It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

This movie was so bad, I watched it for the comic effect. If you're at all knowledgeable about aircraft or an aviation buff, you'll find the plane wreck sequence an absolute laugh. The debris field looks exactly what it really is; stuff from a boneyard just plopped into the snow. Stuff that probably wouldn't happen: the "rescuers" fly into the Tibetan highlands with minimal outdoor gear to search for the lost plane,no extreme cold weather gear, supplemental oxygen,no assistance from national assets like satellites, etc; and the survivors make a campfire in the wreckage area where there may be hundreds of pounds of Jet-A soaked into the snow. And watch the rapid decompression sequence. Oh, well.A couple of the other reviewers were quite right. It's just one cliché after another. The intelligent hot babe who can upstage men, dealing with a predominantly male environment; the nice guy who humbles himself to her and gets on her good side; the lecherous jock; the scared young woman, etc, etc ad nauseum. Do yourself a favor, get another DVD, change the channel, or get one of those streaming sites for your computer and watch something else. Unless, of course, you're really hurting for a few laughs.

B-movies are supposed to be bad, but it is only rarely that one discovers a gem of ridiculously bad, delightfully awful film making like Yeti. This is rated highly because, let's face it, who watches a movie like this if they don't LOVE horrible B-movies and expect and hope that it is awful?The plot is a rip-off of "Alive", with an airplane full of college football students crash-landing in the snowy mountains and having to struggle for survival (and decide whether to eat the bodies of their less-fortunate buddies who died in the crash.) However, unlike in "Alive", this movie of course has a horrible man-eating yeti who tries to kill, maim, eat, de-limb, and in general harm any human it encounters, just because. The characters are supremely stupid for college students; they're grossed out about eating rabbit for survival (or chicken, as the thing they're roasting obviously is...), don't know a big cave with a blood trail means a predator lives inside, want to eat corpses after only two days of surviving when they still have chocolate bars left to eat instead, and search for matches for hours instead of lighting a fire from the numerous pieces of burning wreckage ON-CAMERA while they're discussing how they're going to freeze to death.For gamer web series fans, my best comparison of the Yeti's looks is to that of a Moblin from the web parody series "The Legend of Neil". (Only whiter and much more hairy.) I laughed through the whole thing, and heartily recommend it to any fellow fan of awfully funny B-movies.

*** This comment contains spoilers ***Well, its the only yeti flick i have ever seen.I give this movie a 6 because it made me laugh so hard.Normally i do not care to much about that a Fantasy/Horror movie is not realistic in every detail. But Yeti:Curse of the Snow Demon is unrealistic and unlogical in every detail. Do not understand me wrong. This does not make this movie bad, it is what makes this movie entertaining. Because every new scene you will be totally amazed how wrong all that stuff is that the protagonists do to survive. They do not need a yeti. In reality they would be dead after one hour. I do not know where to start. At the beginning you see a historical scene from 1977 where a bunch of guys try to shoot a yeti. Then the pistol freezes(???) and the yeti eats them. Thats all, there is no more connection to the rest of the movie. Next scenes are making sure that you know the names of five members of a football player team which travels to japan for a match. Do not care that only two of them look like football players. The rest of them looks like math students.Then the plane crashes i a total unrealistic way. No wings, no tail, but still able to fly a few miles and land savly. For no special reason its seems important for every one to leave the wind protected rest of the plane. There is no fire or any other danger. Then the guys hanging around directly in front of the plane only dressed with jeans and t-shirts. And yes, they survive that for hours in the middle of the himalaya at -4.0 °F. The best thing is. Everybody who is injured is doomed to die. Even if only his leg is broken. There is no rescue effort for them and even if the team starts a fire, the injured have to sit in the plain and freeze to death. Again with no special reason. For example the injured pilot gets his scene where he tells where to search for the radio, then everybody leaves without a comment and he is free to die alone :).Later you will see a burned corpse from the plane crash. Which is a bit mystical because the plane did not burn and every other corps is perfectly unburned.But the best thing what i have ever seen in movies is the unbelievable rabbit chicken scene. They hunt a rabbit. Then they cook and eat a chicken. I do not know that, but is it a problem to buy a rabbit at an American supermarket if you need one for you're movie?And there is much, much more. Look forward to a movie with riped of arms used as a splint for a broken leg, fire which burns with wet wood, storms which you can not see (everybody is talking about the storm. There is no storm in the whole movie), cannibalism after two days without food, cutting frozen flesh with a piece of glass, having perfect makeup after a plane crash and five days in the woods, burning freezed corpses to ashes with a stick ... i do not know where to stop. There is no scene which is not totally wrong.Oh by the way ... the yeti looks a bit more realistic then King Kong (1933). (Yes, it is a guy in a halloween costume)If you are having fun with watching movies just to laugh about how bad they are, then its the perfect movie for you. I have enjoyed it.

The SCI-FI channel brings us another addition to the man eater series, YETI picks up with a bunch of college football players traveling by plane, whose plane crashes in the Himalayas and find themselves having to try and survive the cold and fend of a carnivorous yeti.YETI isn't something I would call a masterpiece, but it is also not one of the worst films ever made, it is mainly just a good time passer to say the least, sure it has tacky looking CGI, it has dialog that is nothing to write home about, and the yeti looks like chewbacca's angry cousin with a bad tan, the acting however is not all bad, I would say that maybe one or two cast members were not so good, and the others did all right.Overall, its a low budget made for TV movie, nothing special, but not the worst film that's out there, and it features chewbacca's angry cousin with a bad tan.
