Plot Summary
Six years ago NASA discovered the possibility of alien life within our solar system. A probe was launched to collect samples, but crashed upon re-entry over Central America. Soon after, new life forms began to appear and half of Mexico was quarantined as an INFECTED ZONE. Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain "the creatures"...... Our story begins when a US journalist agrees to escort a shaken tourist through the infected zone in Mexico to the safety of the US border.

Review
Review
The 2010 movie of 'MONSTERS' was not quite the indie sci-fi flick that I was expecting as it could have been a lot better if it was a different kind of a monster feature and has horror-blazing action. Then it would have been well-liked by
everyone. Instead, all the film focuses is drama and romance between the two characters and there are no scenes that are even remotely scary
or intensive. Even the giant squid aliens are barely the film's main focus and they were part of the backdrop. Because of this reason, this film doesn't really live up to its title.
I'm not like the other critics that loved the movie but here’s the truth, 'MONSTERS' is by far a lacklustre movie generally. I would be better off watching 'Independence Day' because this film was a spectacle that I was privileged to watch over Gareth Edwards' boring debut. 'MONSTERS' is undoubtedly not the best representation of an alien invasion, if you want a real movie that dealt these cliches, go for Will Smith's blockbuster.
