a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

When I hear SyFy originals popping up, I immediately think cheap and bad. Bugs is surprisingly one of their more watchable efforts. Of course there are flaws, while SyFy have definitely done worse the bugs do look rather crude in design, the script could have done with more flow and less cheese, the characters are stereotypical and some elements of the story are derivative. However, the scenery is cool and atmospheric, and the editing is much more focused than it has been, usually I find it hackneyed. The gore is not too cheap and quite fun in their usage and the attacks do at least have suspense and a sense of terror. Bugs features one of the better directorial jobs for a SyFy movie, it is flashy and crisply paced in alternative to the sluggish and almost non-existent direction I've encountered before, and the story doesn't make the mistake of being dull and is more interesting and less predictable than it sounds. The acting is decent, nobody stands out as such but nobody is mind-numbingly bad either. Overall, has its debits but compared to the usual SyFy original movie fodder it is not half bad. 6/10 Bethany Cox

While the film is as good as can be expected for one of "those" sci-fi channel flicks, the dialog seemed really bad. as the team is getting ready to take off, the leader tells the blond girl to stay behind, presumably to be safe. we are never told why, are they a secret couple? is she sick? pregnant? not that it matters, as she dies later on. as far as the other one, the hot red haired scientist. she states that the creatures are 65 million years old (yea, thats a popular number to sprout when dealing with monsters) and in the same sentence, states that they came from the Carbiniferous period, but that's over three hundred million years ago! Anyway, don't expect much and it'll be an okay film, especially when the cop goes all Rambo!

This movie doesn't just disappoint, it irritates you with poor acting, moronic story, poor special effects and situations such as shooting a creature and not hurting it, yet hit it with a stick and you can hurt it enough to chase it off... If it wasn't so poorly made, it could be a comedy. In fact, some of the actors even have smiles while talking about their "dire situations" or ways to possibly save their lives.Finally, trying to add a "touching moment" to this type of movie isn't advisable... and, if done anyhow, make it at least a little bit realistic, please!!!There's enough corn in this movie to make enough ethanol to fuel the world.

Seriously folks, if this movie was touted and marketed as a tongue in cheek satire of the 'Alien' franchise and they amended the movie so ever slightly - it would be hilarious. However, the producers; God love 'em, tried in vain for a serious horror sci-fi and failed in monumental proportions.Where do we start?? Nasty supposedly dormant 65 million year old bugs come to life in a subway. A terrible explanation of why the construction crew did not get attacked ... well leave that alone and utterly suspend disbelief... and not for the first time!!It is so obvious that the this movie was influenced extremely heavy by the 'Alien' franchise, and throw in a bit of 'Mimic' for good measure.. so the similarities??(1) Aliens had the colonial Marines, Bugs have the S.W.A.T. (2) The S.W.A.T. mirror the Marines counterparts as well- Hudson, Hicks, Vasquez, Drake et al (3) Virtual copy of dialogue, death scenes - but VERY poorly done. (4) Alien; drones and Queen... yep same for Bugs. (5) Same corporate bad guy putting spanner in works... meets same demise!! (6) Ripley wannabee in the shape of C.D.C lady. (7) Poor attempt at copying the cinematography from 'Alien3' for Bugs sight. (8) Bug sounds, death knells, disintegration shots VERY similar to 'Aliens' (9) 'Can't afford to let even one of those...'and... the pièce de résistance .. and I wish I was joking(10) 'Aliens'; Ripley takes on the Queen with that way cool Loader... 'Bugs'; Takes on the Queen with, I kid you not, a fork lift!!Seriously, 'IF' for some extraordinarily torturous reason you wish to actively seek this movie out to view it, approach it as a violent satirical comedy/parody of 'Alien'. Even though I could safely disclose the ending of Bugs due to 'Contains Spoilers'... I can't. Let's just say that the writers/producers/director have no idea what constitutes a proved and successful ending to a horror movie. You have been warned... *grins*
