Scorpius Gigantus (2006)

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

This isn't even Fun Bad, its just bad. I'd even go as far saying its depressing. A giant bug movie should be at the very least, FUN. Not this one. We are forced to sit through endless dialog delivered at a junior high level. What makes this movie sad to me is that it seems like some of the actors really tried, but still sucked. Its like watching a kid at the Special Olympics line up for the fifty yard dash and then proceed to run in circles, for 90 minutes. I really felt bad for Jeff Fahey. What happened to that guy? He made some good movies in the past. The bug effects need to be seen to be believed. They wouldn't have been acceptable in 1983. I can't imagine showing up to the set of this turd each morning. Knowing that you were working hard each day to end whatever dreams you had of a career. At least Dinocroc was fun and didn't take itself too seriously. This movie made me feel terrible. I can't believe I sat through it.

See, there's this giant scorpion, and it's been mutated by government weapons testing or nuclear waste or something and - oh, what do you care? No one watches movies like this for the plot, for God's sake. You want to know if the bugs are any good, if it's any fun, if any of the chicks get their boobs out, right? Sadly, the answer is no, no and emphatically no.The bugs are really, really rubbish, and look like nothing so much as plastic models blown up to giant size. If they paid for these effects, they should ask for their money back. The plot and characters are all Z-grade clones of Aliens, the acting is uniformly appalling - Jeff Fahey, we hardly knew ye - and the whole thing is about as much fun as, well, being eaten alive by a ginormous scorpion, actually. There are no good lines, no cool moments, not even any good deaths. As for the breasts, don't get me started. One very hot chick and one moderately nice-looking one, and both stay extremely fully clothed throughout.Whatever the makers intended when they started out, this is a cheapo monster flick. Some things are expected - thrills, fun, gore, etc. They delivered on the gore, but forgot about everything else.

I bought this hoping to enjoy it. I can usually find something in most movies to enjoy. I really like not so good movies for their entertainment value of being not so good. I sat down and started to watch this movie over the weekend thinking good a monster type movie..Oh boy!! I got it started and about 5-8 minutes I was thinking this is very familiar. It is a remake of Conavore 3. The original was not as bad as this one is because it was a movie that did not try to be more than it was. Scorpius Gigantus tried to use better effects to little advantage. The acting was not there. It followed the script of the other movie so closely that I knew what was happening. They did attempt to make a couple of changes to add something but the changes went to nothing except to add a little time to the running of a movie. If you want to see this movie see Conavore 3 and you will probably enjoy it more.

This is by far the worst movie i've ever seen. In the first place is the filming. The movie seems it has been shot with an ordinary camera. The actors are by far the worst ( same as the movie, as i said before ). The lines are very bad too. I laughed ( of their acting ) even if the situation was ... let's say "ba". The animation was even "worser" ( this word should be invented after this movie ). I think i could have done a better animation in PAINT.For GOD'S SAKE , this movie is a 2005 production and in some cases i think the "SCORPIUS" was made with the frame by frame technology.I do not recommend this movie to anyone ( except for those who are really in the mood for a BAD MOVIE ).
