Planet 51 Movie Trailer

For the six people who saw Battle For Terra, this might look fairly familiar. There’s none of Terra’s ‘human invasion force’ plot (or so it seems) but there is a very similar human stranded on civilized alien world, little robot helper, young alien helping him get back to his ship, etc. But then, the idea of sticking a human astronaut on a world with a civilization that’s just as developed and slightly paranoid as ours isn’t exactly (ahem) rocket science. We’ll just disregard the fact that Battle For Terra is actually a couple years old (it showed up at TIFF in ‘07) and accept the whole thing as coincidence, since Planet 51 has been in development for quite a while.
