2/5

It’s a slightly frustrating experience, because the film has got loads going for it but could be just that little bit better.

3/5

The elements that have to do with Dallas dealing with his father's death and his anger about that loss are nicely done, but they're wrapped up a little quickly, with no consequences or explanations for some of his actions.

Completely awful on every single level, Monsters of California takes a mishandled detour from paranormal investigations of ghosts to hidden conspiracies about outer-space aliens. The movie's three vapid and annoying lead characters make everything worse.

6/10

The way the film escalates into a bizarre conspiracy theory movie should be hardly surprising, but the choices as to how to go about this serve as a mask for some familiar but effective themes. An enjoyable enough venture from the guy at the rock show.

While Monsters of California doesn't introduce anything new to the sci-fi genre and pales in comparison to something like Gareth Edwards' The Creator, it works as a breezy, entertaining feature that demonstrates DeLonge's aptitude.

2.5/5

Monsters of California has a promising idea at its heart, but it loses the plot and strays from what its title promises, tumbling into conspiracy theory retreads that don’t lead to any truth, or fun, out there.
