Reviews By Critics For 'Monsters: Dark Continent'
Mark H. Harris | About.com
The CGI effects are sensational, teaming with the beautiful,
landscape-rich cinematography to create some stunning imagery. It's a
shame it feels underutilized with this script full of war clichés and
unsympathetic characters.
Martin Tsai | Los Angeles Times
Although Edwards is onboard for the new "Monsters: Dark Continent" as
an executive producer, the sequel bears no resemblance to his original,
thematically or stylistically.
Charles Bramesco | Movie Mezzanine
...the film turns into something along the lines of American
Alien-Sniper, but without the endlessly arguable ethical ambiguity.
Travis Hopson | Examiner.com
Katie Rife | AV Club
Plays like a dorm-room answer to modern war films, complete with the
constant profanity and masculine hysterics that pass for impact in an
immature script.
Rob Staeger | Village Voice
It's taxing to watch, and Green moves between scenes with Malick-inspired ellipses, frustrating momentum.
Leslie Felperin | Hollywood Reporter
Whatever the filmmakers' subtextual intentions may be, the film
certainly gets stronger and more compelling as it goes on, thanks in
part to intense emoting on the part of its cast.
Emily Estep | Film School Rejects
There are far better alien movies, war movies, and war/alien movies
than Dark Continent, which never hits the marks of its 2010 predecessor.
Kim Newman | Empire Magazine
This works as a standalone picture with its own distinctive take on
alien invasion but also expands what now seem like a franchise with
potential to deliver more and varied snapshots of human behaviour in
extreme circumstances.
Isaac Feldberg | We Got This Covered
A crushing disappointment that's more war drama than monster movie,
inexplicably distancing its main attractions from the narrative and
letting dull, derivative characters spew even duller, more derivative
clichés in place of any discernible story.
Monsters: Dark Continent Movie Review By MDBReviews
Gareth Edwards' 2010 introduction, Monsters, was situated in Mexico and drew parallels between its legends' endeavors to keep the tremendous lifeforms in the "contaminated zones" and genuine U.S. outskirt arrangement.
This 2015 follow-up, helmed by Tom Green, moves the action to the Middle East, where sometime in the future our latest war against insurgents is now complicated by gargantuan arthropods.
Quiet viewers will be compensated with a stunning night memorial service went by an outsider titan with its own particular plan, which peruses to us as melancholy. Past that, the film opposes any group of onlookers longing for fulfillment or conclusion: The animals remain, the war remains, and every one of anybody's endeavors add up to is passing. Green is by all accounts soliciting: In the face from brutes whose scale and life cycles we can't start to handle, in what manner would we be able to permit our kindred individuals to be so mysterious!
