The sets as well as the effects are standard and so is the production value. The entire military set up along with the combat scenes are typically ordinary.
Visually, the film has the look and feel of a World War II mash-up with a hint of video-gaming technique of engaging and re-engaging to reach a higher level each time.
The computer generated images of the glowing spider-like monsters Mimics have a distinct look. They are attractive and merge well with cinematographer Dion Beebe's visuals which consist of some jerky, hazy and out-of-focus frames.
The 3D effect does make you experience the battle first hand, but the involvement overall is not at all overwhelming.
