Amazing for its budget and a solid debut offering from the director. Great atmosphere and solid performances. Character driven and quality.
Rly good I love a movie where two characters simply exist in an interesting world and be your window. The romance was not well done tho lol
Brilliant direction teasing the monsters, fantastic understated performances by the two leads
You can see here why franchises keep throwing money at Gareth Edwards. He does a masterful job with a small budget to make it feel bigger.
There's some sloppiness and obviousness, but the confident, naturalistic style and eye for effective visuals give it credibility and power.
Subtle & underrated - just like Scoot McNairy
Impressive moody guerilla film making and visual effects, but unfortunately also slow and boring.
I could have rate it "good" but when I looked at the budget I couldn't help myself. beautiful ending.
I love a slow burn, great tension throughout. Really well done. Apparently low budget, which makes this beauty that much more impressive.
Low budget sci-fi where it's all about the mood. Decently successful at that.

Six years ago NASA discovered the possibility of alien life within our solar system. A probe was launched to collect samples, but crashed upon re-entry over Central America. Soon after, new life forms began to appear and half of Mexico was quarantined as an infected zone. Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain "the creatures," while a journalist agrees to escort a shaken tourist through the infected zone in Mexico to the safety of the U.S. border.
Seven years on from the events of Monsters, and the ‘Infected Zones’ have spread worldwide. Humans have been knocked off the top of the food chain, with disparate communities struggling for survival. American soldiers are being sent abroad to protect US interests from the Monsters, but the war is far from being won.
