I watched Love and Monsters over the span of two days, and I enjoyed it! It definitely didn’t blow me away, but I appreciated that we got to actually see the monsters that we were promised in the title. They were good monsters, too.

Love and Monsters is a movie you can easily put on in the background, but it definitely has enough character to keep you invested while you watch. I’m easily distracted, so if I’m multitasking, whatever I’m watching has to be interesting enough to watch with one eye, but it definitely shouldn’t require me to be thinking along as I’m watching. Love and Monsters was exactly that. It is still the kind of movie you could enjoy while paying full attention to it, that’s just not my style of media-consumption.

While I’m very tired of post-apocalyptic stories, the premise of Love and Monsters is so far removed from any of the actual problems we are facing as a planet, that I happily stomached it. In a way, it felt much more like the type of post-apocalyptic story that would have been told before we got so much new material to work with!
