Monsters: Dark Continent (2015) Review

Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews! I know, the break was a bit longer but I have so much work to do these days that I didn't have time to make this review. And it was, also, Valentine's Day this week, so another reason. OK, the main question about this movie is why the hell it was made? It wants to be a sequel to the hit indie movie "Monsters" from 2010 (review is already posted). But it fails miserably at everything. The 2010 movie was an innovation and it had great political themes. This one is a bland movie, with a simple plot, no character development, no exposition of any kind and without the monsters. The monsters are pushed in the back so they can focus on a stupid war story, that has all the war movie cliches. The action is not that exciting, is boring most of the time, no emotion whatsoever from any character. It has a single scene that can get you out of the sleeping state that this movie is putting you in. It's a scene that involves insurgents and the military. It's a pretty tense scene and the action is fairly good. The rest of the movie is just a boring mess. It wants to be a combination between "Cloverfield" and "The Hurt Locker". I don't see any of these movies in this. It's a bad movie. Waste of money, time and film. 3/10

OK guys, that is all for today. I think the next review is going to be on Saturday and it will be "John Wick". Take care and keep on reviewing!
