Details

Marine biologist Jack Ellway and his son Brandon are drawn to the Polynesian island of Malau to study the effects of recent seismic activity on the area's marine life. Along with the local doctor Alyson Hart, they soon become caught up in the investigation of a series of recent drownings with unexpected results. As Jack explores the surrounding ocean for a mysterious marine creature, Brandon discovers and befriends a three-foot-long baby creature that is able to leave the ocean and walk on land. As more dangerous and giant creatures come onto the island, and the military begins to take offensive action, Jack must risk everything to save the creatures, the island and his son.

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Ehirerapp Waste of time
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Carycomic And, what I expected was a poor man's hybrid of "Jaws" and "Godzilla," or even "E.T. MEETS GORGO.". *Ahrrr! There be spoilers ahead.* But, instead of one CGI sea monster, I GOT FOUR!!! A WHOLE FAMILY!!!! In putting together several different sci-fi cliches, the production company behind this movie came up with something relatively new. And, surprisingly pleasant, to boot. Felt sorry for the death of Big Mama. But, it was kind of heart-warming to see Big Daddy stop rampaging and head for home, once the two kids had been recovered by him! In short, a nice Grade B-plus movie to while away a boring rainy night.
killermuffin I have low standards for movie entertainment, but I think I managed to get through the first five minutes before looking for something else to do. Of course, I'm an adult.My son is 8. He loves it. For the monster movie watching youngster set, this isn't too bad of a movie. It's not too scary and it has the kid hero who saves the misunderstood monster from the evil guy who just wants to kill its mother and make a fortune using the baby as an attraction.I suspect that in another year or two, when he notices girls, we'll get to donate Gargantua to Goodwill, where it will sit until some other bright-eyed six year old whines his mother into a five cent purchase.
Crab_Nebula If you're looking for a movie that will move you, make you laugh, cry, thrill you, scare you, and shake you to the core of your being - THIS ISN'T IT!Wow. Such a clunker. I knew it was going to be horrible - that was why I watched it. With that in mind, I loved it! The only truly good thing about it was Adam Baldwin. The other actors all generally sucked, and the Outstanding Sucking Award goes to the son, whoever played him, I can't be bothered to go back and check the name. His acting was horrible, and his voice annoying. Some credit, however, must be given to the writers, who gave him the awful lines and the terrible parallel to the baby creature who had also lost its mother. WHAT A SHOCK! I WAS SO STRUCK TO LEARN ABOUT THE AMAZING CONNECTION HE HAD WITH THE CREATURE!The creatures were so truly awful as to remind me of the original Star Trek series, and the plot was obviously contrived after the writers had watched Jurassic Park, then Godzilla, and then gotten heavily drunkIt was a wonderful movie to watch and insert lines into (think Mystery Science Theatre), and Adam Baldwin was at least competent, even if his lines sucked too, and he's always nice to look at. If you're looking for a great clunker, this is it! I was well pleased with what it is.
kublakhan13-1 This movie was pretty awful but I must say that I've seen many movies that were much, much worse. Remember Jaws 4 where the shark actually ROARED?After reaing some of these reviews I was half expecting to see Bela Lugosi pop up and say "pull da string!" I'll give it a 4 out of 10.
