If you like bad movies for the camp value, you might enjoy this steaming pile, otherwise step carefully around it and keep moving.
I laughed my butt off.
So many glaring errors and "it doesn't work that way"s, I can't imagine the writers did much other than drink and scribble on cocktail napkins.
A favorite was the endless pump action shotgun that never ran out of ammo. A "queen" beetle has to rank up there, too. And the 1980's had better CGI.
This movie could be re-made entirely from clips of other underground/giant insect movies, from the rickety swinging rope bridge to the hang from ledge edge and have your hands stepped on by the bad guy. They really covered every cliché possible from the genre, more to fill time than as any sort of "homage".
I couldn't spoil the ending if I wanted to. You already know it. You'll know every move the movie makes on the way there, too, including all the terrible telegraphed one liners, and the attempt to distract the audience from that knowing - with odd blaster guns and graphic violence - only highlights the fact that there isn't an original moment of the 90 minutes you'll regret having spent watching this.
Stay away, unless you like to laugh at the absurd.
