Monsters is deceiving via description. To, pretty much everyone, (including me) who reads the blurb, they're expecting some sort of monster movie. An action packed, apocalyptic movie of aliens taking over. However, this movie is not for those looking for... exactly that. This movie is something along the route of deeper, symbolic, and meaningful. Monsters is not really about THE MONSTERS themselves. That is arguably more the sequel. The focus is actually on the two main characters, and their developing relationship with each other. Some have reviewed, Monsters could be also a convoluted way of how the US treats "aliens." When watching this, dont think of it as a monster flick. Take it with a grain of salt, and actually THINK about what the director is wanting to get across. It might surprise you. The movie is paced slow, but that I find personally, intentional. And anything faster would seem, off. The special effects is used where needed and its convincing for its time. Acting, for those who may not know, is uniquely done. Most people (especially the extras) in this movie are locals. Very few actors are actually used in this film. This I find gives the movie a genuine glow_ oppose to coming off as low budget and cheesy. The soundtrack is absolutely gorgeous, probably the biggest applause to this film. One of my favorite movies, because it is not what it seems, and it took my by surprise when I actually researched it. Like I said before_ don't go into this expecting a monster horror/thriller film. Open your mind and imagination, and give it a little thought.

Good story until all of the political junk shows up...at one point the protagonists talk about how much they're not stoked about going back to the protected USA...right after almost getting eaten by aliens...bite the hand that feeds, ya buddy

This movie is so bad. And I mean bad on every level. The only even remotely good is the initial story concept. The acting SUCKS. The script SUCKS. The 2 main characters are both irritating idiots that I kept hoping they would die just to end the movie. Predictable storyline. Don't waste your time watching this garbage. I am shocked so many gave this thing 5 stars! But no accounting for taste!
