I was excited when I first heard about a sequel to MONSTERS. Then, as I
often do when trying to keep up with all the films I eagerly await, I
lost track of it and all-of-a-sudden it became available. Being a big
fan of the original, I couldn't wait to see it. Now that I've watched
it, I can't stress how much of a disappointment it was.
MONSTERS: DARK CONTINENT is NOT a Sci-Fi / Horror movie. It is a war
movie disguised as a Sci-Fi. And it's not even a very good war movie at
that. It's somewhere in the middle. Very average. The biggest, of very
few, somewhat redeeming qualities was the special effects. The monsters
looked great! To bad they were overwhelmingly used as backdrop props,
looking like a herd of buffalo at times.
I'll never understand why this wasn't just strictly a war movie. It
could have been an above average war movie if the money spent on the
monster effects had been used for a bigger war setting or better
actors. There was just no need for monsters to be roaming in the
background of a war movie, never really posing any threat to the
characters. I don't know what else to say. Very disappointing.
