I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The first must-see film of the year.

This movie is just garbage. Sorry if this counts as a spoiler, but there's no discernible plot other than "giant insects are attacking." Most of the characters are interchangeably bland and non- important, so I'm not even sure how many are left unless they're all together in one room for a headcount. The main character is supposed to come off as funny (I guess) but ends up being just obnoxious, like if Ryan Reynolds had his IQ bumped down 30 points or so.Worst of all, however, is that this movie doesn't know what it wants to be. Is it a monster movie? Is it a spoof of a monster movie? Are the rampant clichés put there on purpose, or is it just a lack of originality? Do the characters do and say deliberately dumb things because it's supposed to be funny? Or was this movie written by people who have no idea how real humans act?On the other hand, the special effects are well-executed. Whoever did the insect effects in this film could be on the crew of a Naked Lunch remake. Other than that, I'm not sure how this film has gotten such great reviews, except that maybe most people who like good films have never heard of it. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time with this trash heap straight out of Amateurville.

The CGI looks a little cheap but it is effective. There's nothing too exciting too look at except for the giant bugs. Not the best mix by a long shot. Also not the worst. The bass was pretty poor and dialogue not appropriately prioritised. Then again it did the job, used the surround and was never bad. There was no story! It was just giant bugs and people trying to survive them. It wasn't that funny, they are much funnier monster movies. It starts very quickly indeed. It's pretty forgettable. The ending was very annoying. Not a brilliant film, it is just a film with giant bugs and silly gore.

Irresponsible slacker Cooper (Chris Marquette) is in the process of getting fired from his crappy job when a strange noise renders him unconscious. Waking up several days later, wrapped in webbing, he frees himself only to discover that giant insects have cocooned everyone for miles around, storing them for food. After freeing several other immobilised individuals, including his boss's sexy daughter Sara (Brooke Nevin), Cooper and company set out to locate their nearest and dearest.Oversized insects have been terrorising the world of movies ever since the '50s; Infestation doesn't offer anything particularly new to the genre, warming up a hodge-podge of ingredients borrowed from many a big bug movie (Starship Troopers and Eight Legged Freaks automatically spring to mind).The resultant narrative is a bit of a mess, hindered by awkward editing, pointless exchanges of dialogue that affect the pacing, and plot threads which end abruptly; however, plenty of huge chitinous creatures (including several cool human/insect hybrids), a likable cast, a smattering of gore, and even a spot of gratuitous female nudity (courtesy of blonde weather girl Cindy, played by Kinsey Packard) ensure that Infestation proves to be a reasonably enjoyable slice of B-movie nonsense nonetheless.

I hadn't heard anything about this film before I saw it. This made for quite an interesting viewing experience. Set in a town somewhere in America, Cooper, a bit of a waster, is about to be fired from his job when a piercing noise knocks everyone out…Cooper wakes up to find himself covered in some kind of white webbing. He pulls it off himself only to be confronted by a three foot long insect that immediately attacks him. Having fought several of these bugs off, he goes and finds his boss, Maureen, who is disorientated. They figure out they have been out for several days and Maureen suddenly remembers her daughter, Sara, was outside in a car. Cooper goes outside to get her but Maureen follows and is crying out when she is suddenly taken away by a flying bug. Cooper and Sara make it to a diner and, having woken everyone up there, decide to go to his father's house, about a days' walk away. They also discover that the bugs can't see, they only react to sound, so it's very important to stay quiet. The group consists of Cooper, Sara, Cindy (a weather girl), Hugo & Albert (father & son) and Leechee (a student). The set off and make it to another building before nightfall. Cooper makes it no secret he's interested in Sara, but she rebuffs his attentions. They decide to capture one of the bugs and test its venom. Leechee does the test and they find it's mostly a sedative. The next morning they move on but Leechee stays behind to wake more people and study the bugs further. The journey is dangerous and more revelations are to be made, but I'll stop here, don't want to give too much away!I was quite surprised, for a B-movie type film, it's pretty well made. The effects, although not the best, aren't all that bad. The dialogue could have done with a bit more work, but there were one or two good one-liners in there. Decent performances from all of the main cast, honourable mentions go to Chris Marquette as Cooper, Brooke Nevin as Sara, Kinsey Packard as Cindy, E. Quincy Sloan as Hugo, Wesley Thompson as Albert, Linda Park as Leechee and Ray Wise as Ethan (he had the best comedy lines).This wasn't a bad movie, but it wasn't great either. I think the main problem was I didn't particularly like Cooper at the beginning, he grew on me as the film progressed, but I still didn't find him particularly likable. Also, the big fight at the end was a bit of a let down. So, over all, it's got a few laughs, the CGI is pretty good but it has some poor effects towards the end. Not bad, but not great.My score: 5.3/10
