Comments: I had heard a bit about Monsters here and there, so I jumped at the chance to watch it tonight. The aliens are really the backdrop of the film, as it's much more of a drama with romantic undertones. It's amazing how good the film looked considering it was made for around $15,000. Gareth Edwards' directing is great, and the cinematography is wonderful and often breathtaking. There were a few moments where I was expecting more action or something more intense to occur, but I guess the budget handcuffed Edwards a bit. Still, Monsters is a solid film that I'll definitely look to pick up in February when it comes out on DVD.
