This week sees the release of 20th Century Fox's new family movie Aliens in the Atticwhich stars Ashley Tisdale.
The film follows six children on a family holiday who must fight off an attack by alien invaders from the planet Zirkon with world-destroying ambitions while the youngsters' parents remain clueless aout the battle.
So who are the kids up against? FemaleFirst meets the aliens!
Skip
Skip is the leader of the Aliens, but he kind of looks like a mean old dude. He’s a freak about a mind-control gadget that can turn someone into a zombie robot. (Luckily, it works only on adults.)
He’s short, chubby and gets mad, mostly at the other Aliens, who he thinks are screw-ups. He really needs to lighten up.
Spike
Spike is a real pain...in the attic. He’s strong, tough, ripped and really, really dumb. He acts before he thinks if he thinks at all.
On Zirkonia, he probably spent a lot of time at the gym, and not enough in class. He’s like the school bully but even weirder looking.
Razor
The Alien team’s only, um, girl, Razor is kind of hot for a Zirkonian. She’s both a 'beauty' and a 'beast.'
She can’t understand why they can’t get the job done the job being taking over the Earth. She can’t believe how stupid her alien teammates are.
Sparks
Definitely the nicest of the Aliens, Sparks is kind of klutzy but you’d be, too, if you had four arms!
The ultimate pick-up artist, Sparks does a lot of different things at the same time and can fix just about anything. (Having four arms is a big help with that.)
He’s not that different from us Earth kids, if you don’t count the two extra arms.
Alien in the Attic is out now.
