Campy. But in a 90s way. Not intentionally so, but the stink of the 90s all over it. We looked it up. After 9/11? Uncomfortably close. Duchovny is not mulder, but he is. Plot doesn't matter. Creature movies are good. Scifi movies, where the scary thing is an oversimplification of one reasonably interesting scientific concept, are good. What if the monster kept evolving? Became a microcosm of evolutionary process. That movie needed to be made. It probably already had been.Is it a comedy? Well, yes. It is comedic. But it's like some characters are in a different movie than others. Like a slapstick and a procedural, side by side. Uneasy balance. The mood shifts.Essentially a demo reel for what range of bio monsters you could make with CGI in the early aughts. Looks like a video game, now. This movie tries some weird things, at least. It's pretty dumb, though.

Yes, the bugs are fun. Nice artificial life and Orlando Bloom is entertaining, but the film overall doesn't work. There's zero suspense and no surprises. The aliens just keep getting bigger and smarter and the solution, when it's finally worked out, it's really lame. Movies need a little bit of tension or plot twists or surprises. This one just tries to make it on special effects with essentially no story and it fails.I realize, some people will like this for it's visuals and overt silliness. I wanted more. 2 stars.

And that's it. They pay for it and they own it. Maybe funny, but not enough. Shame. Good cast, though. And that's it. They pay for it and they own it. Maybe funny, but not enough. Shame.

a nice comedy, mixture of classic gags and scientific crumbs, smart, seductive, chaotic , hilarious. a crazy story and a good cast. and it is enough for a show who contains all comfortable ingredients. its success source - the imagination in right clothes. and the memories about X Files creates for David Duchovny a real advantage. Julianne Moore seems be the perfect choice for the cold scientist in search of adventure of her life. but the best remains Orlando Jones as the ambiguous, childish, crazy Harry Block. a film who reminds many invasions or contacts. but who preserves its charm not exactly for originality but for the manner to translate old fears in nice forms.
