Monster Trucks 3D
A teen finds a monster in a truck in this family adventure from the director of Epic and starring Lucas Till (X-Men: Apocalypse).
Looking for any way to get away from the life and town he was born into - or at least a distraction - Tripp (Till), a high school senior, builds a monster truck from bits and pieces of scrapped cars. After an accident at a nearby oil-drilling site displaces a strange and subterranean creature with a taste and a talent for speed, Tripp may have just found the key to getting out of town and a most unlikely friend.

Time Out
...if you like trucks and/or monsters and have 102 minutes with absolutely nothing better to do, give it a spin.

The New York Times
An eco-fable devoid of didactic overkill, delivered with energy, winking mischief, unobtrusive effects and a skilled cast.

The Guardian
It has tentacles and hot wheels, yes, but not the legs or bright ideas to sustain itself.

Hollywood Reporter
A tone-deaf mix of live action and computer-generated animation that never engagingly clicks into gear.

Empire Magazine
A ludicrous concept is given pace and goofy humour but it doesn’t give its human characters enough room to shine amid the set piece car chases.
