From what I've heard the title is a bit misleading as there really isn't THAT much monster action in it... its mostly about the love story between the two leads and them trying to get out of the danger zone their stuck in.
Its been described as indie romance mixed with (minimal) monsters... Lost In Translation or Before Sunrise meets Godzilla. The director said he wanted to make an "offbeat romance" film, but one with an "unusual backdrop" (ie the monsters)... So take that for what it is.
It really doesn't sound like my cup of tea but I'll probably give it a chance... for that weekend, I'll take this over the new Saw.

You must show no mercy, nor have any belief whatsoever in how others judge you... for your greatness will silence them all!

I just watched it myself, couldn't wait.
It's well-acted (I damn-near fell in love with Whitney Able.) It's well-directed, and the score is amazing. Honestly, this is a movie that I think will age really well for me. When I know more of what to expect, I think I'll end up really liking this film a LOT. (it's got one of those depressing feels to it, the love that grows between our main characters seems TRULY genuine, and there's some interesting social commentary, so there's a lot of substance there to enjoy)
I'm going to have to watch it again, which means it was good enough to watch twice, I was just hoping that with the setup, we'd get a LITTLE bit more...it's good enough though that I could recommend it.
Unfortunately, I think there's going to be a LOT of negative feedback from people expecting more monster-mashing (which honestly is where my only complaint comes from; i wasn't expecting a monster MASH, but i was expecting just a bit more human/alien interaction, and i was kind of expecting more species of aliens rather than just one), especially with how close to Halloween this is getting released...
this movie borders on greatness, it's got an undeniable charm and some really powerful and emotion scenes.
i liked it a lot, just not on the level i thought i was going to.
