A powerful theme in the movie seems to be a sense of relief in the destruction of society. I used to have dreams that the world had 'ended' and I was moving through post apocalyptic style landscape, kind of like that Stephen King book about the plague. Those dreams always made me feel really positive, like the things that had held me back were gone, and later I discovered that dreams of the end of the world symbolise new beginnings.

In a way I found the two charectors to be strangely nieve with their tourist style detachment to the dangerous aliens they were seeing. They seemed oblivious to the fact that as the wall couldn't keep them out of America, that meant that they aliens would inevitably spill over and then destroy society as we know it. Perhaps it was a movie about civilizations ultimate insignificance, or how nice it would be if the government, army and corporations just fucked off for a bit??

@ plzletmego87: @ 3:40 in the clip she says "I don't want to go home"

I wasn't until I watched it a second time that I realised it was Andy and Sam in the Humvee at the very start. And everyone just ignores him. Argh!

[fredericsnooks666]

@NoufDogg :yeah, after all that, she dies!! I showed this film to a Latvian friend of mine, and he thought it was totally boring, just people wandering around talking shit. I said, "what about the emotional impact of realising that she dies at the end?" and he shrugged and said, "shit happens!" - go figure.......

The movie is not at all about Monsters FYI, the movie has a greater meaning to it.

[timmewhat]

i must not have paid attention to the very beginning because the final scene did not bring me to the opening scene.I found and article review that explained the movies end and tying into the opening scene.they both die ,not just the girl

Best movie score Ive heard in a very long time. So melodic. I could listen to this all day.

@fredericsnooks666 i dont feel like it was a tourist style when they were looking at the "monsters." through out the whole movie the male character is focused on taking pictures and mentioned how he wanted to get a picture of a alive one. Instead of going for his camera at this scene he just stares in awe of the creatures. Thats why i dont think they were naive or touristy, they were just in awe of nature.

Quote from Roger Ebert....."Edwards is brilliant at evoking the awe and beauty he has been building toward, and at last we fully realize the film's ambitious arc. I think the lesson may be: Life has its reasons. Motives are pretty universal. Monsters are in the eye of the beholder."

..... well said
