Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaScott Adkins was rehabilitating his knee from an injury and taking a break from making action films, hence the lack of big stunts and fights on his part (which was not what the project was about anyway).
- GoofsHarker's opening narration ran: "Biologists will tell you that every living creature on the planet has been discovered, that there's no room for surprises--if you don't count bugs, that is."
In fact, many new non-insect species are discovered every year. In just the year 2016, over 18,000 total new species were discovered. In the first decade of the 21st century, over 300 mammals alone were discovered, including monkeys in Tanzania and Burma and a leopard in Indonesia. Biologists fight to end deforestation and global warming because they know how much potential there is for further great new discoveries like these.
- Crazy creditsSome of the opening credits are shown over swirly, funkadelic, psychedelic animated blobs...

Featured review
With its current rating of 3.7, I think it's pretty safe to say that anyone going into this movie willingly is either a Adkins or Lundgren fanboy/fangirl. And, with the listed adventure/sci-fi premise, we should know to set our expectations accordingly.
This is a cheesy B adventure with hints of comedy. There are no fights here (other than a handful of punches), there's no fancy CGI, what the characters do doesn't always make sense, and the cast is made up of mostly people we've never heard of. Still, I don't think it deserves a 3.7 and I definitely wouldn't say it's the worst movie I've seen this year. (Seriously, if you think the acting here is bad, you should watch Wild Horses. I've never seen anything like it - with the exception of Hartnett and Franco.)
The best thing about this movie was Scott Adkins. Although he was believable as a scientist, the best parts were when he cracked little cheesy jokes and laughed at them. It was adorable! He probably smiled and laughed in this one movie more than in all of his other movies put together. Obviously, I prefer him as an angry badass, but I accept that he also needs to do other types of characters to show his range.
And those who enjoy Lundgren, although he's not the main character here and we see less of him, they will probably like his typical bad guy persona with really nice hair.
