MONSTERS (Theatrical Release UK 2010)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.4|5.0 Starsììì

Monsters—a budget film with an attitude—really tries from a fairly good start with American Armed Forces driving a Hummer down an empty, darkened street where they encounter an alien. Other soldiers evacuate what appear to be injured civilians. Then the film cuts several times for the Director and Actors’ credits. Then we witness a missile heading toward the alien. The film cuts and we are given the film’s title, Monsters.
