    I challenge you to sit through this.

    This isn't even Fun Bad, its just bad. I'd even go as far saying its depressing. A giant bug movie should be at the very least, FUN. Not this one. We are forced to sit through endless dialog delivered at a junior high level. What makes this movie sad to me is that it seems like some of the actors really tried, but still sucked. Its like watching a kid at the Special Olympics line up for the fifty yard dash and then proceed to run in circles, for 90 minutes. I really felt bad for Jeff Fahey. What happened to that guy? He made some good movies in the past. The bug effects need to be seen to be believed. They wouldn't have been acceptable in 1983. I can't imagine showing up to the set of this turd each morning. Knowing that you were working hard each day to end whatever dreams you had of a career. At least Dinocroc was fun and didn't take itself too seriously. This movie made me feel terrible. I can't believe I sat through it.

    Scorpius Delicious

    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.

    I Did Have Fun

    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.

    cinemas terribilus

    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.

    Stupid remake

    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.
