Metascore®Generally unfavorable reviews Based on a weighted average of all critic review scores.
A sample of reviews from critics across the country.
Delivers a few pleasant surprises, including a smart story -- a reverse-E.T. riff that plops an American astronaut down in a world of just-like-us-only-green creatures -- and clever characters.

Although not bowling me over, Planet 51 is a jolly and good-looking animated feature in glorious 2-D.
It's a missed opportunity. The premise is OK enough, even if it is like one of those old "Star Trek" episodes.
A perky though not terribly imaginative feature aimed primarily at youngsters.
Agreeable but flagrantly unoriginal.
There's nothing funny, provocative or involving about what "Shrek" co-writer Joe Stillman and the team from Madrid-based Ilion Animation Studios do with the notion here.

A tedious, clichéd space yarn.
