Ten years on from the events of Monsters, and the "Infected Zones" have spread worldwide. Two soldiers embark on a life-altering mission through the dark heart of monster territory in the deserts of the Middle East. By the time they reach their goal, they will have been forced to confront the fear that the true monsters on the planet may not be alien after all. (Vertigo Films UK)

(Overheard in a discussion between two American soldiers on Sunday night patrol at the northern barricade in Damascus) You, brother remember how we used to only have to fight the fucking IS on this goddamn continent? -Yeah, those were the days. Now there’s these fucking monsters and the world is really turning into shit. At least if those pieces of shit wouldn’t look like they were from “Half-Life”, you know what I mean, right? -Sure, you’re right! Here’s me lying in my tent, scared out of my mind that one of those swine will jump on my head and start controlling me. -Exactly! And now imagine we have to fight them while that amateur filmmaker is following us, running here and there when things heat up thinking he will somehow turn that shaky material into film. And now get this, right. I think it’s supposed to be called Monsters – Dark Continent. -Dude. What else would you expect, this place sucks… -You’re right about that too.

Compared to its sequel, the first Monsters (4*) is proper popcorn fun. Anyone expecting a more action packed and viewer friendlier film after watching the trailer couldn’t be more mistaken. Really, it’s not possible to describe in words how awfully boring it is.

I wanted to give it less because the film is unbelievably drawn out, but I still found myself quite amazed by how well done the CGI was. The special effects were good and simply looked good. It's like a mainstream production. It just needs to shorten the runtime a bit and tweak the script a little, and it could reach even greater heights.
