If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

MAMMOTH is a particularly bad comedy horror flick from the Sci Fi Channel, shot in Romania so looking cheaper than ever. It follows a plot involving an alien organism arriving on Earth and attaching itself to the first thing it finds, which happens to be a woolly mammoth that subsequently goes on the rampage. Perhaps realising that the CGI effects are so terrible that nobody will ever begin to take this seriously, this plays out with a tongue firmly in cheek and it's completely unfunny, awkwardly so in fact. The only thing thing this has going for it is a couple of interesting actors who are better than their material. Tom Skerritt and Summer Glau play a father and daughter team and this is a low point in both of their resumes.

I don't have any children myself, but I do know when I go to parties or visit families who have children usually there is a movie being played on TV that is focused towards kids
. This is what this movie reminded me of.This movie wasn't bad, but if you go into this movie thinking it's going to be amazing you will be disappointed. The script was sort of silly, like I mentioned above it was very "childlike" with its jokes and stuff. The graphics were pretty bad and I didn't even realize half of the storyline until I read the actual description on this site. Aside from all of that it was such a cute and endearing movie I have to admit I really enjoyed it.I will call this movie cute and silly if you don't take it too seriously you will probably enjoy it. It did remind me somewhat of Men in Black with its "Alien Detectives" with a little bit of the corniness of the movies from the 50's and 60's.ZombieSteak.com - Discover a new world of horror films, designed just for you.

This is an unusual movie in that it tries to integrate campy, innocent humor with a 1950's sci-fi style. If you don't like the type of humor presented, then the movie can be somewhat annoying. The intro is also a bit bizarre (almost confusing), but the movie finally settles into a pretty standard sci-fi "find and destroy" plot.The film is essentially about an alien presence that takes over a mammoth carcass in a museum. A small band of people attempt to stop it from causing destruction to the local city.It's a typical sci-fi plot. There's an attempt to be a bit more complex in the beginning, but it's so confusingly done that it can be more irritating than entertaining. The big problem, however, is the attempt at humor. It's a bit amusing sometimes, but for the most part it's too excessive and makes the movie look amateurish.While I respect the goal of trying make a sci-fi movie a bit differently, sometimes such efforts can end up badly. I recommend passing on this movie.

If you're looking for a movie to take your mind off life for an hour and a half, you could do a lot worse than Mammoth. OK, you could also do a lot better but this film doesn't pretend to be anything other than a low-budget cheesy horror.In fact, part of the charm of Mammoth was that everyone had their tongue firmly in their cheek making this film, especially the delightfully nerdy scientist played by Vincent Ventresca. The special effects are naff in the extreme and the dialogue totally contrived but that just made me chuckle rather than roll my eyes in frustration.I guess it depends how you like your genres. If you liked Snakes on a Plane, then you may well like it. Don't expect too much from it and you might be pleasantly entertained.
