Audiences are lukewarm on it.
The FilmyChill Score combines audience ratings and critics' reception, and updates twice a day. No studio or platform can pay for a score. How the score works
Monsters vs Aliens is streaming in New Zealand on Netflix.
What the audience says
Monsters vs Aliens is a middling English film — fine for a one-time watch but unlikely to stay with you. It carries a 6.3/10 on TMDB across 5,143 ratings — squarely mid-table.
Should you spend 94 minutes on it?
94 minutes of English animation, leaning family, fine for the whole family. That score holds across 5,140 ratings, so it's about as safe as this week's list gets.
