For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Better Late Then Never
best movie i've ever seen.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
This film started out mildly entertaining, but rapidly degenerated into an infuriating display of casual sexism w/o relent. The female lead makes Fay Wray look like Sigourney Weaver, the only way she's allowed to move is if the male lead grabs her by the arm and drags her along, he never *talks* to her (which involves *listening*), only *tells* her things, and on and on and on. I finally gave up a little after half way through.
In my opinion this movie had a lot of potential, only if they wouldn't have chosen specific exaggerated, unrealistic development of specific situations in the story. And the low budget cannot be an excuse for that. If you have a good sense of humor you'll actually find those scenes laughable, funny due to their ridiculously unrealistic nature. The funniest sequence is in the end where the giant spider supposedly died from a gas pipe explosion despite the fact that the creature could withstand heavy fire from tanks. Also the other funniest scene is when martial law is in action, the army happens to catch the hero at gun point and he just starts running and "escapes". The computer animations of the spiders are decent. I think it would have been way better it they would have chosen to let the queen spider alone so the could had been able to develop new weapons, and use some existing one to kill the spiders from inside out.
When a meteor shower hits an old Soviet space station in the orbit of Earth, parts and debris crash into the New York subway tunnel near the Noble Street Station. The traffic controller Jason (Patrick Muldoon) sends his colleague Jimmy (Atanas Srebrev) to inspect the damage but soon he is found dead. The doctor finds a bite on his leg and eggs inside his body, and Jason takes one of them to ask his wife Rachel (Christa Campbell) to test in the laboratory where she works. When he goes with the subway security team to the location where Jimmy was found, they discover a nest of strong and carnivorous spiders. Meanwhile Col. Jenkins (William Hope) and the Russian scientist Dr. Darnoff (Pete Lee-Wilson) discuss the special breed of spiders genetically developed in the space with zero gravity that would build a powerful nest that would be used in military purpose. Further, they need the queen's egg that Jason gave to his wife. Then and he lies to the population telling that there is a deadly virus in the neighborhood where Jimmy was found and they hunt Jason and his family. When they recover the egg, Col. Jenkins put it in the nest to raise the queen and decides to execute everyone that is aware of the spiders. Will he succeed in his plan?"Spiders" is a film with a lame and stupid story from the beginning. How can the colonel lie and execute people in a democratic country the way he did? By the way, why execute people? Just to keep the spiders in secret? In a situation like that, why keep powered trails in the subway. The spider queen can resist to machine gun, bazooka, but a traffic operator is capable to contain the giant insect with a steel bar. The corny conclusion with husband and wife forgetting the divorce is also awful. The cinematography and the effects are reasonable but the acting is terrible. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Aranhas" ("Spiders")
How these people qualified as actors no one knows. The acting was awful. This girl kept doing this annoying scream and don't get me started on the ending. Oh yesss we defeated a spider let's link arms and walk down the street. That sums up the ending for you. The dudes friends died you might as well played happy by Pharrel Williams.....he had no emotion hellllo your a human not a robot. Please do not watch it and save your self from a painful death. I know they must have worked hard on this film but come on you have all that money and you create..... that. I was really disappointed.... A great night with my family was spoiled when we could have been watching the 300 amazing films we already have. How this film ever got onto DVD I never know. If you chose to ignore me... Fine but enjoy your slow painful death. Me and my dad where ready to jump out the window. In fact it's sooo funny because it's sooo stupid. Do not watch it if you know what's good for you.
