When Earth is taken over by the overly confident Boov, an alien race in search of a new place to call home, all humans are promptly relocated while all Boov get busy reorganizing the planet. But when one resourceful girl, Tip, manages to avoid capture, she finds herself the accidental accomplice of a banished Boov named Oh. The two fugitives realize there's a lot more at stake than intergalactic relations as they embark on the road trip of a lifetime. (20th Century Fox UK)

It's not an exceptional cartoon, but I got exactly what I wanted from it. It's an entertaining enough film, with a fairly interesting plot that struck me as original, even compared to other recent space-themed animations, of which there have been quite a few. Jim Parsons is great in his voice role, as is Rihanna. I had fun, I was moved, and everything fell into place. ()
A thoroughly average animated film intended primarily for children. Adult viewers will not enjoy it much, except for a rather imaginative scene with the Eiffel Tower and Steve Martin's voice. And those annoying songs!! ()
Beautiful job! The charming characters are a joy to watch and it's not hard to fall deeply in love with them despite the very childish humour, through which the hilarious adult jokes only dimly shine through. The story of a peaceful invasion and escape from a formidable enemy, which entertains with its simplicity and directness, is very effective, and so is the endearing nature of the alien race Boov, whose scared and stupid leader is simply hilarious. But what pushes the film above the average of its genre is, ironically, its most famous motif of the representatives of two completely different races befriending each other – the leading duo is charming, they complement each other well and go through an imaginative development crowned with the touching and beautifully positive finale that everyone wants to see so badly. I also enjoyed the hilarious incorporation of modern songs and the originally packaged moral message… Great fun :) 80% ()
I came to this film through the short Almost Home, which, though in an average package, gave a harbinger of an animated film one might like to see. What I liked most about At Last Home was the fairly imaginative premise and the decent soundtrack, which had some groove. On the other hand, the film lacked funny scenes, as I didn't laugh from the heart even once, but rather just smiled (mainly because of the cat). Moreover, at the end I felt that they were pushing a bit more on the emotions, which seemed unbalanced, considering that the first part was not very humorous. A plus point perhaps for the quite surprising twist at the very end (with Gorgy). All in all, an average animated film that neither offends nor amazes, and is suitable for a free afternoon. ()
