To me, this movie is perfection.

Absolutely the worst movie.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

MAMMOTH is a particularly bad comedy horror flick from the Sci Fi Channel, shot in Romania so looking cheaper than ever. It follows a plot involving an alien organism arriving on Earth and attaching itself to the first thing it finds, which happens to be a woolly mammoth that subsequently goes on the rampage. Perhaps realising that the CGI effects are so terrible that nobody will ever begin to take this seriously, this plays out with a tongue firmly in cheek and it's completely unfunny, awkwardly so in fact. The only thing thing this has going for it is a couple of interesting actors who are better than their material. Tom Skerritt and Summer Glau play a father and daughter team and this is a low point in both of their resumes.

I wasn't expecting much from this movie which is just as well . The premise is silly - aliens causes a woolly mammoth to come to life which then stalks the land . Obviously the budget ran out after the cast were given contracts so the production company couldn't afford basic CGI and the title creature appears very rarely . Instead like most of these features the story involves some teenage jinks like the good girl sneaking her boyfriend in to her bedroom . No monkey business because she's a good kid .It really is ridiculous how the producers go out of there way to disguise the budget . There's a rule about screen writing where would be writers are ordered to " show don't tell " . Unfortunately someone thought " Play mammoth noises offscreen " is showing . No it's not - it's telling . All in all a rather low budget affair which is very talkative and boring . Though in its defence MAMMOTH is inoffensive

This is the best monster movie I've seen in quite some time. The main reason is that there were characters I liked - not just cannon fodder. I mean, with some flicks recently, you're probably happy if the annoying would-be stars were killed off the screen at the first opportunity... With the low quality of such scripts and acting, one got almost used to supporting the monster instead of the humans. In "Mammoth", that isn't the case. Vincent Ventresca plays a slightly mad scientist whose main concern isn't fighting the monster, he's far more worried about his daughter (Summer Glau from 'Serenity') dating her first boyfriend while his dad (Tom Skerritt) is chasing UFOs. All three members of this family are really sympathetic and turn "Mammoth" into a delightful comedy. The downer is the monster, though. The clumsily animated mammoth doesn't look real in any shot, and then the whole idea with the alien sucking people's life energy (that's seemingly a kind of white gas inside humans) is somewhat unconvincing, to put it mildly. But in the end, it's one and a half entertaining hours and I think I spent the rental fee well on this one.

Well.. some out there is comparing this movie with other sci-fi channel movies and thinks that compared to them this is not that bad. I love sci-fi, but not sci-fi channel so usually I try to avoid anything of the sorts. So maybe they're right.But to the core. This movie is bad, really bad. And claiming that the humor makes up for the bad acting and extremely poor effects is a joke. Summary: bad acting, bad effects, bad "jokes". This movie is bad by all standards according to me. I do not think they've managed with any aspect at all. Even if it's not meant to be taken serious it still don't do anything for me since the idea of a good horror/comedy is based on some good acting working together with the humor (ex. Critters and Gremlins).Short summary: bad movie, don't waste your time.
