Monsters vs Aliens (PG)

19 September - 20 September 2009

Cinema

When a radioactive meteor hurtles into Susan Murphy on her wedding day, she is transformed into a towering, platinum-haired giant. Taken away by the government and dubbed "Ginormica," Susan is introduced to other scientific oddities, including the dim blob B.O.B., and the brilliant, bug-headed Dr. Cockroach. These "monsters" are released from captivity when a massive alien robot appears in San Francisco and clearly does not come in peace. With little time to adjust to her new stature, Susan must learn to work with her strange allies to avoid an all-out extraterrestrial invasion. This enjoyable animated production riffs on 1950s sci-fi movies while also playfully referencing everything from Dr. Strangelove to Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Discovery Family Film Club is a new way for families and young audiences to experience the magic of cinema.

On selected Saturdays at 12.15pm there will be a workshop in the cinema before the screening where young people can participate in a variety of art projects.
