Beyond the fact that this movie had a 1 Million budget to run on and that the acting and special effects are bellow average, the plot got me sticking to the movie. Considering that people chose to run away from Earth because aliens decided to wipe us for no apparent reason and the fact that the ship ended up on another planet different than it was designated to reach, because of some mysterious intervention, things started to look even more interesting and unpredictable.
In my opinion either the director of this movie had a very bright idea for this plot or he ripped it from a very good Sci-Fi book.
Also using a natural jungle environment instead of some stupid studio or some lousy forest in the back yard, also made the movie more attractive.
About the acting, well maybe monkeys could have played better if they invited some from that jungle. Maybe if they didn't spoke that much and only took action for their survival, it would have looked a lot more real. I have to warn you, the dialog is kind of dumb but I've seen way more worse than this and also the action is kind of Rambo/Chuck Norris style.
The special effects, hmmm.. I've seen some crazy animation in my time done for as less as 10,000 euros, but for a budget of 1 Million this movie was ripped off. They did manage to create some sound effects that made the environment feel like it's not from Earth but being a B type movie, everything strikes you back on how poor the management of this film project was done.
I give this movie a 5 out of 10 because of the unforeseen plot and especially the ending, that somehow made me remember of a movie related to monkeys. So if you rely want to relax and have a few laughs at the bad acting and effects, I do recommend you this movie.
