PlayTM: Planet 51 Review

PlayTM writes: "Planet 51, both the CGI animated move and the game-tie in by Spanish developer Pyro Studios, ultimately suffer the same strange fate. The sheer amount of financial investment and technical ability in order to make high-quality CGI is mind blowing. The movie cost an estimated 60 million dollars to make, with Illium Studios using over 200 Hewlett Packard workstations chugging 50,000Gb of raw data through 1500 dedicated render cores. The creative staff represent more hours of training and education than a squadron of ninja, have the patience of Buddhist monks, and a stronger obsessive-compulsive work ethic than an autistic ant colony. Yet despite all this incredible technology and talent they made a boring movie, and so it is that despite clear technical competence and no shortage or investment, Planet 51: The Game is about the most tedious title to grace your console with this holiday season."
