"Monster Trucks" feels like a throwback to the era of "a boy and his (magical) dog" movies - though these stories have significantly lost their charm since the industry switched from practical to digital effects.
Full reviewA 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.

Full review...if you like trucks and/or monsters and have 102 minutes with absolutely nothing better to do, give it a spin.
Full reviewAn eco-fable devoid of didactic overkill, delivered with energy, winking mischief, unobtrusive effects and a skilled cast.
Full reviewIt has tentacles and hot wheels, yes, but not the legs or bright ideas to sustain itself.
Full reviewA tone-deaf mix of live action and computer-generated animation that never engagingly clicks into gear.
Full reviewA 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.
