What was there to think about? It was just a monster movie that went on and on and on without anything actually ever happening. It was like Cloverfield without any of the action.

 

The film overall was quite average, it's not an action film. It's a road movie/adventure/romance film with a low budget. It's not going to suit your taste if you don't like low budget, non action films.

 

Here is what is noteworthy:

- Low budget, $100,000-$200,000. Only $15,000 on equipment.

- Gareth Edwards shot and edited the entire film also he created all the special effects, in his bedroom on an average computer with 3ds Max, ZBrush and Adobe software. all in 13 months.

- All the extra's in the film, weren't actors.

- Came up with a fresh idea and had a decent plot that is essentially the exact same as District 9.

I love low budget movies, as long as there's at least a half decent story. My favorite film, Garden State, was a low budget film too (albeit not as low as Monsters).

I also loved Saw (low budget at $1.2 million compared to the sequels or most box office films).

And Upstream Color. Had a budget of <$100,000, but was an incredible story and was visually beautiful!

Monsters was just dull. It was visually beautiful for such a low budget film, but the story was severely lacking. I could have had the entire film on mute and gotten the exact same experience.

And comparing Monsters to District 9 won't help convince me. I absolutely hated that piece of crap film. Overrated and absolute rubbish!

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
