Review of Monsters: Dark Continent (2014) by Steven Y — 15 Mar 2015
This movie surely will fly far, far under the radar. I saw the trailer for this film a year ago and it caught my eye back then for the brief visuals of the giant monsters amid frightened soldiers. This however, is ultimately not quite what you get with this film.
Many critiques I've seen regarding this movie leave me wondering if I watched the same movie that the review was written for. Some claimed it was "just another mindless "ooo-rah" soldier movie.
I cannot even begin to disagree more strongly. I believe that like the monsters in the film, the true heart of the story is lying just below the surface. In an industry littered with flashy over the top visuals and big name stars; Monsters delivers a metric ton of emotion and depth into a field that will unfortunately not give this great movie the chance it deserves.
