Does the movie have problems? Yes, but I happily ignore them every time I've watched, which has to be more than 20 times now. I love creature feature movies, and I love monsters that evolve as the movie goes on, so I'm probably biased. Hey, I'm always a Blue Mage in Final Fantasy games when possible, so go figure. I loved the movie so much in fact, that it inspired me to make a role playing game where you got to be one of the creatures, though I also expanded it significantly. The role play has run since 2009 (currently the game is on the Escapist and that started in 2011), and seems to be more popular than the movie itself. I thought that instead of starting off as lizards, they'd start as slimes, but as the geckos evolve as they eat other living things, the slimes would do the same. Instead of ending up as geckos, they'd end up as dragons. So, all in all, I loved this movie. If you're able to watch for enjoyment sake and looking at the high concept and not the presentation, then you won't find many movies more fun than this in the same genre except maybe Mimic or The Relic.
