    I hate when characters in movies don’t know the simple rule of gun use to never point your weapon at your team. Then again its an Asylum film so the fact they know how to say lines without a teleprompter is shocking.

    Honestly, the giant lizard's design is pretty good. Like, if the effects team had more time to work on it it could've looked really good. Not a thought I expected to have regarding an Asylum movie.

      I can't recall the names but I have seen one or two of their movies that might have been good if they put more money into the effects and the acting. Sometimes they're frustratingly close to a decent or even good movie if they just had more money.

    Sad thing about Asylum films is that, as bad as their effects are, they are miles ahead of the acting of the human cast. Most of the time it feels like I am either watching a school play or people read from a script during a costume party.

      @@jamesduncan6729 very true. funny enough, I've seen the Rampage movie, and it's a hot steaming pile of shit. which is ironic given that people say it's good, which is why I tend to be skeptical over what people say about films, especially popular opinions.
      the Rampage movie is just basically The Rock in a Frankenstein monster of a plot taken from current popular film, and it even does a terrible job being consistent with the games. just because they put a Rampage arcade machine in the bad guy's main office, doesn't mean I'm going to give you a pass movie!

    Like others have said, the monster design is pretty nice. Nothing like a gila monster but it actually resembles an updated version of Varan, which I like.
    Sadly, it looks like this movie suffers from the same problem way too many Asylum monster movies do: a massive dearth of monster stuff. You know, the one thing people would WANT to see. Looks like Decker saved me 90 minutes.
