Really good special effects


I was shocked at how great that spider looked. Whoever these guys are they have a future.

I also have to agree. I was not expecting much and not only did they exceed expectations, I felt most (~70%) of it was done as realistically as possible.

Even in areas where the quality was a bit lower, I would say out of several tries, many of them were actually quite realistic and the rest broke the realism (namely: people getting stabbed by the spider's legs, some of the building debris falling and the spiders hatching). The weakest part was probably the webbing - especially when the female soldier got all rolled up.

The spider was great, all the other CGI was kraaap. Maybe that was budgetary or maybe that was on purpose given the genre.

Yeah agree with this comment... some effects were awful
