Just took my daughter to the 3D IMAX presentation of this movie and I have to say it was quite good.

The whole movie was in 3D and the animation was superb. Quite a few jokes for the adults too, but Stephen Colbert's part was a bit overdone.

Only down side is that both my daughter and I have splitting headaches now.

Well worth the premium price, I think if more films could be produced like this it would give me a reason to stop using my Apple TV for movies.

It was fine. Not great, not bad. Decent way to kill some time with the kids. Seth Rogen's character is basically his character in other films and thus still funny.

Saw this last night. Thought it was pretty funny. The trailer for the evil war like humans trying to colonize the planet of the peace loving fish tailed aliens looked pretty good.
I give it a thumbs up.

How would you rate it compared to Monsters Inc, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo and Bolt; as in better than, worse than or equally enjoyable?

I haven't seen a bad Pixar film yet, but some are definitely better than others.

This isn't Pixar. It's a pretty typical Dreamworks. Better than their worst, about par with their best, but very very typical of Dreamworks Animations' normal output. Not memorable, not offensive.

Is best at the top of that list or the bottom? You accidentally put Bolt between Monsters Inc and the Incredibles, which makes no sense?

It wasn't horrible. Decent movie, got a couple of laughs from me. I went to see it simply because Hugh Laurie was in it.  Ohhhhh, I see.

The 3D gave me a headache, and it was utterly cliche in some places. WTB intelligent villains.. (Honestly, do some research. Recruit the monsters that society has locked up for 50 years for NO REASON. *grumble*)
