STRAP yourselves in because Monster Trucks is about to roll in to Proserpine Entertainment Centre.

Directed by the same person who created Ice Age, the action/comedy is sure to have plenty of viewers jumping for joy as the film emulates the classic 1980s family classics.

Tripp (Lucas Till) is a high school student who dreams of leaving his small hometown and working at the local junkyard owned by MrWeathers (Danny Glover).

After an accident at an oil drilling site lets loose three creatures from below the surface, Tripp encounters one of them in the junkyard and they fast form a bond.

Tripp realises the monster - who he dubs Creech - feeds off of oil and takes a liking to his truck.

Creech's emergence also draws the interest of Reece Tenneson (Rob Lowe), the owner of the oil company, who is desperate to gain access to the oil contained in Creech's habitat.

Tenneson plans to eliminate Creech and the rest of his species, which leads Tripp and his biology tutor Meredith (Jane Levy) on a journey to save their new friend.

Monster Trucks has a big heart and children who like big trucks and creatures will have a blast.
