| You get darn little monster out of this "monster movie" my friends. What you do get is a postal employee tasked with defending Earth against a 180 foot tall advesary. Zarkorr looks fairly cool, unfortunately the special effects around him are not. I found some of the dialog extremely entertaining though, especially the way people act upon finding out Tommy works for the U.S. Postal Service. Our hero is visited by "The Proctor" who dumps a whole load of whoop-ass in his lap, he must stop Zarkorr or Earth will be destroyed! So he manages to recruit Stephanie, George, and Arthur to assist him and together they come up with a plan. A plan which involves Tommy going toe to toe with this titan! I'll leave the ending a surprise so I don't ruin it for you... |

| Things I Learned From This Movie: | |
|
- TV sets in New Jersey can pick up the news in Japan.
- Superior beings have no common sense.
- One out of every two cops are serious alien conspiracy-theory freaks.
- The National Guard uses Stinger air-to-air missles against rampaging monsters.
- Computer hackers are always slightly insane, paralyzed from the waist down, unwashed, and able to hack NORAD.
- Giant monsters are classified as endangered species.
- Monsters cause nearby buildings to explode for no obvious reason.

- 3 mins - Laser sounds, holes being punched out of the mountain, strange lights - and these idiots yell, "Avalanche?"
- 32 mins - Who cocked their pistol? George? Nope... ...Tommy? Nope... ...the other cop? Nope... ...well darn, I know I heard it.
- 35 mins - This Newark, NJ police car has no barrier between the front and back?
- 40 mins - It was just pitch black but 5 minutes later it looks to be noon?
- 46 mins - Arthur is typing! Really!
- 73 mins - In the close-ups he is holding the shield from the other side?

My husband and I first rented that movie to scare off a couple of people who desperately wanted to be our friends, but we really just didn't want them hanging around. We saw it on the video shelf and knew this was the stinker to get rid of these folks. All I know is that evening, Daniel and I never laughed so hard! And it wasn't just the film! It was the special feature AFTER the film! I'm sure I almost snarfed popcorn through my nose!
If you are a B-Movie fan, Zarkorr! The invader ROCKS! And it's also very effective in ridding yourself of unwanted humorless house guests!

Bragger beware. Jennifer is now in a Hospice dying of a well known disease. Get yourself checked.
