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.

Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
gierran foiwehfoightu wekjfhwdfgiousdy89234osdfjwefiou tju roitj39857t neioujhu weoiwut9348ru n. There. That makes more sense than this trashy movie which is about giant salamanders which can magically tolerate salt water. It reminds me of the time my friend Annie Bananie was using frogs for a science project at school. Her mother kept cleaning the terrarium with Windex. This gave the frogs brain damage and ruined all of Annie's data. Annie Bananie's dad had to take the frogs out back and cut their heads off with pinking shears to put them out of their misery. I wish he had lopped MY head off before I watched this waste of celluloid. If "Gargantua" had been made in the 50's, even American International or Allied Artists wouldn't have released it-- it's that bad.
Istaria First of all, this contains a slight spoiler, but no one could care less about that so read on:Well, I have to admit I only watched this movie because everyone claims it sucks and hard. Well, now after seeing it I have to admit you guys were completely right - this movie does suck.The only bright side of this movie is that it is so bad that it is actually rather hilarious at some points. Especially when the two soldiers are guarding the beach and that big monster kind of thing appears out of nowhere and steps on them. I know it might be hard spotting a giant sized lizard, but unless you're completely blind you wouldn't let it come that close without noticing it :)What's the most hilarious thing? This is listed as a horror movie. Don't get fooled - if you're looking for a good horror movie, this isn't it :)
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.
Michael O'Keefe Twenty foot, nine foot; size is not that important when it involves these freaks of nature effected by insecticides and angered by underwater earthquakes. The giant ocean creatures bring fear to a tiny Polynesian island and a marine biologist(Adam Baldwin) and his young son(Emile Hirsch)try to protect them from being killed. Julie Carmen and Peter Adams also participate in this more or less waste of time.
