    this movie would like you to believe its bigger than it actually is, which is part of the charm...mainly due to simple, but impressive special effects you normally wouldn't find in a movie with this type of budget. while watching, you'll notice plenty of times they cut to shots of cgi helicopters flying around...it could be a fun drinking game...and it comes across as nothing more than "look what we can do with computers!" ...it gets old, but you gotta give props for ambition. its a small nit pick for a film that definitely entices you with its characters and situation. and the blu provides more than enough for the AV/special feature junkies.

    YES please! Glad to see the immigration conversation taken in a new avenue. This is not a big budget horror film but it is a smart horror film and if you give it times it'll open your eyes to the mistreatment of immigrants in the U.S.

    Not so much to do about monster interactions , cgi monsters are a minimum. I still enjoyed the story and characters

    Hmmm,how to describe this movie. It's not about scares and frights. It's not really even about the monsters. In fact, with the exception of a handful of sceenes and a stunning climax, you don't really see the monsters all that much. But that makes them that much more awesome when you do.There are a lot of tense moments and drama along the way. Some beautiful scenery and moments. It's a really original movie. I think if you give it a chance you'll like it.

    Really bought into this semi plausible drama right from the beginning and it came my interest and kept me excited right to the end

    Gareth Edwards' sci-fi film 'Monsters' is quite slow-burn in it's pacing, but an overall interesting and intense experience.

    Action is good, the alien invasion is unique and different. I liked it. Not to much the very end, but I did like it.

    Loved this movie, watched many years ago on release in a independent movie festival in Brazil and love it instantly. Really low budget movie made it beautifully with the few resources available. The actors were really good and really helped the story to feel more real and really helped to bring the meaning of the tittle to a better understanding.

    This brilliant thing about Monsters is it's subtlety. It's more about people than creatures.

    The director of "Godzilla" started his Hollywood career with this film shot on the cheap.

    This movie was ok but boring. The monsters were shown very little. Mainly a human story getting from point a to point b.

    Monster movie without more than a hint of the monsters. Not much character development or plot to be honest.

    Low-budget doesn't have to mean low quality. This isn't your quick-action, slam-bang summer sci-fi. This is better than that. The effects near the end are amazing and go beyond realistic into emotional.
