Monsters Vs. Aliens Now

Director Conrad Vernon and co-director Rob Letterman pack the frame with visual Easter eggs. From the black-and-white "scientific mumbo-jumbo" sequences to the retro-futuristic design of the military base, the film feels like a Saturday matinee double feature brought to life with modern 3D animation.
