So much average

Simply Perfect

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

The residents of a small Alaskan town find themselves under attack by a flying reptile known in medieval mythology as a Wyvern. It has thawed from its ancient slumber by melting icecaps caused by global warming.Only we're in Alaska. Ice Caps aren't here.It's a trite, dumb movie that only a dolt could love.Flying monster is OK looking but the story lacks anything really interesting.Acting is mediocre at best and the directing is slow.And of course, they have to throw in a global warming angle. Can you be any more dumb?

I was surprised after reading these reviews, as I'm currently sat here watching the film and while I love Don Davis (SG1), I found the acting performances in this film quite cringe-worthy. Totally overdone and quite embarrassing.It's a typical Sci Fi B-Movie and while worth watching if there's nothing else on, I certainly wouldn't recommend renting it at any time.The Wyvern effects are pretty good and realistic (Wyvern being a mythical creature from Wales in the UK, not Nordic mythology) and the story isn't too bad, but the actors ruined the movie for me.I'll continue to watch it as there's nothing else on out here in Egypt but it's not one of the best films I've ever seen by a long way ;)

sending their staffers out to write good reviews of their crappy movies.Okay, even I'll concede that this is SLIGHTLY better than most of their "original" films, but it's the same story.Get a bad CGI monster, film somewhere in Canada and pretend it's the United States, have a film where the character actors (including at least one recently from a Sci-Fi Franchise) are systematically picked off by the monster.The hook in the plot is that this story takes place in a remote part of Alaska where they have days of sunlight around the summer solstice, and everyone goes a little nutty from lack of sleep...So a 100 foot man-eating flying lizard doesn't necessarily attract as much attention as one might think it would. Really.Oh, I think there's a global warming message here somewhere. If only Al Gore could work THAT into his presentation, someone might give a hoot.The tell that this is a TV movie. No one uses curse words no matter how bad things get... "Stuff Happens" said by a trucker. No trucker would say anything that tame...

This is a terrific creature feature!!! It had nearly every cliché in the book and that made it even better. The cast did a very good job without ever lapsing into complete corniness. The computer graphics were well done without being over done. There was even humor. It reminded me of Saturday afternoons when I was a kid. I actually had FUN watching it, which is more than I can say for most movies I've seen lately. I sat through the WHOLE thing and I can't remember the last time I did that. I keep checking the schedule, with fingers crossed, hoping it will show up. If Scifi (SyFy, whatever) can run Thor: Hammer of God more than once, this movie definitely, without question, deserves another shot!!! PLEASE!!!
