I liked this movie. It was something new for the monster genre and who could dispute the facts of the story if it happened centuries ago? I was thankful that the scenes moved steadily because when they didn't you lose interest right away. I also like the fact that the monsters attack in broad daylight but that was taking a risk. Why? You lose the fear factor that comes with not being able to see for sure. If there was more care given to the story line, perhaps some time spent in the enemy camp like where is it, what do they do and how they live plus more history on what happened centuries prior this could have been a nice contender similar to the Pitch Black monsters in the Riddick flick. I was curious why they didn't have sub-titles for the Chinese speaking parts. I had to guess at what was happening. For the amount of money spent here, they could have made this into a 2 hour movie that could have had sequel potential for the monsters. The stars in this movie look like they went along for a paycheck more than their resume building. Interesting as when I was watching, I knew this would do well in China etc. but what about us? Never the less, I was captured for the hour and forty five minutes so I have no gripe. This is not a see it again movie by the way. One time and your done here and I mean for decades! Have popcorn, sunflower seeds or anything that keeps your hands busy or you might start biting your nails at some parts. Include a tasty drink to wash it all down. Now, lets go kill some monsters
