Home (2015)


Twentieth Century-Fox Film
Directed by Tim Johnson
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Blu-ray, DreamWorks)

A race of small, dimwitted, but technologically advanced, aliens pick Earth as the latest planet to hide from their mortal enemies the Gorg. They quickly re-locate all the humans to Australia, but miss a teenage girl and her cat. Determined to reunite with her mother, the girl befriends one of the aliens and enlists his help in finding her. Along the way, the alien learns a lot about humans, and the shortcomings of his own race. Fast-paced, intelligent and beautifully animated in eye-popping colors, it's like the Jetsons on acid. I could have lived without the dancing, and most of the songs by Rihanna (who also voiced the girl), but I was able to put all of that aside and had a great time.
