A giant monster bird is released after hundreds of
years of hibernation. After wreaking havoc inside
the building of a new tunnel it escapes and terrorizes
the city. It seems as if it's an unstoppable killing
machine, will they be able to stop them? Or is this
the end of the world as we know it?
Wow! What a macho film! This was clearly not made for
the female audience. It's basically just two hours
full of endless shooting and Matrix-like scenes.
Total nonsense for anyone interested in a good story.
This was just an effect filled disaster, and the
thing is, the effects aren't even very good! They
just think that they are. I'm telling you, Uwe Boll
might as well have shot this film.
The acting is absolutely terrible! And so are the
characters! The two persons that they gave us to
root for, Leena and Tim, were the two most annoying
and unlikable characters that I've ever had to put
up with through an entire flick. There's this one
scene where a guy suggests that they kill the girl,
and I was like "yeah! let's do that!" but I guess
they decided to keep the annoying Leena for some
reason. The directing on the other hand is beautiful.
Every scene looks like one of those promo-shots
that are released from films right before they're
released. There is lots of contrast and the film
is just so nice to the eye that you would not believe
it. Even the Garuda itself is pretty nice to look at.
The idea of having a gigantic prehistoric killer
bird on the lose is pretty cool but unfortunately
this tries to measure up with Godzilla, and I'm
talking the remake here. Well, it's not any worse
than Godzilla, but this is still way too stupid
for movie. I'm sorry if I have a hard time
enjoying a movie which consists solely of pointless
shooting at a giant killer bird (which will just
never die anyway), and focusing around two of the
stupidest, most unreasonable characters in movie
history. Maybe people who liked Godzilla will
find some entertainment value in this but I just
couldn't. Too bad, I really wanted to like it.
A guy is shot in the leg... guess that was all.
50% of the movie has quite good bongo drums
playing in the background but the other 50%
of the soundtrack consists of terrible techno-
rock. What the hell? Does anyone even listen
to techno rock?
If you're in for another Godzilla remake but only
this time, Godzilla is a monster bird, then what
are you waiting for, go get this movie right now.
If you, like me weren't impressed by a movie like
Godzilla, stay away from this because this sure
isn't any better. Actually, it's just as bad.
