Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

TheLittleSongbird After seeing Locusts out of curiosity, I have to say that I didn't find it great or terrible. My general reaction was that it had moments, but pretty lame on the whole. The scenery is great though, and the photography is not too shabby either. Lucy Lawless and Mike Farell try their best too, and both are decent. However, the script never feels as though it is naturally flowing and a lot of it sounds cheesy, and the story is unsurprising(the ending is one of those that you can smell a mile off), often ridiculous and the suspense factor is simply lacking. The characters are clichéd and don't have much personality, and while the acting isn't dire as such it is no great shakes either. The effects I have seen worse around, but they have a campy and artificial look to them that hinders seriously any scene that has them.In conclusion, I can certainly think of worse movies I've seen but I can't say I recommend Locusts. 4/10 Bethany Cox

Paul Cartwright Just finished watching this and its a pretty bad film. A poor storyline, a rubbish script, and another low budget film where everything goes well for the good, and the bad get punished or learn a "valuable" lesson (even though really it was the leading female characters fault for closing down the research in the first place). The leading female character is always right and seems to be an expert in every field telling people what do (another low budget trait). This film just regurgitates all the bad things about low budget disaster movies. Its a shame because if this had been directed and scripted in more of a unique way, it could have brought back feelings of the old B movies about bugs etc.

Norm As an electrician, the final resolution for the posed problem is not just beyond possibility... It's beyond reasoning and certainly not plausible except to the most uneducated or jaded viewer. And to partially blame the hybrid hopper on Australia! Who writes this stuff? The premise, while fantastic, could have been much better executed. For all intents it appears that the writers have taken their 90 minutes of screen time, built their story (albeit thin), executed the major plot points (how did the bugs survive the truck on the airfield tarmac?) and then tried to coast home on some pitifully thin technical excuse for a solution. Thank goodness for weather balloons, silver streamers & diverted voltage!!! Give me a break.

RogerBorg And frankly, she's not that great in it, despite the skimpy outfits that they squeeze her into during the first act. In a couple of scenes, I had to look twice to be sure it was her. She looks and acts completely generic, but you can hardly blame her for choosing not to try to rise above the pedestrian script and direction.In fact it seems like all of the made-for-made-for-TV-movie cast are just sleepwalking through this yawnfest, apparently resigned to never rising above appearing in this kind of dross. The level of urgency and interpersonal conflict they display is about the same as I experience when trying to negotiate splitting a pizza with my wife.The production values are shoddy; it looks like it's been cobbled together from the cutting room floor of a particularly badly botched X Files episode, right down to the teletype-style scene captioning. The soundtrack in particular is irritating rather than stirring. And as other commentators have noted, it's embarrassingly obviously bankrolled by a mobile telephone company: nobody uses a landline in this movie, ever, even in a hospital bed.I'm hard pressed to determine what the point of this movie is supposed to be. It's not frightening, its not funny, none of the characters are sympathetic, it builds no tension and it begins and ends nowhere interesting. It just grinds its way towards a pointless and trite conclusion and it's really a relief when it's all over and the mercifully brief credits flash across the screen.
