As far as sci-fi post apocalyptic movies go, I’d say it would fall into the war of the worlds/ quiet place realm. I thought it was well done and quite watchable. The acting was pretty average, but that could be due to screen writing. Definitely left it open for a sequel.

Bad acting, bad writing, bad CGI, and horrible dialogue. Turning it off not even half way through. This is just painful.

Not terrible, but worth a look see.

Intriguing initial premise but the script doesn't deliver. Virtually no exploration into the enemy creatures origins or motives. Instead, most of the screen time is wasted on tired tropes, boring character interactions, flashbacks, and walking from one place to another.

Pretty boring for most part

Oof. Minus half a star for *so many* errors in science - a hard 8000ft line that doesn't vary with eg atmospheric pressure, or e.g. an 8000ft elevation line which is visibly going up and down a mountain. But the original two stars was for a bad plot, bad script, and mediocre-to-bad acting (and I'm not even talking about the monsters).

Not bad, but pretty Script-O-Matic, very standard fair. Even so, nice characters played well by a competent cast. Creepy killers are nice. Wish they would have come up with a reason for the gag; why the creepy bugs couldn't go over 8,000 ft; and why the physicist wouldn't have called it 2,438.4 meters. Nice piece of verisimilitude: The physics nerd has a diploma as a Doctor of Science in physics (not a PhD) and when she's accused of being a professor, she says, angrily "a resercher," which would make sense.

A Generic and I do men Generic scifi post apocalyptic world where you have seen a dozens times before and is truly nothing special.

“Fix it with a line of dialogue” seemed to be the mantra when writing the script, and the biggest hole in the story never gets explained. Do better, Hollywood

The movie Elevation is a beautiful Science Fiction family movie in which a father tries to replace the medicine of his son who has run out of medicine by going to get it in an area guarded by monstrous reptiles that cannot be destroyed until then by earthly weapons. Their only weakness is that they cannot go above 8000 feet. He takes a female researcher with him who is looking for a weapon to fight the monsters. It is an exciting and also innocent film to watch. It would be nice if it would also appear as a book for young people if it is not already and a sequel in book form would not be wrong if it is not made into a movie.

Picked this movie out randomly and I'm glad it happened! Talk about edge of you seat, intense, fun ride. The only disappointment I have with this is that it was not properly advertised. I had no idea it existed. I'd love a second movie, maybe the main two finding or looking for their families while simultaneously trying to figure out where the monsters came from..... a girl can dream

Those pesky aliens attacking the USA again being the only country on the planet. When will they learn?

This movie is really really bad. I never write reviews but I felt the need to warn people.

I can imagine how destructive these robotic beasts can be against the United States military but it leaves so many questions as to how they managed to defeat the most powerful nation on Earth, especially in the sea and space where survivors could stay out there for months in ocean-dwelling ship cruisers and space stations if more than one spacecraft in Earth's orbit. It does fire up the imagination and leaves sci-fi fans wanting more - like where do these robotic beasts come from in the first place

Beautiful scenery, solid story idea, horrible execution. Morena Baccarin does an amazing job in the role of Nina, but her character's story arc felt forced and ham handed, also pointless. Maddie Hasson as Katie was also a good strong character, but her death was inevitable and entirely predictable. Anthony Mackie's character, Will, as the main protagonist was meant to draw the audience in and give us someone to root for, unfortunately there was no reason to root for him, or care about his character at all. Nina's arc revolves around her being a mother who didn't spend the last day of her husband and child's life with them, instead she was working, and this is something she's punished for throughout the movie. Will in his infinite wisdom has left restocking his child's life sustaining medication and equipment to the very last moment, instead of planning on it well in advance. His relationship with his wife shows he doesn't support her ideas at all, it also shows he's selfish and cowardly but that's framed as him just wanting her to stay with him for one more year. Meanwhile his wife, knows full well, that one year is all the time their child has left, unless she gets the life sustaining medical equipment and medication. Throughout the movie it felt like it should have been told from Nina's point of view, as she's the actual hero of the story, instead she's a secondary character who just happens to be along for the ride of following the father as he saves his son's life. Incidentally it's Nina's research that saves humanity. I highly recommend you skip this movie.

This is a decent sci-fi action thriller with some really cool creatures and excellent creature effects. The concept is interesting enough, but not much explanation is given about some aspects of the movie. The movie is also a bit slow in places and disrupts the flow of the movie. The cast is decent and some of the action/creature scenes are really well done.

Yeah, it is an overplayed trope of let's put a "monster" with one weakness we've seen before in Birdbox or Quiet Place.. instead of not being able to look at them or make a sound.. they can't go below 3000 feet. With Anthony Mackie as the lead, I was intrigued, it's the Twisted Metal obsession to be quite frank with you,I really wanted to watch. The sceneries were quite stunning for this type of movie and made me wanna pack up and move to Colorado. I love movies with twists and this takes the cake, not as much as Heretic but still one at the end, needs a prequel back story show of how the creatures came to be and why they are there. The raw emotions of the characters in the apocalyptic setting and how it affects each individual person and the desperate need of community even at the risk of their own lives.

The most interesting character gets killed it seems. Pacing good but the ending so threadbare the audience feels a little cheated. A few obvious continuity errors. The directorial pace and tension makes up for there errors.

Damn, wanted it to be good, but had to stop watching after dialogue became beyond distracting, monsters were very dinosaur-like. Master class in Wooden Dialogue: after having driven humanity to the brink and personally being nearly eaten by said monsters: “I just don’t think we were meant share the world with these things”…..click went the remote.

Cult classic in the making? A deadpan heroine’s journey through an easily decoded maze of ill conceived premises and remarkably creative bullscorpion monsters.
