Asylum Films
I didn't list the directors name above because it really doesn't matter. For the first time though I did list the production and distribution company Asylum films. They are the machine behind such films knockoff as Transmorphers, The Day the Earth Stopped and Snakes on a Train.
MS vs CS really has not plot. It is a bunch on segments of military men and wild animal hunters traveling the globe tracking two over sized animals and trying to kill them. Maybe. Nothing in this movie really matters. FOr Christ's sake TV's Urkel "stars" in this movie.
I'm not sure if you are familiar with the Cinemax late night shows Busty Cops? MS vs CS is like Busty Cops without the boobs. It is soft-core porn minus nudity. I kept getting the feeling that any minute the top heavy female lead was going to find an excuse to disrobe but it never happened.
I am not usually one to complain about continuity problem, but MS vs CS was so poorly thrown together at one moment CS stomps on a guy and smashes him. The footprint left behind was roughly the size of a sedan. Later in the movie he stomps on the Gator Bowl football stadium and both feet take up the entire building. There are about 1,000 other examples of this in the film if you care to watch it. I was reminded of The Aviator and the scene about the clouds. They needed clouds in the background so that the viewer would have a reference point to see how fast the planes were going. The problem here is that we were given to much to compare size with. Of course the real problem here is that this film and its creators didn't care.
There was moment were I thought we were going to get a bad retelling of the King Kong story, then a bunch of random, stupid stuff happens and I lost all interest. Also because the CGI was SO bad the monsters just popped up on screen. The film makers truly have no sense of how to create tension or conflict. Even a cheap, low budget film can do that.
Asylum Films cranks these cheap knockoffs out in an attempt to fool the consumer who do not pay that much attention. They have built an empire on mistakes. I guess I have to give them credit for that. I give MS vs CS ★1/2. It is not even "so bad it's good" good.
