Two different worlds. One monster team.
Tripp is a high school senior with a knack for building trucks who makes an incredible discovery - a gas-guzzling creature named Creech. To protect his mischievous new friend, Tripp hides Creech under the hood of his latest creation, turning it into a real-life super-powered Monster Truck. Together, this unlikely duo with a shared taste for speed team up on a wild and unforgettable journey to reunite Creech with his family.

Hmmm! "Tripp" (Lucas Till) is the boy-next-door type working in a local scrap-yard where he discovers a rather large, octopus like, creature that likes to take over the undercarriages of trucks - making them bigger, faster and leaner to drive. All they require in return is a regular feeding of oil. Just like a baby drinks gallons of milk, well they can't get enough of the stuff. Thing is, though, this originally sea-dwelling creature (and two of his companions) are suffering at the hands of a fracking company that is after their oil supply and, of course, is after them too! It is soon down to "Tripp" and his feisty friend "Meredith" (Jane Levy) to save the day, the beasties and to thwart the evil plans of Rob Lowe (yes, THE Rob Lowe) whose "Reece Tenneson" character is determined to sow it all up and make a killing. Danny Glover also features here, so clearly director Chris Wedge has some numbers in his phone book, but perhaps he ought to have focussed more on some folks who could write and on a lead actor who didn't look like he had come straight out of a Dairylea cheese advert. Till is easy enough on the eye but he has no screen presence whatsoever, and from him on down this rather clunkily presented, environmentally stodgy, sci-fi adventure just trundles along for far too long before an ending that delivers just desserts on everyone and makes the audience want to go "awww, bless...". Some of the action stunts must have been fun to make and once it's up and running it doesn't hang about, but sadly the sum of these parts should all end up where "Tripp" works - in a junk yard.

Did I enjoy _Monster Trucks_? No. But I am actually pretty on board with this as a kids movie. _Final rating:★★ - Definitely not for me, but I sort of get the appeal._

**Very intentional film, but could not deliver!** There are lots of similarities with other films, maybe not directly. In todays world, it became practice to give kids (and sometimes for women) their own version of what meant for only grownups. So there's no use whining about that. Because those who does might not be the target audience. This is I think purely for kids, otherwise it would have not got bold PG, but like usual for any film, I gave it a try. Even though it's not original, somewhat I enjoyed watching it. The story was in usual pattern that opened with an intro, then moving to unleash the long trapped ancient creatures into the human society. One becomes friend with it and a few starting to hunt it with the rest are as the neutral or unaware of it. There's nothing unpredictable in it. And so the tale comes to halt with a finale where maximum push was given, but overall it fails to impress on the average expectation. Good title, good idea, even the graphics were not bad, but not good enough stunts with okay performances. I feel it could have become a good television series than the film. So they should scrap the idea if they have one for a sequel and instead make a shift to television. Other than what I thought, this is a good entertainer for little kids. So it should be watched by them more than their counterparts. _5½/10_
