6 stars for the Monster!

5 stars for the monster. Another added because the acting wasn't bad. 0 Stars for the story. The story made absolutely 0 sense. Not sure if in Korea it makes more sense and I just didn't get it being an American. I keep thinking about the movie and I don't understand how they couldn't make a monster movie that made the most basic sense. I think they may have been implying the monsters destroying everything were actually humans transformed or evolved or devolved or something; now trying to live among humans. That's my guess, but I really am not sure about any part of the plot's meaning. There was a lot of symbolism and foreshadowing pointing to many possibilities, but they forgot to ever explain the meaning to the viewers. What a waste of an awesome monster. I really think I could sit here for a few hours and take the ideas they presented and write a story that would satisfy viewers. The lake plot was as if someone wrote down a bunch of emotions and story ideas then mixed them up in a hat, drew them and filmed the scenes to match, but never connected any of them together. Very frustrating.
