Mark Kermode: Cal Brunker's space animation is undemanding children's fare, despite a little help from Stephen Fry
Touching down on UK shores a full year after blasting off (in muted fashion) from Us cinemas, this innocuous interstellar animation plays to the younger end of the market with undemanding (and largely unoriginal) thrills and spills. When his wantonly heroic brother Scorch Supernova is stranded on "the Dark Planet", it's left to nerdy sibling Gary to boldly go from Baab to Earth, winding up a prisoner of Area 51, wherein enslaved aliens are forced to work on new-fangled inventions such as the internet, the mobile phone, and (more recently) an exterminating death ray.
With Stephen Fry providing "additional writing" and Ricky Gervais as the voice of the on-board computer, you'd expect wry humour and cine-literate pop-culture references aplenty, yet beyond a few nostalgic nods to It Came from Outer Space and arcane public information films,...

Chicago – Not only have I been a longtime fan of great children’s films like those produced by Disney and Studio Ghibli over the years but I’m now a parent and absolutely adore the feeling of passing along my favorite films like “Spirited Away,” “Dumbo,” “The Little Mermaid,” and “Toy Story” along to my little ones. My children will never see “Escape From Planet Earth.” As someone who not only sees nearly every animated film in his profession but has a new appreciation for them given my being a parent, I feel qualified to say this is one of the worst children’s films of the last decade. It’s aggressively annoying with awful character design and a screenplay that is clearly trying to teach children a lesson about boredom.
Rating: 1.5/5.0
