I don't watch movies critically - I nearly always find a scene, dialogue or gesture, that gave me the feeling not having wasted my time. The impression left by "Monsters" is pure boredom.
We bought the movie on DVD for a nice SciFi-evening in front of the TV. But we were misled by the title and the stated genre "SciFi". Two persons traveling from A to B - wouldn't it be better called "roadmovie"? But where is the change in the life of the protagonists? Where is the "drama" of two young persons traveling together? No growth, no development ...
Heading north from Mexcio - from the jungle to the city. The question is simple: Who are the monsters? That's the metaphor? Poor!
And the aliens? Okay, I don't understand why they need aliens for the plot. An uproar would have done the same for the story ...
When the movie ended I was the only one who didn't sleep. But I was wondering if I could be an actor: It can't be so difficult seeing Scoot McNairy and Whitney Able stumbling through jungles and reciting platitudes.
