2016 Directed by Chris Wedge
Looking for any way to get away from the life and town he was born into, Tripp, 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.

I was not excited going into this movie, largely because it was 10 am on a Saturday morning, 10 miles from home, in 10-degree weather. But man, the kids right behind me walking into the theater were excited. They were having this conversation:
"Are you a monster truck?"
"I AM A MONSTER TRUCK!"
"Are you a MONSTER TRUCK?"
"I AM A MONSTER TRUCK!"
"ARE YOU A MONSTER TRUCK?"
"I AM A MONSTER TRUCK!"
As far as I could tell from looking, neither of them was a monster truck. Body dysmorphia keeps getting more complicated every year.
The story of a hunky high school senior who discovers an oil-guzzling sea beast (think “Sesame Street” meets the Kraken), and then knots its tentacles around the chassis of his custom jalopy in a perverse attempt to pimp his ride, “Monster Trucks” seems like such an impossibly stupid idea for a movie that it’s easy to forget how it derives from a rather proud history of Hollywood entertainment. After all, there have been any number of studio spectacles about a young boy, or a teenage boy, or — in this case — an obviously grown-ass man doing a hilarious job of pretending to be a teenage boy — whose frustrated small town existence is turned upside down when he befriends…
if pete's dragon was a throwback to the glory days of 80's-90's speilberg/disney/etc, it's only fair we should also get a tribute to the bargain basement vhs schlock that followed in their wake. it's as ridiculous as any oddity that fell through the cracks 30 years ago, and has a dark streak of violence running through it just as all the great and traumatizing classics do. it has the same grotesque-yet-adorable creature design, the same thirst for mayhem and destruction, the same corny heartfelt moments crammed in between. unfortunately it also has the same disinterest in well-drawn women or poc characters, but to be honest it's very difficult for me to lean into that argument when there are no well-drawn…
Ich bin kein komplizierter Mensch. Wenn der Begriff "Monster Truck" wörtlich genommen wird und engagierte Filmemacher einen Film schreiben, in dem ein Tentakelmonster in einem Truck lebt und als Motor dient, dann schaue ich mir den Film an und habe Spaß dabei.
Lucas Till who looks like he's 30 plays a high school student that rides the short bus to school.
I decided to see MONSTER TRUCKS out of morbid curiosity. Between the trainwreck of a production and the fact this movie was supposed to originally come out in Summer 2015; I couldn't help but want to see the final product. All things considered this movie truly isn't that bad and I liked it to a degree. There are plenty of issues, such as the opening line of my review. It's not even necessary to have him be a high schooler, the fact he's in high school is literally touched upon for about a total of 30 seconds. The script is weak…
I've spent 16 years on this Earth contemplating whether there's a higher being, a "God" you could say.
During Monster Trucks I've came to the conclusion that while this is classed as a film, no god can exist.
A fundamental ambivalence drives Monster Trucks: fossil fuel economies are terrible for all life on earth but some of the products of fossil fuel economies, like large trucks, are cool, so if we were able to do away with internal combustion engines and allow our trucks to be inhabited by tentacled beings who would treat them like hermit crabs treat mollusk shells that would be an ideal solution, maybe.
Despite some stiffness of script and occasional tonal slippage, Monster Trucks is a delightful revival of 80's robot/alien/monster-on-the-run-from-evil-corporation/clueless-feds-gets-helped-out-by-kids movies. Rob Lowe is an excellent evil oil executive but most of the humans here seem diffident and locked-up, especially in comparison to the warmth, humor and range exhibited by the Hollow Earth Tentacle Beasts who are completely awesome.
Fracking is bad. Tentacles are good. If we as a species can learn anything in the 21st Century, that might be a decent place to start.
Like 40 minutes into this movie some shitty folk-rock song started playing and I joked “oh, is this Home by Philip Phillips?”
It wasn’t. Home by Philip Philips came on an hour later.
The moment where the monster trucks all land a jump and, sequentially, the boy cheers, the girl cheers, and the scientist projectile vomits... is one of the best moments cinema has ever produced.
One of my go to so bad it's good's.
A fun, charming, and ridiculous monster flick made by Nickelodeon for the pre-teen crowd. Anchored by a pair of attractive, likable young leads and a supporting cast of familiar faces.
The plot to Director Chris Wedge's 2017 feature film (who previously helmed the likes of "Ice Age" and "Robots") focuses on a frustrated teenager named Tripp (played by Lucas Till, best known for his role of "Havoc" in the recent X-Men films) who works at his tiny hometown's scrap yard. While laboring over his pet project of restoring an old truck, he stumbles across a creature feeding on oil. It turns out the cute monster (resembling something along the lines of a tadpole/octopus mash-up) is running scared because the underground…
HOLY SHIT
That was.......special
The movie is pretty bad, with a shoddy script and mediocre CG. What made this fun was when Ariel muted the film and put the scores for films like it follows and batman begins on. Surprisingly, they fit pretty well lol.
I mean it's a good hate watch but then again, what do you expect from a film called monster trucks :/
the amount of people who make this movie is unbelievable i was like
is that samara weaving????
is that JANE LEVY??????
chris traegar???
HANNAH MONTANA’S BOYFRIEND?
O monstro é bem fofinho, mas a trama não é das mais envolventes e os outros personagens não tem muito carisma. Vale pra passar o tempo :)
i've watched this film 6 times and it still doesn't get any better. fuming :/
I was really stoned and thought I rented a film called “Monster Fuck” but it turned out to be this
“Monster Trucks” is a super silly concept and a pretty goofy movie…but I really enjoyed it! The cast is great, the special effects on the creatures a
re fantastic, the story I found to be very amusing, and it has some surprisingly exciting and entertaining action scenes. The movie is basically a popcorn flick that you can just sit back and tune out with, but I still found it pretty fun.

After browsing through Samara Weaving's filmography last night for a film that I haven't yet seen, I came across Chris Wedge's 2016 Monster Trucks, one of the earlier films that my Aussie Goddess appears in. The film's plotline sounded good and the film had some pretty good actors starring in it, so I decided to give it a go.
The film finished late and I held off my review until today as I needed to think about what I just watched. OMFG! What a fucking mistake! This film was pure shit! At no point was I even remotely entertained by this piece of fucking garbage! On top of that, Samara only had like 1 minute of screen time in the…
Maybe it’s because I watched this hot on the putrid heels of Merry Kissmas, but it didn’t suck as much as I feared. Surprisingly? Not as much monster truck action as I anticipated, either.
