Monsters

This movie had some promise, but it flopped hard. The CGI monsters didn't look nearly as cool as the cover art, though they were interesting.

The cast is full of cliches. The bada$$ woman who can beat up a trained fighter holding a knife while she is barehanded. And not get a scratch. Her guy friend is a wimpy coward who literally falls to the ground to cringe at the main guy's threat.

Now, I know that it is translated in the subtitles to English, and they may not be 100% accurate, but the gaudily clad woman keeps talking about a TV show, which makes no sense. Perhaps it should have said virtual reality. The various incarnations of our cast is also confusing, as it isn't properly explained. The ending is also stupid.

A competently made but dull as hell film with weak performances (but that's more likely due to the script). The CGI monsters are uninspired and about the only thing truly going for the film is some of the action choreography. For the most part, the characters are dull as well. The film involves sisters where one of them gets sucked into an other worldly portal by accident and the other sister waits (a long time) for the portal to reopen so she can save her sister. When the main character does get a chance to enter the portal to find her sister, a couple other characters end up their as well and they not only have to battle monsters but various alternate versions of themselves over and over again. This is a poor man's version of MONSTER HUNTER without the fun and great action sequences leaving this film as a complete dull and boredom.
