendly place to visit with a group of inhabitants who have a protected knowledge of their galactic surroundings. Like humans, these little green men and women suspect that they are not the only intelligent life in the galaxy. But their planet has never officially met an alien species so they let their fears take control of their imaginations of just such an encounter. They suspect that any contact with intelligent life beyond their own species will be a horrific experience.
So when this light-hearted voyage my Human Host and I were enjoying landed right next to a very Human Astronaut exploring “Planet 51” for the first time, the reaction from the local green men is paranoia that they are being invaded by terrifying aliens. The irony for the Alien Traveler in me is that the same fear and paranoia is apparent on Earth and is why all alien species currently on Earth with their Human Hosts remain buried in the subconscious mind. It is just too dangerous too risk exposure.
What begins as a hysterical planet thinking they are in the grips of an alien invasion turns in to a youngling-friendly vacation of assumptions and lessons about first impressions and preconceived influences as one of the little green men learns that the Human Astronaut is not a terrifying space creature and is actually a pretty decent guy. While the destination is clever and the sights were vibrant and creative, I was left with a travel experience that felt mostly expressed in worlds where it is a Human population that experiences a misunderstood Alien resonate better.
Overall – this trip to a new Alien Planet was fun but could be missed for a return trip to the world of “E.T.” - especially if you have younglings of your own who have never had the pleasure of visiting the “E.T.” star system. I would give “Planet 51” a 60% rating for a pleasurable world with a well traveled and uninspired travel scene.
Take care and safe travels,
