When "Monsters" Put You To Sleep, The Movie Just Isn't Any Good...

Where's Will Smith when we need him?

The Story:

Aliens have invaded!  They have taken up residence in the lands between Mexico and the United States.  However a journalist (Scoot McNairy) agrees to bring the daughter (Whitney Able) of someone fairly important back to America by traveling through the infected area.

What could possibly go wrong?

ZzzzzzzzZzzzzzZZZzzzzzz.

Welcome to the most boring monster movie you'll ever endure.

I watched the first 20 minutes before invoking the 20 minute rule, and pulled the plug.  Well okay, technically I just walked out of the room and the movie kept plodding along.

Slow, plodding, meandering.  Much like the actors involved.

It kept playing and I periodically checked in on the movie, and from the looks, it never really got any better.

The film is available to stream instantly on Netflix as of this writing.

A very uneven week of movies this time around.  Hopefully next week will be more consistent.

Final Grade: D

Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: No chance for either.
