SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Jack I thought the first half of this movie was bad - there's a monster that's created by combining an ancient skeleton with the DNA of beetles, or maybe it's a space alien? Both explanations are given. A mad scientist (Jurgen Prochnow) has created this thing as a military weapon (oh yeah, the old completely uncontrollable monster as a weapon gag). A CIA agent and a local doctor / scientist / jungle guide / warrior guy try to stop them. There's just one plot hole after another. At one point the multi-tasking guy and the CIA agent are locked up in a drainage pipe, but escape simply by going to the next exit. They put a guy in a cage to act as bait for the monster, but there are people running around all over the place. Why would they assume the monster would go after the guy in the cage? And on and on. But the second half of this movie is just a really cheap Predator rip off, scene-by-scene. You get two people laying motionless on a beach, and a monster's-eye view of them - he can't see them because, well, he's 99% blind I guess. The Predator couldn't see Schwarzenegger because he was covered in mud which masked his infra-red signature, but these folks aren't covered in mud. Apparently the creature saw Predator and realized that he shouldn't be able to see them. Then there's the scene where the Indian takes off his shirt and rubs something across his chest, preparing to do battle. And the scene where a big piece of tree trunk is hoisted into the air for a trap. Just for variety, they throw in a scene where a helicopter crashes behind our "good" characters and rolls towards them as they run away, very reminiscent of Aliens. Except the scene in this movie is comically bad. I don't see how anyone could watch it without laughing out loud at that special effect. There's also a drawn out death scene that drags everything to a complete halt just when it had finally started moving.Anyway, this movie has nothing to recommend it. Prochnow's evil scientist character is really the only one that's developed to any degree, and of course, he's the one we're not supposed to like.

smecherila Yea , this is a cheap imitation of Predator , that doctor wants to be Rambo , I mean , c'mon , fighting 1 on 1 with that rubber creature , and , about the creature , my rubber duck looks more realistic :D The scene with the helicopter blowing up , I think I can do it better on my PC

westpac Starts by ripping off "Raiders of the Lost Ark," then rips of "Jurassic Park" a little, then finishes by shamelessly ripping "Predator." All three were better movies. Fairly interesting beginning runs out of steam and turns into "mutant chases victims through endless tunnels/hallways/jungles" flick. Jurgen Prochnow totally wasted here, as is the guy who played "The Crow" on TV, who is the de-facto hero here. Creature wasn't bad, but nonexistent budget shows. Helicopter crash so bad it must be seen to be believed. Only enjoyment was for wife who got a kick out of listening to the "native" dialect, which is really a Filipino dialect she speaks called Warai. Otherwise, just awful.

Big_Mike549 Watching this on TV I must say it was done fairly well. Good acting, average special effects with explosions, and a semi-storyline taken from other movies. The lead monster of the film looks okay. Some of the shots done in costume were below average while some of the CGI done at night were passable. The acting was good and made you feel the characters. I was surprised the writer killed off the lead child in the story. But on the down note the movie did rip-off a lot from other films. The African American computer expert is like the clone of Samuel L. Jackson from Jurassic Park. Wearing the same clothing and even has a cigarette in his mouth all the time. And the ending was the same as Predator. The monster is a mixture of a Xenomorph and a Predator. And the helicopter crash was VERY fake. But I enjoyed the movie. A plus is how the script didn't go dull like in Boa and Arachnid. It capitalized off other movies.The bottom line. DNA may not be a masterpiece, and may not work out for everyone but for a late night movie it is more then some may need. 6/10
