Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Michael Ledo Jason (Patrick Muldoon) works for the NYC subway. He becomes a key player when space spiders disrupt his system. His ex-wife Rachel (Christa Campbell) a proud graduate from the Kristen Stewart school of facial expressions, works for the city health department. Armed with their wits and a forklift they continue on their never ending quest to locate their daughter Em (Sydney Sweeney) battling the military and bullet proof spiders.The true origin of the spiders is revealed 35 minutes into the film.The special effects are low to mid grade CG. While there was always something going on, the film seemed hollow as if it needed another subplot of someone besides our lone family and the military. The dialogue lacked zing and the actors were simply collecting a paycheck. 3 stars is overrated for most people, but I love Christa Campbell's long hair.Parental guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.

FJWWindsor I was a sci-fi geek when I was a kid. In the late 60s, early 70s, I'd be glued to the TV on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, watching the multiple sci-fi and horror movies presented then. And I always had a soft spot for those giant spider movies, like Tarantula (1955) and The Spider (1958).This is what drew me to Spiders spontaneously, as I was browsing the Hoopla catalog and came across it. Big mistake! The dialogue is inane and the various situations that the characters get into are ludicrous, almost painful to watch. The acting is wooden, as virtually none of the actors do a passable job. The spider CGI is hit or miss (mostly miss), as is the FX. It's almost as if the filmmakers thought, "We've got this neeto keeno CGI equipment, let's build a movie around it", with plot, dialogue and characters being a fleeting afterthought. Do yourself a favor, skip it!!!

Diane Ruth There are times when the perfect script is presented to a gifted director and the combined vision of the artists is so large it seems too immense to be confined to a motion picture screen. This is the case with this film and it is when the cinematic technology of 3D becomes more than a gimmick but an essential creative choice. The expression of such a concept as in this film requires it and no other technique would do service to the epic story. Superb director Tibor Takacs and screenwriter Joseph Farrugia have realized their vision in breathtaking fashion and their inspired collaboration has brought to the screen the incredibly intense, overwhelmingly terrifying, and stunning special effects extravaganza that is Spiders: 3D. This is not simply a movie. It is the epitome of all motion picture experience.

GL84 When a satellite falls into the New York subway, a transient worker and his family find the unit housed a race of mutated spiders in a secret government project and must race to stop the creatures from overrunning the city.This was quite a decent overall effort that turned out quite average overall. When this works, it's the early build-up of the disaster that strikes the city and the chaos that ensues trying to get everything back in order, which is the first half to this as it's all quite good. The damage to the station and the resulting inspections bring about a rather intriguing series of scenes with the enjoyable action-film scenario present, and with the slowly-unfolding mystery about the eggs and spider-webbing down there it turns nicely into a true-horror effort. The quarantine procedures and the follow-up to the viral outbreak story make for quite an enjoyable time as well which brings about the film's main enjoyable scenes in the spider attacks on the soldiers. Still under the false story about the viral outbreak, the unprepared soldiers fall victim to the human-sized spiders out on the abandoned streets in fine fashion with enjoyable shootouts and action scenes against the creatures who utilize their speed, size and numbers advantage to great effect leading to a lot of good as the battles are ongoing against the rush to get to safety and stop the creatures from getting to the rest of the family. As well, the finale here is the total fun of the traditional monster-on-the-loose creature feature about the gargantuan-sized creature being attacked on the streets by the military with soldiers, bazookas and tanks as well as helicopters all coming together to get the creature while there's still plenty of other thrilling action with the more human-sized ones dealing with their efforts to keep the family alive in the wake of it's destruction, and the overall effect is quite exciting. Combined with the actually-decent CGI for the creatures as well as their enjoyable and creepy design overall, there's a lot to like here but it does have a few problematic areas. The biggest issue for this one is the first half being more covert-spy film than straight up horror as the vast majority of time is spent with the government cover- up about the secret project and getting the two contained that it never really bothers to get a lot of exciting moments in here. The secretive nature of the project makes no sense, as well as the explanation offered for the initial crash as it's clearly seen to be dislodged from a meteor strike yet is continuously claimed as a malfunctioned piece of equipment from an obsolete piece of technology, and the fact that there were numerous witnesses who seen the object fall into the station really makes the viral outbreak story quite illogical for a cover-up to begin with. All told, these tend to drag this out quite readily in the first half and really reduces the spiders' screen time. The other problematic area is the totally unimpressive 3D effects, which are just so lame and hamfisted into the story that there's almost no reason for it to be shot in the format anyway with so little screen-time you actually forget it was filmed that way. These are what really hold this back.Rated R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.
