    Monsters

    I kinda liked the film, but felt the 'romance', which is really supposed to be the back bone of the entire film, just fell absolutely flat on its face, so sort of spoilt the entire movie really. And that's odd considering they're a couple (now married) in real life!

    Also, the tension that should have been there at times, simply wasn't.

    Did I enjoy it? Yes. But it could have so easily have been so much more dramatic had the main two characters actually had a bit more chemistry. I think the writing let it down...


    For the budget, it's absolutely astounding ($500,000)! And the effects, all done in a bedroom, are breath taking!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I rather enjoyed it as well. I thought, for a low budget flick, the effects were pretty good. I watched it on the HDNet channel special preview. I showed a friend and he thought it was pretty good as well. If I had paid $10 to see it in the theater I might have a different opinion... its funny how paying for something does that.

    The effects (for a guy in a bedroom) were astounding!

    Shame the lead couple just seemed to have so little chemistry! If the story/writing had bound them togethor tighter over the journey, the film would have been as amazing as its effects!
