Details

On a hot summer afternoon in the sleepy town of Blackwater Louisiana, a meteor streaks across the sky and crashes through the roof of the local Natural History Museum. The meteor is actually a spaceship containing an alien life form which animates the museum's partially frozen Woolly Mammoth and begins a rampage. 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 giant mammoth in this alien-invasion flick!

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.
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
WakenPayne I have seen the whole film the plot is father misses his daughter's (Summer Glau) birthday and he leaves he can't start the car the cell phones didn't work and a meteor hits the museum and a security guard investigates the mammoth wraps it's trunk around him and sucks his soul out and he goes home after a police investigation and 2 Agents investigate it and then at home the grandfather gives Summer's character a car (which I can't get my head around why the character is called Jack) and he arrives she is disappointed that he missed her birthday and she sneaks out with her boyfriend or something and takes her car the father realises this and HE'S the one who's ####ed off and then he leaves to look for her and he opens the door and now I have seen more of it these 2 agents question him on the way to find his daughter Jack and it's an outdoor type one and they dance while listening to their Ipods and then no time to waste the Mammoth appears and try to kill the people there they run away from it they drive down woods and there they are in the street and Frank Abernathy (the father) after seeing Glau really really scared of the Mammoth he thinks the boyfriend is giving her drugs and then the Mammoth appears and the agents shoot it with advanced guns but a pistol sort of like the ones Will Smith had in Men In Black but it doesn't make great big holes and they run away shooting it they run through cropfields anyway the Mammoth kills one of the Agents they continue running to the car of which they abandoned but so the Mammoth can't see them and anyway they succeed and they drive away from it and the agent says we have limited time before the government wipes out the town because of the Mammoth and they go to a morgue the cop (not those 2 Idiots to the people who watched it) and a forensic scientist are looking at the meteor (it's small) and the agent carry's in the colleague dead with the father Summer Glau and the boyfriend they show them something in a freezer the scientist offers them popsicles but they refuse and they put out a human hand (and I was thinking why would they keep a human hand with popsicle) and they try to stop the Mammoth they find out the only way to stop it is to freeze it and Frank finds out the tablet shaped thing in the mammoth ice cube is a tracking device so they lure the mammoth im this factory oh and the old guy helps right so here's the final climactic fight and they lock the Mammoth away and the old guy makes a sacrifice to help the town then you find he's still alive only frozen. This Movie is a very very very good movie I showed the trailer to someone I know they think it's just like Black Sheep but this is way way better
Theo Robertson I wasn't expecting much from this movie which is just as well . The premise is silly - aliens causes a woolly mammoth to come to life which then stalks the land . Obviously the budget ran out after the cast were given contracts so the production company couldn't afford basic CGI and the title creature appears very rarely . Instead like most of these features the story involves some teenage jinks like the good girl sneaking her boyfriend in to her bedroom . No monkey business because she's a good kid .It really is ridiculous how the producers go out of there way to disguise the budget . There's a rule about screen writing where would be writers are ordered to " show don't tell " . Unfortunately someone thought " Play mammoth noises offscreen " is showing . No it's not - it's telling . All in all a rather low budget affair which is very talkative and boring . Though in its defence MAMMOTH is inoffensive
merklekranz This uneasy attempt to blend U.F.O.s with paleontology is a mind numbing disaster. Never taking itself seriously, never cute, never funny, never scary, never interesting, never logical, never believable, never making any sense, is the only way to describe this unbelievably BAD movie. Most of the time the mammoth is flashed in darkness, with the computer generated images barely visible. This makes "Manticore" look like an "Academy Award" nominee. If you want to see the "cream of the crap" in Sci-Fi Channel movies, you might check out "Loch Ness Terror". It is "Oscar" material compared to "Mammoth". In summary, this is as bad as it gets. Bad concept, and a truly BAD movie. - MERK
Damien Molen Well.. some out there is comparing this movie with other sci-fi channel movies and thinks that compared to them this is not that bad. I love sci-fi, but not sci-fi channel so usually I try to avoid anything of the sorts. So maybe they're right.But to the core. This movie is bad, really bad. And claiming that the humor makes up for the bad acting and extremely poor effects is a joke. Summary: bad acting, bad effects, bad "jokes". This movie is bad by all standards according to me. I do not think they've managed with any aspect at all. Even if it's not meant to be taken serious it still don't do anything for me since the idea of a good horror/comedy is based on some good acting working together with the humor (ex. Critters and Gremlins).Short summary: bad movie, don't waste your time.
