Just saw this flick (Netflix rental)...
I vividly remember Sandy Collora say in his recent Hunter Prey screening...that he didn't really liked Monsters....that it was your same old tired monster flick, etc...
Well...I started liking it...reminded me of The Mist...had plenty of dread & giant creatures (correction, giant octopi).
However, I started noticing the "little" things that really started to annoy the hell outta me.
I'll list the top five gripes:
1. Why in the hell didn't the couple just board a bloody plane?
2. Why did the female lead keep saying, "What's that?" ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? You just spent months in Mexico watching the bloody news of giant space monsters!!! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THAT???
3. Since when are there tropical forests and Mayan pyramids in the Mexico/USA border? SINCE WHEN??????????????? The filmmakers seriously need to take both Geography & History 101...or it was just simply a case of convenient laziness.
4. Once they make it to the USA...after walking and not eating and drinking for countless days/miles...they both arrive at an abandoned gas station with a convenience store...and get this...the store is full of drinks and food...yet they don't bother with any of that...and instead...start yapping to each for a long boring arse time...then make phone calls. ARE YOU SERIOUS???
5. The ending blew chunks!
It had flashes of brilliance...but I just couldn't get over the "little" things.
I could've forgiven all the annoying "little" things...but cannot forgive the idiotic Mayan pyramid in the jungle scene in Northern Mexico...that's like placing the Statue of Liberty in San Francisco...good grief...I absolutely HATE stupid crap like that...
