Based on The True Meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex, Home is a harmless entertainer that appeals to all age groups. The
basic storyline is derivative with shades of E.T. but since it is a breezy
film, it ends being an enjoyable joyride.
A bunch of aliens called Boov who
look a lot like minions, take refuge on planet earth. They are on the run from
the evil Gorg and relocate mankind to colonies in different parts of the
planet. Tip (voice of Rihanna) a teenage girl manages to hide from the Boov’s
and she meets Oh (Jim Parsons) a Boov who has inadvertently sent the location
of his fraternity to Gorg and hence trying to evade arrest.
After the initial bickering, they
strike a friend ship and join hands eventually to save the day.
Even though it is a formula based
predictable film, Home has its moments. An action set piece on the Eiffel tower
is remarkably well executed and on the animation front, the color changing
Boov’s add more flavour to the visuals. The Boov way of speaking English is a
reminiscent of Yoda’s and perhaps it is done to target the adult audiences.
On the whole, Home will make you feel at home at the
cinemas.
