Leave Creech the hell alone!
Monster Trucks was doomed before it even opened in theaters. Paramount Pictures repeatedly delayed this family feature from its initial May 2015 release date. The studio finally settled on dumping it in a January 2017 slot. To add insult to injury, Paramount publicly took a $115 million write-down on this movie four months before its North American premiere. Before Monster Trucks even opened, it was deemed an inevitable box office failure by the studio tasked with ushering it out into the world.
The Visuals in ‘Monster Trucks’ Are Shockingly Good Revisiting Monster Trucks a few years later, one immediately notable element of the movie is how well-realized Creech is as a CG creation. She blends into live-action environments nicely and the moments where she has to directly interact with flesh-and-blood co-stars don’t prove so artificial that it jolts you right out of the movie. There’s also a welcome sense of weight to the movements of Creech and her parents.
It's also extra exciting to see some practically realized automobile chase scenes throughout the movie, particularly in a climax where Creech and her parents each get into a car and outrun an army of evil henchmen. The Flash’s finale focused on a pair of Ezra Millers dispatching a bunch of grey CG henchmen in a barren desert.
Because it’s not a re-purposed version of an old TV show or comic, Monster Trucks can’t fall back on these tricks quite so easily. There are no sequel teases here, but rather, the film merely ends on a terrible Phillip Phillips needle drop. There are also no lengthy pieces of set-up for a cinematic universe, while the narrative doesn’t stop dead in its tracks, so audiences of movies like The Flash can cheer over an “unexpected” cameo.
