Don't Believe the Hype

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

This is one of the most underrated movie ever. This movie is very significant because it shows that people without AN EXISTENTIAL MEANING search for a MISSION where to get it beyond the futility of its daily life by a gun and uniform so to cause and get only DEATH. There is action, meaning and reality in this movie, brutal reality where INNOCENCE is defeated by the hypocrisy of a war fought against the monsters inside the soul of wasted people deceived as well as disillusioned because of the void inside their souls due to a false material life. The soldiers will search for the mission to get a meaning, but they will get the REALITY of their useless life, useless weapons, useless uniform and useless deaths surrounded by the genuineness of life around themselves which they begin to consider as the enemy, so discovering that... the real MONSTER IS THE "puppet" WITH THE GUN (they are the real enemies which manages the gun in order to feel big because they stay small). This movie is too much smart for many people unable to understand and appreciate its meaning.

This is a sequel to a movie called Monsters. This is not a god movie. But it is not has bad has monsters. This does have a very good story line. It has an awful acting. It is boring and slow at times. Do not wast your time. Do not waste your money. This movie is pooh. Who are these people who keep giving it 5. It is not a 5. It is a 4. Do not see this movie. It a horror movie that is not scary. It is a lot of pooh pooh. Do not see it. See Godzilla. See King Kong (1933). Do not see this movie. See Kong skull island. Do not see this. This will put you to sleep.

My expectations went south in a hurry. Monsters take up mere moments of the screen time. The dark continent is now another name for Afghanistan. All the fast forwarding in the world will not make this movie what it is implied to be. But on the other hand, not totally worthless as a war movie.It has been about ten years since humongous tentacled creatures began trying to take over our planet. These monsters seem closer and closer to occupying the entire globe and the military is at its wits end trying to fight these horrid things off. In desperation, the military is lowering its standards for enlisting. Four young men from Detroit think they are hard and smart enough to help the army fight monsters.The writers, Tom Green and Jay Basu, sneak some monsters into the plot that has an American platoon trying to extract ambushed soldiers that are trapped in the alien infested Middle East. I am guessing the combination of the few monsters along with the vulgarity of guts, gore, violence, heartbreak and tribulations of warfare with the Taliban makes for a strong R rating. This movie lasts right at two hours and expect to leave tired. Maybe with more monsters and a bigger budget this could be a real thriller.Cast includes: Johnny Harris, Sam Keeley, Nicholas Pinnock, Jesse Nagy, Kyle Soller, Joe Dempsie and Uriel Emil.

Yes, I'm talking about a sequel to an already crappy movie. Why watch the second installment if the first wasn't even remotely appealing? Well, my fault for being interested in more of the monster alien "invasion". Hopped they'd gotten their game together and pulled a better plot with more points to make about minimum sci-fi twist (where, when and how were they found, a paragraph about alien colonizing ecosystem, etc) as opposed to the multiple, yet undefined genre the first movie was aiming at. I wrote about the first to be uninspired and completely misdirected (somebody said even "cheap" and I think that replaces low budget), but this one is even worse. They tried so hard a repeat of the nonsense in the first they almost crapped themselves. The actors are screaming and making all sorts of noises as if they have some stomach issues and that's almost a spoiler. Worse actors than first installment? Check on negative scale, zero is too much. Sometimes, there are people who excel at something. The people involved in the making of these movies surely excel, but not in cinematography, this is where they suck. Get a DIFFERENT job!
