Absolutely Brilliant!

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Contrary to the impression from the ratings, this is an enjoyable film to settle down to. It's not top notch at all, but it's not bad either. If you don't mind the premise of a vast monster living in a mountain, give it a try.

Look, I mean really... I didn't think that they still made films this bad. Did 'Robot Monster' teach us nothing? Endless shots of cliffs, and mountains, then some trees. People walking around, warning us... about... something. 40 minutes in, and nothing, absolutely nothing, has happened. Finally some dorky guy gets killed - you hope the rest of the cast will do likewise and end the movie but sadly, no. While some of the cast are hunting, well, whatever it is - Gramps and a sort of Latino babe are stuck in a diner. It's riveting stuff. Climax of the movie is when this dame falls off a step ladder. Cut back to guys on the mountain. The monster finally appears - it yells a lot but it seems to be stuck in that crater. Quick! Ahh! Do something! Cut back to Gramps and the girl- now he's fallen off the step ladder! How did they come up with this brilliant plot twist? Anyway - back to the critter - The Hero fires at it. With a gun he's never used, never seen before in his life. At 400 meters he gets the one and only shell he has (You know..."Don't miss! It's the only chance we've got!!" Brilliant device for adding suspense. How do they think of these things?) So it's a hit, kills it, they all drive down to catch up with the other two, lots of hugging and smooching because, hey, they've saved the world and that feels good. Let's all go home. The End.The only thing that could possibly save this piece of turdola is the fact that everybody was apparently absolutely sincere in their work - they meant every word of it. So, who knows, maybe in 30 years' time at bad film festivals they'll be loving it.

I thought this was going to be a remake of the 1950s British B movie THE GIANT BEHEMOTH and certainly the info button stated that the premise involved a giant monster terrorising London which as it turned out was misleading mendacity . The opening scene mirrors the opening of that film with the action transferred from the Coprnish coast of England to the forests of Canada but that's the only connection to that B movie which was at least entertaining . The problem with this movie is that it's extremely boringAfter a geologist is killed nothing of any note takes place for half the running time . Nothing . All that happens is that we're introduced to one supporting character after another after another . They are of course the type of characters you'd expect to see in a daytime soap opera or in a TVM with no nuance or idiosyncratic traits . The characters are so inoffensive they're almost painful and it's hard for any audience to feel any emotion towards them one way or another which sums up this film perfectly

Almost reminiscent of Final Fantasy with a huge being that lives inside the earth, protecting it from harm.Cindy Busby makes the whole movie worth the watch for the guys but without her, it would probably rate little more than a typical low budget B movie more suited to B movie fans. Sadly, she plays the part of the cliché blonde bimbo who screams a lot and has to have a big brave man to help her. Nobody in their right mind would see a big 2 foot wide eye staring at them through a hole in the rocks and then wait around to see what is going to happen next. As with most cliché'd horror movies, there is one old man who knows what is happening right from the start but nobody will believe him. Also the military know what is happening and have a weapon to kill it but have not warned anybody or evacuated the area. Like the military would believe Mayan folk tales more than anybody else :/ The monster is inside the earth and as big as the entire planet, it can make it's presence felt right across the globe. However, it chooses not to pop up in a heavily populated and pollution spilling metropolis but instead, some backwater town that is really little more than a permanent logging camp.I really feel that the B movie script did most of the actors a great dis-service and the weak story failed to keep you rooted to your chair. overall, a reasonable idea spoiled by bad scripts and all too obvious cliché'd events.One continuity blooper is when the diner drops into the ground. As the old guy says they have fallen into a sink hole, you can see tape on the window covering a 2 foot diagonal crack in the lower left corner of the middle window. The next scene where you see a huge tentacle moving around the diner through the window, the window has no tape but there is also no crack either. In the next scene, the old guy finds the crack with a tiny hole and they both cover it with tape to stop the CO2 from getting in and suffocating them. The whole idea of the tape is also pretty dumb considering that there is a huge wooden frame double entrance door to the diner that wouldn't even be airtight.
