Monsters - Kritiken

Edwards is brilliant at evoking the awe and beauty he has been building toward, and at last we fully realize the film's ambitious arc.

...a testament to what the latest technologies allow filmmakers to do...

...measures up to the finest indies for performance and character-work, and the biggest blockbusters for jaw-dropping effects. And it has the year’s best sex scene, too.

This is a very postmodern sci-fi, with its downbeat approach to the monsters themselves, but with a hugely involving love story.

Lyssværd og rumskibe er tilsidesat til fordel for en mere realistisk tilgang, hvilket også afspejles i filmens stil med håndholdt kamera og on location-optagelser.

Their slow burn is beautifully understated, and McNairy especially is a revelation as the semisurly Kaulder...

Jag gillar tanken bakom "Monsters", att göra en mer lågmäld alienfilm med ironisk titel som ska få oss att ifrågasätta USA som världsmakt och människans rädsla för allt som är okänt.
