Review of Monsters: Dark Continent (2014) by Don C — 14 Nov 2015
Ya know why I watch movies with low ratings? Because the ratings are just some peoples' opinions. Give it half an hour, and see if you don't think it's got something. If you give it some attention this movie's surreal undercurrent will affect you.
I admit - it's true, it's got it's share of cliches, and would have been much better without them The characters are pretty decent, and played pretty well. They dead-pan the way they overlook the real danger (the aliens), and it reminds me of the way our real-life foreign-policy "experts" miss the forest for the trees.
Special effects are nothing new, but these aliens are really a cut above anything since the original Alien, IMHO, because the concept is thoughtful and imaginative. Don't let the bad reviews stop you from watching this movie.
