Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Bereamic Awesome Movie
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Michael Ledo Pete gets killed in the first scene by a CG Abominable Snowman (AS). Brian (Chuck Campbell) who was out with him vows revenge as the AS also killed his father 25 years ago. Brian goes back up the mountain and never contacts anyone. His sister Nina (Lauren O'Neil) forms a rescue party of friends who are all either ex-military, current military who have a lot of time on their hands, and wannabe military. Mark (Adrian Paul) the finest drunk CG helicopter pilot, takes them on top of the mountain so we watch them ski and snow board where they need to go...over pristine mountain that already has tracks, go figure.In wouldn't be much of a film if they didn't encounter a mess-o-Yeti.This production takes place in Washington State, but filmed in Bulgaria. This SyFy production is well a SyFy production, so our monster lacks some credibility. The soundtrack is TV lame. One for the kids.Fun Fact: They have done DNA testing on what people claim is Yeti hair from two separate sources. The DNA is that of a bear of an unknown species that could be a hybrid of the Grizzly and Polar Bear, or perhaps an ancient common ancestor not yet discovered.
SanteeFats This is an okay movie for the SyFy channel. Most of their movies are not all that good in my opinion. This one is about a team of mismatched people who go after a missing brother/friend up on an Alaskan mountain. Two trekkers have disappeared on the high peaks. Guess why? Killed by a snowman, brown and huge no less. Now the question arises where does something so big not only get enough to eat but how would they maintain a viable population base? I know digression from the movie theme. Not so bad a film as some of the movies on this channel. Anyway several friends and spouses decide to go on a rescue mission after Search and Rescue can't find the missing brother/husband. Of course this leads to incidences that can not be figured out. One of the rescuers doesn't find the same track as the others and ends up falling in a crevasse (?). He now has a broken leg plus is spitting blood (sign of a punctured lung). So now the rest have to find a way to get the cripple out of the hole and transport him to safety. I guess they didn't bring any pain meds since the hurt guy just keeps screaming from time to time. The creature attacks the group on their way to safety and carries off one of he team. Now I don't know about you but if this were to happen in real life don't you think there would be not only sightings but if it killed like it does in this film hunters from the government trying to track it down and kill it? Returning to a semi-haven bar/resort where they find the missing guy. The entire group is now trapped in the building. So of course the animal attacks and injures one of the group. Trying to escape they run into another creature and retreat into the building. Now they are under attack and there is the typical panicked person. He is controlled and they now wait for the attack. The creatures break in and drive the humans back. Shooting at them drives them back momentarily but they return on the attack and drives the people back into another room. From this room the remaining people descend into the basement. The creatures leave with one of the guys. The remaining humans do what we do best, improvise a defense. They find three grenades and set up some traps which leads to them blowing up the building and the one yeti but some how the other one survives and chases them down the mountain. One by one the whole group has perished and it is now down to three. One falls and breaks his leg so the remaining two leave him with a grenade. Using it starts an avalanche but the big foot comes through it. They get picked up in a chopper and one of them throws a grenade down its throat which of course kills it. So-so movie in my opinion.
GL84 Attempting to track down a long-lost friend, a group of skiers head off into the wilderness to find him only to find the cause of the disappearance to be a group of giant abominable snowmen in the area and must find a way to get away alive.This here was actually a pretty big disappointment as this had the potential to be one of the better efforts in the style. There's a sense of fun that comes from the attacks inside the abandoned ski resort in the later half, the discovery of the second creature is quite nice and there's a few rather inventive attacks and confrontations with the creatures throughout, but unfortunately this one is plagued by it's flaws. The main factor here is just like every other Sci-Fi Channel outings in truly abysmal CGI that is utterly blurry and impossible to determine what's going on, and the fact that it's set in the snow seems to make the impression that it's supposed to look like that totally moot when the same look is employed on the interior scenes. As well, the dearth of attack scenes in the first half is incredibly noticeable since hardly anything happens with the creatures who aren't even glimpsed at all, and that also happens to lower the body count and by extension the blood and gore. The attacks are also edited in such a manner as to be quite hard to determine what's going on, and that makes it hard to get into it even more. These problems outshine all the good stuff this one has.Rated R: Language and Violence.
Michael_Elliott Abominable Snowman (2012) * (out of 4) If you're expecting SyFy to make good on last year's horrible BIGFOOT then you're sadly going to be disappointed. A group of professional snowboarders and skiers take to the mountains to look for a couple missing friends but soon they run into the title characters. ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN is yet another horrid bigfoot/yeti/snowman movie and it's a real shame. I love the actually myth of the creature but it's just mind-blowing that so many of the films have been downright awful. I'll start with the good right up front. The performances here were actually much better than you typically see in a film like this. Now for the bad stuff. We'll start with the actual monsters, which are among the worst you're ever going to see. Last year's BIGFOOT turned the creature into an awful looking Godzilla-sized monster. This film here makes them look like something a cat would cough up in the middle of the night. The actual look of the creatures are perhaps the worst I've ever seen. We can start with the fact that they're never the same size as in one scene they'll be the size of a car and then the next scene they're bigger than a large tree. Their size changes throughout but their hairy look and design make them look like a bear. In fact, my three-year-old son came out of his room while I was watching this and called them a bear. Even worse is that the awful CGI has a blurry look to them and it's just so bad that you have to wonder who signed off on them saying they'd be okay for a movie. The story is all rather predictable but with the lack of comedy, scares or drama, the thing just feels slow and boring. Lets all hope that one day the genre gets these monsters right but at this point lets hope no more turn up on SyFy.
