I actually watched it through to the end, mistakenly thinking it had to get better. I was wrong. Besides the strangely disjointed 'emotional' moments, there is virtually nothing in the movie involving its namesake, the Monsters. The so-called story is pretty much just a few scenes taken from much better war movies. At one point in the movie, a wound actually changes sides on the actor's body, which tells me they didn't even have anyone paying attention during editing.

It's like the Hurt Locker meets The Battle for Haditha, oh and there's aliens thrown in for no reason and feels like a decision forced on the director (maybe by pretending it was a sequel to a good movie was necessary to get the movie made) who wanted to make the most generic, cliched war movie possible.

That was 2 hours of my life I'll never get back. I kept going when I read Sofia Boutella was in it thinking she could add some life to the movie but I should have just cut my loses.… Expand

Simple and unnecessary, Monsters: Dark Continent is an enlargement of a story that did not need it, its attempt of drama with the element of the aliens, only confuses and never fulfills the aspect that promises.
