Scorpius Gigantus

This wasn't a bad diversion if you didn't mind not recognizing anybody but Jeff Fahey. It's what you'd expect in most ways. The Special Forces are called in when Russian mafia try to steal what they think is nuclear fuel, only of course, to have it turn out to be something far more dangerous and unpredictable. I tend to think one CG monster is like the next, except in terms of how cleverly it thinks. I like this one. He was in places I didn't expect (others I did) but most of the time it did what it was asked -- it made sweaty palms. My complaint and it's not really a complaint is not knowing who anybody is. I always like seeing familiar faces. I liked Jo-Bourne Taylor, and there's a guy early on who comes and goes very quickly but the rest are adequate unknowns.

Giant bugs produced by American scientists, that look like cheap copies of the "Starship Trooper" variety, escape after they are mistakenly hijacked by the Russiam Mob. An elite team of soldiers goes after them. Blood and mayhem ensue. There's your plot, but this terrible movie should have never been made. What a pity that the name of Roger Corman was affixed to it, a veteran of movie making who, in spite of low budgets, managed to produce some unusual and entertaining flicks in his day. This is an utter piece of crap. The CGI effects are so bad! Please do yourself a favor and don't bother watching this film. I am adding another line here because of IMDb's ridiculous policy that every criticism requires 10 lines. This film doesn't merit saying anymore.

When i heard that there was a remake of Carnosaur 3 Primal Species,i was excited to watch it.So i bought the DVD and watch and i discovered something, it was more awful than the original.I mean god the acting was atrocious, i think they weren't even taking it serious.I think Jeff Fahey was embarrassed to do this movie because he's a great actor and this is a stupid movie,great actors and stupid movies don't mix very well,thus the special effects was very fake it looks like it came out of a 1970's video game.The bugs looks like the aliens from Starship Troopers.So that's my point avoid this movie at all costs, i even regret buying the DVD. its not even a b-movie it's more like a a z-grade movie.

I rented this to see what it was really like -- and it was just like every other monster movie in the current crop. Experiment on something, it goes wrong, send somebody in to save the day. The girls were cute; the guys were not so competent, the lead was full of himself. It's a carbon copy except for the bizarre language moments, though I kind of liked those too. All in all I had more fun than I should have. I mean once you accept that the bugs are CG bugs, then they're just like every other monster movie out there. Maybe they went overboard with beheading the cute babe, and maybe we didn't need to see the snot shooting out of the bad actor's nose, but it all seemed right to me.

One of the greatest Gigantic Scorpion movies I have ever seen. Really in a class of its own with the CGI used for the Scorpion. At least I think it was CGI, was almost to realistic to tell. The Helicopters were well used and didn't at all look like they were stationery or stock movie footage. The arm wrestling scene was some of the most intense moments I have ever witnessed. And the montage of trap building. Superb.
