Good old gigantic monster movie

I just watched the movie on a Sunday evening and i am satisfied with it. Because it was exactly what i had expected and what it was made for. A nice entertaining time killer when you have nothing better to do at Sunday evening.

The acting was plausible and realistic to enjoy the movie and the cgi effects where also like expected. They would have looked cheap in a high budget movie of course, but for such a SciFi channel movie good enough. The monster itself was very well animated.

I reed a few comments about how that feminists may not like the movie because the female characters did nothing else then scream and being helpless. Well, that is just what the most women do in emergency situations. They do not pull out two guns and save the world, like it is very popular in lots of movies at the moment. They mostly scream, do not know what to do and hope that the men saves the situation. So from that point of view the movie was much more realistic then the most comparable movies ;).

SyFy have done much worse, but this was for a monster movie plodding and by-the-numbers

As I have said, many times, I do dislike intensely a vast majority of SyFy's output save a few exceptions, though I do watch them to see if there are some at least decent films among the sea of crud. Behemoth is not down there with SyFy's worst, not with Quantum Apocalypse, Alien vs. Hunter, Dinocroc vs. Supergator, Moby Dick: 2010 and Titanic II.

What does salvage the movie from being bottom-of-the-barrel quality like the aforementioned titles are the surprisingly good CGI effects, when I finally saw the monster fully I was surprised at how good it looked compared to other effects I've seen on the channel. Also William B. Davis while not outstanding gives a noteworthy performance.

Everything else didn't engage sadly. The settings were okay, but the haphazard editing and rather dim lighting prevented me from properly enjoying. The story is rather plodding, very predictable and by-the-numbers, with any thrills, suspense and tension feeling somewhat tame and only the ending properly exciting.

The script is banal and as plodding as the story. The beginning especially is full of overlong and sometimes meaningless exposition. The direction is often unfocused too, the sound is lacking in clarity even in crucial scenes and the music to me was forgettable at best.

The characters are lifeless, clichéd and none of the characters emotionally resonated with me in any way. This is not just the script and expositions, but the dull acting also plays a major factor in this. Davis as far as I was concerned was the only one who tried, everyone looked bored and were phoning in.

Overall, SyFy has done worse but I don't recommend Behemoth. 3/10 Bethany Cox

Messy, Laughable and Lame Story

In the small Ascension, the constructor Thomas Walsh (Ed Quinn) is working with his team at the Mount Lincoln. Out of the blue, there are tremors and the branch of the tree fall over Thomas' employee and breaks his leg. He brings his truck and finds the man dead. He brings the man to the town and finds that his sister Grace Walsh (Cindy Busby) plans to camp at the mountain with her sweetheart Jerrod Dietrich (James Kirk) while their lunatic father William Walsh (William B. Davis) defends the theory that an ancient being is near to be released on Earth and destruct the planet.

Meanwhile, the geologist Emily Allington (Pascale Hutton) returns to her hometown Ascension to investigate the tremors. The army representative Jack Murray (Ty Olsson) also comes to Ascension to search a mysterious wallet that was lost on the mountain. Soon the dwellers of Ascension discover the secret of the tremors.

"Behemoth" is a ridiculous low-budget movie with a messy and lame story about a creature that lives in a mountain. The subplot of Thomas and his former girlfriend Emily in the mountain is maybe the only one reasonable despite of the corny conclusion. The subplot of Jack is pathetic since if the army needed the wallet to destroy the monster, there should be at least a troop with helicopters and GPS seeking the wallet and not only one man. Further, the only weapon was probably a prototype since it was the unique means capable to defend the planet. The subplot of the stubborn Grace and her boyfriend is absolutely silly. But the worst is the subplot of Professor William Walsh is laughable. My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): "A Criatura da Montanha" ("The Creature of the Mountain")
