Cole Williams, Mark Irvingsen, Summer Glau

On a hot summer afternoon in the sleepy town of Blackwater, Louisiana locals exiting a retro-fitted theater excitedly watch as a meteor streaks across the sky and crashes through the roof of the local...( read more  read more... ) Natural History Museum. No one realizes that the meteor is actually a spaceship containing a shape-shifting life form. In order to adapt to Earth's atmosphere, the life form latches on to the first organism it comes in contact with - a partially frozen Woolly Mammoth found in the historic exhibit for which the town is famous. As a series of uncanny disasters unfold, the town quickly finds itself overrun by the alien-possessed mammoth. Local authorities and Government Investigators join forces with Frank Abernathy, the Museum Curator, and his father Simon, a B-Movie enthusiast to bring down the mighty mammoth, thus saving the town (and the world) in a wild adventure that blends the 50's alien-invasion flick, and the 70's revenge-of-nature opus into a marauding monster mash!

    this was quite good and a bit of comedy to in it, the visual effects are fantastic but acting is sometimes a bit off beat

    I watched this for Vincent Ventresca and little else. I have no idea Summer Glau was in this at all so that was a nice surprise. So two of my favorite actors starred in an admittedly crappy ass movie that I laughed my ass off at. An alien possessed killer mammoth? Bring it on, ba...( read more)by. :p

    Leila Arcieri made me see this.

    Anyways, Mammoth is your typical Sci-Fi channel dud. A big monster kills town folk, and its up to a family with problems to save the day.

    While the effects are sh*tty for the most part, the acting is passable stuff, with Summer Glau having the ...( read more)best performance in the flick, and laughing intentionally on a scene that demanded anything but laughing intentionally. Huh.

    If you like B Movies, then there is really nothing I can say to convince you from ignoring this.

    NOT AS EXCITING AS OTHER MOVIES LIKE THIS, BUT NOT BAD!

    This movie, while also being an absolute waste of time only kept me watching for the ludacres acting (which actually made me laugh).

    This movie was just downright stupid, it was almost as if the movie itself was part mockery part serious which just turned out to be a big messy...( read more) disaster.

    I spent the entire (half) of the film wondering if Cole Williams was Summer Glau's sister, they looked so alike, their smile.

    Skip this one, Summer picked a dud

    I'll be completely honest here. My main reason for watching and hoping to like this film is Summer Glau. I guess actors pick lower then average movies sometimes, and this happens to be Summers.

    This is a sci-fi original movie, yet it is a little different from what you may ex

    ...( read more)pect. Yes, this movie isn't all that great and it is made for TV, but I give director Tim Cox just a little credit for lessening the blow a bit. He decides to add a little stupid humor in here with some overacting, which makes this film seem less serious than other sci-fi channel original movies.

    The very beginning of this film seems to pop out of nowhere and you can tell that this isn't a blockbuster in the making. Not more than a few minutes go by before the opening credits happen, which will just throw you off. I kid you not. From here on out the story becomes corny. How corny? Let's just say that this could pass as an episode of a cheap Men In Black spin-off.

    You will not find a lot of action in here. In fact you won't find a whole lot of a raging mammoth. This is quite disappointing, but it isn't as bad as the cheap CG looking mammoth. I guess you could say that the less mammoth on screen the better.

    The acting is OK. Vincent Ventresca overacts, but with the style of the film, it partially works out. Leila Arcieri and Summer Glau look good and do decent jobs. The rest of the cast is crap.

    This movie is below average, but if you don't take this movie seriously, it isn't a complete waste of time.

    I rented this movie, because Summer Glau was in it. I thoroughly expected it to be bad...but a silly movie about a rampaging mammoth featuring Summer Glau is probably so bad that it's good. Nope. It lost the privilege of that when they randomly introduced aliens into the plot....( read more) (Un?)Fortunately, I ended up falling asleep and missing the whole part that explained the alien involvement. Really, it deserves no stars...but the score is purely for the inclusion of Summer Glau.
