Title: Two Stars for the Bugs, only
Review: Let me get this straight: Global warming is responsible for weird bugs that lay eggs in a defrosted 20,000 year old Mastodon and then burrow into anyone who gets near them. That's the hook, by the way. How they sold this to the studio, I don't know. The characters were completely undeveloped. The plot was non-existent. Val Kilmer is still fat, albeit a good actor. And the bug effects were good. So it gets two stars for the bugs, with the help of Kilmer's limited exposure in the role. That's it. If you want the real deal, watch Carpenter's "The Thing." That one received - and well deserved - the five stars I awarded it...and not just for the special effects.
