This is a really fun film that never takes itself seriously. It's obvious that everyone in this film is having a blast and it translates well to audience enjoyment.

It's obvious that everyone in this film is having a blast and it translates well to audience enjoyment. If you're looking for a funny movie that pays homage to the old-time monster films, you'd be hard pressed to find a better choice. Mike Mendez has done a great job and I hope he makes more just like this. Expand

This movie is great. The VFX are much better than the usual stuff you see on TV. Funny as hell and tons of action from the first minute. Greg Grunberg (from Heroes) and his Mexican side-kick are hilarious together. Even the music was greatThis movie is great. The VFX are much better than the usual stuff you see on TV. Funny as hell and tons of action from the first minute. Greg Grunberg (from Heroes) and his Mexican side-kick are hilarious together. Even the music was great (starts with a Pixies song!). Recommended to watch with friends while having a drink and laughing your big-ass off! Expand

This movie is interesting and a few scenes were funny. There were a few scenes which were intense and scary too. However, the film's CGI is very bad. Nonetheless, this is a good movie.

Okay so, I don't know how you couldn't enjoy this movie. But I should mention if you go into this thinking that this will be the next Avengers, you're dead wrong. It's not an amazing movie by any standards but it is a lot of fun to watch. TheOkay so, I don't know how you couldn't enjoy this movie. But I should mention if you go into this thinking that this will be the next Avengers, you're dead wrong. It's not an amazing movie by any standards but it is a lot of fun to watch. The acting is surprisingly well done, even more surprising are the big name roles behind some characters Alex (Greg Grunberg), Braxton (Ray Wise), Karly (Clare Kramer) and a few others. The actors do a good job of actually having chemistry, especially Alex and Jose (Lombardo Boyar) who becomes Alex's sidekick during the first act. They have regular banner and it's very believable and surprisingly funny and entertaining. The story is nothing special but it's nothing terrible (small spoilers ahead). So basically the government combined DNA found on mars with fruit but a spider nest was inside and now it has grown to exponential size. So Alex and Jose team up to take it down seeing as the military cannot for some reason that is not worth thinking about. Nothing amazing but not terrible.

The comedy is what makes this movie, if you don't like comedies than you won't like this movie. Although it isn't exclusive to this genre, also engaging in horror and a bit of drama. The genres blend together surprisingly well.

That's all, go watch this movie. It's a masterpiece 9/10. Cgi was bad but not bad enough to take away too much from the movie, it's CGI where you see it and say "Yikes" but not CGI that ruins the movie. Not terrible, but you can tell. But I have to commend the guy doing the practical effects, they are amazing. For such a small budget this movie turned out really well in my opinion.
