Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

hammerheadshome the best part of this movie was its scenery. basically it was so choppy nothing flowed not even the plot. the was so pathetic the acting was so terrible. the acting was also bad . like i said before the cgi was an embarrassing, and poorly done to say the least i remember when the syfy channel put out very good movies a long ago. over the past years they seem to have their heads up their bottoms with the movies. what a shame.

emphedokles I just watched the movie on a Sunday evening and i am satisfied with it. Because it was exactly what i had expected and what it was made for. A nice entertaining time killer when you have nothing better to do at Sunday evening.The acting was plausible and realistic to enjoy the movie and the cgi effects where also like expected. They would have looked cheap in a high budget movie of course, but for such a SciFi channel movie good enough. The monster itself was very well animated.I reed a few comments about how that feminists may not like the movie because the female characters did nothing else then scream and being helpless. Well, that is just what the most women do in emergency situations. They do not pull out two guns and save the world, like it is very popular in lots of movies at the moment. They mostly scream, do not know what to do and hope that the men saves the situation. So from that point of view the movie was much more realistic then the most comparable movies ;).

Theo Robertson 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

Paul Andrews Behemoth is set in the small US town of Ascenion where several unexplained Earth tremors have caught the attention of the Government who send in a team of geologists to investigate & former resident & seismologist Emily Allington (Pascale Hutton) also decides to check out the unusual phenomenon which she believes may be connected to a dormant Volcano. However the truth is far worse, a huge tentacled monster has awoken & as it moves underground is causing these tremors & huge amounts of destruction to property. In steps ex military man Thomas Walsh (Ed Quinn) who is hired by a Government agent to guide him to where the equipment of his ill fated colleagues is. Stranded in the isolated mountain terrain both Thomas & Emily stumble across each other & face a fight for survival with poisonous CO2 leaking everywhere & a giant monster on the rampage to deal with...This Canadian & American co-production was directed by David Hogan & is yet another terrible Sy-Fy Channel creature feature, really how many more of these turgid & throughly formulaic little films are we going to have to endure? There must be a market for them out there, I mean someone must be watching them, right? I think maybe because it's cheap television these things will continue to get made, & I know I'll be stupid & boneheaded enough to keep watching the damned things! When I first saw Behemoth listed in my TV guide as a giant monster film I thought it might have been a cheap remake of the rather good classic black and white monster film The Giant Behemoth (1959) but it isn't, no this is a boring creature feature with a supposed Eco message about us humans abusing the environment & mother nature striking back in the form of a giant monster. The script for Behemoth is very talky, the entire first half is vague exposition about something taking revenge on humanity for it's general behaviour & lots of people running around trying to sound serious about what's going on. None of this works, for a start it's relentlessly dull, the talk about the active Volcano goes nowhere, the ancient myth about monsters is too vague & again is never worked into the plot in any meaningful way. There is no explanation behind the events of Behemoth, whether the creature is some supernatural force or not is never indicated, the purpose of the Behemoth is also left unanswered & while the dialogue suggest that it is a worldwide phenomenon the Behemoth never attacks anything other than a small town. At that rate it would take it quite a while to destroy the entire world. Even though the IMDb plot synopsis indicates 'worldwide destruction' it never happens & is never even referenced. Then there's the US military guy, if the US Government & military are expecting the Behemoth why send just one guy & one rocket launcher in a suitcase? Why not send an entire army of soldiers all armed to the teeth with these weapons? The character's are poor, there's no emotional interest as I didn't care who lived or died & despite being so big & powerful the Behemoth only seems interested in just sitting on top of a Volcano & roaring. At just over 80 minutes Behemoth felt much longer as it plods along, all I can really remember about Behemoth are these two people running around a forest for an hour & not much else.The only credible aspect of Behemoth that saves it from getting a one star rating are the CGI computer effects which are surprisingly good. The actual Behemoth creature when fully revealed at the end is rather impressive it has to be said, OK it doesn't do anything other than just sort of sit on top of the Volcano & roar but it does look good considering the usual Sy-Fy Channel junk we see. Some of the other effects aren't so impressive, the disappearing house & crumbling rocks in particular look bad but the main star of the show the Behemoth is one of the better looking Sy-Fy Channel beasties. Even though a few people die there's no blood or gore here, like I said the Behemoth is underused & apart from sink a few houses doesn't really do anything of note.With a supposed budget of about $1,300,000 this was filmed in British Columbia in Canada with decent production values & nice enough mountain scenery. The acting is, as usual, forgettable with most of the cast phoning their performances in. The only cast member of note is William B. Davis who played the sinister cigarette smoking man in The X-Files (1993-2002).Behemoth is a boring mix of ecological thriller & giant monster creature feature that has some surprisingly good CGI but little else to recommend it. Bland character's, a plot cobbled together from various ideas & a lack of monster action kill it dead. Even if it's on television for free think twice about wasting your time.
