Really Surprised!

Memorable, crazy movie

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Scientists discover a giant creature under the Earth that is wrapped around the entire planet. When the creature wakes all grumpy, it causes worldwide destruction. Even tho Behemoth has a better Cast of talented people than a generic horror thriller this days the cgi and the acting are still not good and the overall result is a disappointing and unwatchable low budget monster movie. (0/10)

Another Good TV Movie, This Time The Residents Of The Town Called Ascension Battle A Sleeping Giant Buried Beneath The Mountain For Thousands Of Years ... I Thought The Acting Was Fine And I Liked Each Little Story Of Survival For The Different Residents Of The Town ... The Monster Isn't The Highest Of Special Effects But I Thought It Was Unique Looking ... While This Is No Blockbuster I Had A Great Time Watching It ...

BEHEMOTH is a monster flick let down by its own shortcomings in terms of budget and originality. Yes, it's another SyFy Channel production, filmed on the cheap in Canada, that has flashes of decency amid an overwhelming number of strictly middling to poor moments.The storyline sees strange stirrings beneath the earth and mysterious levels of carbon dioxide rising from the crust. A team of investigators are soon on the case, as is a crazy old man who thinks that some mythical beastie is responsible. Inevitably it turns out that the old guy is right, and the heroes find themselves up against a massive monster from days gone by with plans to destroy the world.So far so ordinary, but the surprising thing here is that the CGI effects are actually decent; far better than in other SyFy movies or the likes of DRAGON WARS. That monster looks great, especially when straddling the mountain top! I wish it had played a greater part on screen, but it was still a welcome sight. Sadly the rest of the production is less impressive, with boring characters and indifferent acting; the only one who makes an effort is William B. Davis, he of THE X-FILES fame. There's far too much hiking and chatting and not enough monster action for my liking, leaving this a disappointment regardless.

I thought this was going to be a remake of the 1950s British B movie THE GIANT BEHEMOTH and certainly the info button stated that the premise involved a giant monster terrorising London which as it turned out was misleading mendacity . The opening scene mirrors the opening of that film with the action transferred from the Coprnish coast of England to the forests of Canada but that's the only connection to that B movie which was at least entertaining . The problem with this movie is that it's extremely boringAfter a geologist is killed nothing of any note takes place for half the running time . Nothing . All that happens is that we're introduced to one supporting character after another after another . They are of course the type of characters you'd expect to see in a daytime soap opera or in a TVM with no nuance or idiosyncratic traits . The characters are so inoffensive they're almost painful and it's hard for any audience to feel any emotion towards them one way or another which sums up this film perfectly
