Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

bigblackclocks If you're looking for a movie that's about killing aliens, big explosions and mindless violence, this is not the film for you. I initially thought it might be just a standard action film, but I was pleasantly surprised as I realized that would not be the case. Monsters: Dark Continent is a film that explores various themes, from human relationships, to war and violence. The violence is not the key attraction here. If anything, it makes you realize how pointless violence is and how it just breeds more violence and hatred. The monsters are presented in a way that might lead a viewer to realize that they may not be the villains they are described to be. In one scene, a herd of monsters are running alongside the Humvees when one runs in front of the Humvee and gets killed. We see a monster running towards the corpse in the distance and there is a brief moment where we see the monster standing by its dead companion, almost as if it's mourning. At this moment, I realized that maybe the monsters weren't meant to be villains and that maybe they were not the malicious creatures we were lead to believe they were. This is a fantastic film that has many layers in it.

daveb-60761 I'm baffled where there are so many reviews. I think it's more to do with expectation than of the movie itself. I haven't seen the first Monsters and saw this sequel as a standalone. In all honesty this is a brilliant movie, and here's the reason why:This is a movie about human nature - not aliens. It's about the extremes of people when faced with hopelessness. Whether you take the monsters as literal (ie. there's a fight against aliens in the middle east) or as a metaphor for an unsurmountable and 'alien' enemy fighters, the movie highlights: 1. the sacrifice of ones own identity, sanity, family and meaning. and 2. the senseless waste of 'collateral damage' for the greater good for a war that cannot be won.This realisation occurs to soldier as he watches the alien spores after the child dies, and the image of the commander losing his mind as the unstoppable mountain of aliens rise from the sand.The purpose of the aliens is not to create an alien or sci-fi movie. The aliens could just have well been replaced by a deadly virus, killer asteroid, or zombies. It's a story of human apocalypse, and madness of some types of human behaviour when illuminated by this context.

jacobjohntaylor1 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.

Michael O'Keefe 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.
