The Millennium Bug

Great B movie SALUTE!! I have missed this format of movie making , CGI has gotten old and too expected in a flick. This is hands on monster model making and blood and gore. ...a lot of good old fashioned hands on work was put into this flick. I didn't know what to expect from this rare find of a flick!! This obviously took hard work and dedication to an old way of movie making not practiced for a long time due to digital taking everything over. the digital world is fine when used properly and it has its place. Great blood and gore effects through the whole movie!! John Charles Meyer kicks ass in his character does the rest of the cast!!

This is really underrated this movie is a fun ride as a whole. as a sci-fi horror fan iam satisfied with this movie. i always prefer watching movies over 5/10 but this is an exception

I am not a huge horror movie fan but definitely enjoyed this film. And I love the fact that the monsters in this film are man made and not computer generated. It makes it all the more fun. Being an independent film it was closely and precisely made so it looks like it can be a big budget film. The actors were fantastic and delivered. I can really tell the production team are very creative visually! I don't usually write reviews but had to write about this one, because this film cannot be overlooked. If you like CGI free films, great acting, bugs and scary looking monsters, you will love this film. And I think I am in love with Orpheus!

I happened to find this movie by sheer random luck and decided to give it a go, despite the fact that I didn't really have any hopes for it, given the fact that it did seem to be one of those awful Sci-Fi movies just from the presentation on the cover.

And I will say, now that I have watched it, that it could have been worse. "The Millennium Bug" actually turned out to be a semi-enjoyable movie, which was a nice surprise. And what made it so was perhaps a combination of the way-out-there storyline and some of the colorful characters; here I am thinking of the folks living isolated out in the forest, of course.

"The Millennium Bug" is not a movie that boasts any kind of impressive special effects or CGI, not in the least. The effects in the movie were, from what I reckon, all physical effects, meaning that they didn't resort to using CGI. And that is in itself an impressive feat, as some people cling on to the old school type of effects. But compared to other movies from 2011, then "The Millennium Bug" is hopelessly outdated.

And while we are on the special effects, then I will say that the creature effects were actually good enough, despite the fact that the humongous creature looked like something taken straight from a child's drawing.

This is hardly a movie that you will pick up and watch for a second or third time. Once you have seen it the first time, that is basically all you need. This movie just simply doesn't have the contents to support more than a single viewing.

"The Millennium Bug" had some good moments here and there, and in my opinion it was mainly some of the quirky characters that salvaged the movie and made it sort of watchable and semi-enjoyable.

All in all, then "The Millennium Bug" scores a less than mediocre rating from me, landing on a four out of ten stars.

From start to finish, The Millennium Bug is fun and full of surprises! Any fan of horror movies will finds lots to love about this movie. The Millennium Bug creature itself if very wildly imaginative and awesome on screen dishing out brutal creature kills. There are plenty of imaginative gory kills and great one liners peppered throughout as well. One of the best parts of the movie is the Crawford family, especially Billa Crawford played to a perfect redneck villainous pitch by John Charles Meyer. Hopefully I won't have to wait another 1,000 years (how long it takes a Millennium Bug to reach maturity) to wait for another movie from the writer/director Kenneth Cran. Definitely a movie I can't wait to add to my collection.
