just a minute…
The jumps
and “how are they going to get out of this mess” were plentiful. The forward
motion was constant as well, with only a few lulls to catch their (and my)
breath.
If this was low budget, I’m doubly impressed. I never felt like I was
being cheated out of special affects, in fact the graboids were pretty
impressive. They reminded me of Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors
and of course the Dune sandworms. Under the terra firma horror (or is
it sci fi?) structure is something just as interesting.
The reluctant (and
questionable) heroes make good and surprise even themselves. Sometimes it takes
a crisis with insurmountable odds to reveal character.
All in all it was way
better than anything I experienced in Florida.
