Roxy Striar, John Humphrey, & Jon Maturan react to Monsters vs. Aliens (2009), DreamWorks Animation’s colorful, fast-paced sci-fi comedy that pays loving tribute to classic monster movies while delivering big laughs and surprising heart. Directed by Rob Letterman and Conrad Vernon, the film blends B-movie spectacle with family-friendly humor and blockbuster action. The story follows Susan Murphy (Reese Witherspoon – Legally Blonde, Big Little Lies), who is struck by a meteor on her wedding day and grows to 49 feet tall—earning the government-assigned name Ginormica. She’s quickly recruited into a secret military team of monsters that includes Dr. Cockroach Ph.D. (Hugh Laurie – House, Veep), B.O.B. (Seth Rogen – Superbad, Pineapple Express), The Missing Link (Will Arnett – Arrested Development, The Lego Movie), and Insectosaurus (Kiefer Sutherland – 24, The Lost Boys). Together, they’re tasked by General W.R. Monger (Kelsey Grammer – Frasier, X-Men: The Last Stand) with stopping the alien invader Gallaxhar (Rainn Wilson – The Office, Super). Packed with standout moments like Ginormica’s San Francisco rampage, B.O.B.’s indestructible antics, the monster team’s Tokyo showdown, and the climactic battle against Gallaxhar’s robot drone, Monsters vs. Aliens balances spectacle with themes of self-worth, independence, and embracing what makes you different. We break down the animation, performances, sci-fi references, and why this film remains a fun, underrated entry in DreamWorks’ animated lineup. #MonstersVsAliens #DreamWorksAnimation #AnimatedMovie #FamilyFilm #SciFiComedy #PixarRival #AnimationReaction #MovieReaction #MovieReview #MonsterMovie #AlienMovie #React #ReactTo #Reaction Ratatouille (2007) Movie Watch Along: https://youtu.be/ohYhsz2qv94 Zootopia 2 (2025) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/yh2KqmIBW48 Megamind (2010) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/BRsY13u7Umo How to Train Your Dragon (2010) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/XGVgelE64mU KPop Demon Hunters (2025) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/45_EQSazdDk 0:00 Checking In! 2:03 Monsters vs. Aliens Reaction 30:11 PRIZE PICKS 31:35 Monsters vs. Aliens Movie Reactions 1:10:29 Monsters vs. Aliens Review Follow *Roxy Striar* https://www.instagram.com/roxystriar/?hl=en https://twitter.com/roxystriar Follow Jon Maturan: https://www.instagram.com/jonmaturan/?hl=en Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/praperhq/?hl=en Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG Ask Us A QUESTION On CAMEO: https://www.cameo.com/thereelrejects Follow GREG On INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thegregalba PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y

This film is such an underrated gem that sadly gets criminally overlooked

I love how Gallaxhar's back story just got completely cut off. It frustrated me as a kid, but it's pretty hilarious now.

The moment I heard “no cockroaches” I immediately yelled “mad scientist laugh” followed by his laugh

I know this isn't a lot of people's favorites, but I still have a soft spot for it. It's hilarious, and I like Susan's arc learning to accept herself no matter what.

My guess is W.R. Monger's knees hurt when it's about to rain. He's implying that Ginormica is so tall, her tears would mimic rain.

I love the subversion of having W.R.Monger actually be an overall good guy. He's not experimenting on the monsters, just housing them to keep them a secret, and keeps his word on letting them be free by helping fight the aliens

This is one of my all time favorite movies. Can never be upset when watching this. “I may not have a brain, gentlemen, but I have an idea.”

He may have officially been a roach, but in fairness he wasn't really drawn like one.

16:57 When he says don't cry, it makes my knees hurt, it's because she is so big her tears are like rain and people who have arthritis have joint pain when its about to rain
