Planet 51 is an animated film directed by Jorge Blanco, written by Joe Stillman and starring Dwayne Johnson, Jessica Biel, Justin Long, Seann William Scott, Gary Oldman and John Cleese. Produced by Madrid-based Ilion Animation Studios and HandMade Films for $60 million, it was acquired for US distribution by New Line Cinema in November 2007. Planet 51 was released on November 20, 2009, by Sony Pictures Worldwide via TriStar Pictures. It was originally titled Planet One, but re-named Planet 51 because all “Planets” from 1 to 50 were already trademarked. Planet 51 is the most expensive movie produced in Spain.

The film follows a NASA astronaut, Captain Charles “Chuck” Baker (Dwayne Johnson) who lands on Planet 51 thinking he’s the first to set foot on it. However, he discovers it’s inhabited by little green people who live in a white picket-fenced world reminiscent of 1950s America. This frightens the aliens, who think he’s an invader.

The film has received negative reviews from critics.  Rotten Tomatoes reported that 19% of critics gave the film positive reviews based on 53 reviews with an average score of 4.1/10.  Another review aggretator, Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating from 100 top reviews from mainstream critics, gave the film an average score of 39% based on 19 reviews.

Adam Markovitz of Entertainment Weekly graded the film a B regarding the film “delivers a few pleasant surprises, including a smart story”. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 2½ stars, but positively wrote of the film being “perfectly pleasant as kiddie entertainment, although wall-to-wall with pop references to the American 1950s.” However, some critics such as Markovitz , Steven Rea of the Philadelphia Inquirer , and Brain Miller of Village Voice acknowledged the film is “an E.T. in reverse”.

Lem is just an average teenager working on getting the girl and furthering his career at the local planetarium – except that he’s an alien. At least to U.S. astronaut Captain Charles T. Baker who lands on Lem’s planet hoping for a quick flag plant and a hasty return to earth and his millions of screaming fans. But on this alien planet the media has tagged spacemen as brain-eating, zombie-creating monsters, causing Baker to run for his life and into Lem’s house. Now it’s up to the green native to get the clumsy astronaut back to his spaceship before military dictator General Grawl and mad scientist Professor Kipple manage to exterminate the Earthly visitor.
