Monsters

This movie sounded lofty. So, naturally, I was interested.

The tag line is "Now, it's our turn to adapt."

The IMDb description says, "Six years after Earth has suffered an alien invasion a cynical journalist agrees to escort a shaken American tourist through an infected zone in Mexico to the safety of the US border."

The Netflix description says, "Six years after aliens invaded Earth, a security force maintains tenuous control in the Infected Zone straddling the U.S. Mexican border."

The plot had a diabolical pattern. Suspense would build to a climax, and then nothing would happen. In fact, nothing continued to happen throughout the movie. There were some romantic gestures in which nothing happened. There were giant aliens that did nothing. There was even an insane old woman pushing a stroller. Then she quacked and woofed and then nothing happened. See the pattern?

If you wish to see great camera work and direction, then you should see this movie. Otherwise, choose a movie in which something actually happens. Tsk, tsk, Hollywood.
