THE PLOT:

A strange object from space crash lands in a small town museum, thawing and resurrecting a Mammoth from a chunk of ice. Now the Mammoth is on the rampage, killing and draining the life force from who ever he encounters as part of an invasion plot.

Now the doctor has to find a way to kill or contain the undead mammoth before the Government takes desperate message to assure public safety.

ZEDD'S OPINION:

This is a surprising movie, I was expecting a movie about a mammoth that thaws and goes crazy due to the change in the world. But this plot is way better then what I was expecting. The story works, the characters are likable. I like this movie and I give it 9 STARS.

VOLTRON'S OPINION:

I agree with Zedd for the most part, I also wasn't expecting the mammoth being part of an alien plot, but I also noticed some matting issues with the CG. Which knocks it down to 9 STARS.

+ CHARACTERS (I like the characters this time.)
+ CREATURE EFFECTS (The undead mammoth's design is cool.)
+ CAST (The cast does a great job.)

...AND FINALLY...

ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):

- CG ERRORS (There were some matting errors in it.)
