I've always been a big sci-fi fan, books and movies. Perhaps because I started my love of sci-fi from books, when I was young, the main thing I enjoyed in a movie was the story. But as I grew older, I began to learn more about, and appreciate, things like plot integrity, acting, directing, photography, etc.If you're a person who only enjoys the story, as I used to be, then Big Ass Spider will probably strike you as a well done 'B' sci-fi movie. If you don't enjoy strongly tongue-in-cheek humor, you may not enjoy it.But if you do, and have learned to appreciate more subtle production qualities in movies, Big Ass Spider will be an absolute delight! The script, acting, directing, innuendo, down to the tiny nuances, are dead on! I rarely laugh out loud when watching movies, but this one had me in stitches. For the first time ever, in scene after scene, I asked myself "how could this have possibly been done better?"Clearly, the producer & director purposely chose a typical 'B' sci-fi movie story as their vehicle, and then they nailed it to the wall! The special effects are typical 'B' movie effects. But, in my opinion, a $100 million SFX budget would actually be a negative here, because, just like every other detail, it perfectly matches the chosen theme and style.Unfortunately, some of the people who have reviewed this movie missed the point. This movie was clearly made with tongue firmly in cheek. The apparent 'flaws' are there intentionally, for humor.I highly and enthusiastically recommend this movie, and extend my unbridled admiration and appreciation to those who made it!
