Our reviewer loved this monsterpocalypse movie trending no. 1 on Netflix

South Africa Headlines News

South Africa Latest News, South Africa Headlines

Seven years after the Monsterpocalypse, all of humanity has been forced to live in underground colonies. When Joel Dawson reconnects over the radio with his high school girlfriend Aimee, who has been living on the coast 85 miles away, he begins to fall for her again. Joel realises that there's nothing left for him underground, and despite all the danger that stands in his way, he decides he must venture out to find his true love.

The film, which is now available on Netflix, sees Joel Dawson travel from his colony to his high school girlfriend's camp on the surface after living underground for seven years following the monsterpocalypse that resulted in giant creatures taking over the land. I'm talking mammoth snails and queen sand-gobblers. While I realise how silly that sounds, the visual effects, for which the film has been nominated for an Academy Award, made it pretty damn terrifying, often beautiful.

"Agatha 616, yup, an asteroid, heading straight for earth. I know, so obvious. So humanity came together, and we did what we do best: we shot a bunch of rockets at it! And we blew it up! And it was great... but it wasn't," he says in a monologue at the start of the film, explaining how creatures"mutated and started eating us to death".are very much aware of the merging of their genres, so too is; if you watch it expecting anything but that, you'll be disappointed.

Of course, Dylan O'Brien was perfectly cast as Joel; he makes the switch between his comedic and dramatic scenes look seamless.

With that, I want to mention; while the creatures can get pretty scary, this isn't a hardcore movie like thefilms. Sure, there's love and monsters, but there are universal themes of longing and loss and finding yourself again. Minus all the blood and gore, it's a really good family movie that you'll be glad you'd seen, particularly in this here day and age.
