Well what can I say? This was one of those movies that left me questioning the universe as to what the hell just happened in the last hour and a half of my life.
I'm going to come out and say it - this is a bad movie. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't watch it. It left me feeling confused because for a great deal there's some interesting character development and a story that I really wanted to see come into its own. I found myself questioning many aspects of the unfolding storyline, hoping that they would soon be answered. Alas this was not the case and my questions merely exposed some serious plot holes that are skimmed over by taking us straight into the action.
The next confusing thing about this movie is that while the plot drew me in then let me down, the monster in this movie is actually really cool. It genuinely looks fantastic when it comes out to play, albeit its motives and methods are somewhat lacking in any coherent explanation.
All in all this movie starts off feeling like it has some solid emotional substance but ends up throwing it away in favor of becoming a monster flick. The acting is a little rigid and be prepared in the last 20 minutes or so to say goodbye to anything you got out of the bulk of the movie.
This earns a WTF? from me and while the plot is disjointed and unsatisfying it's worth watching just for the sweet monster. 3/10
