Local authorities and Government Investigators join forces with Frank Abernathy the Museum Curator and his father Simon a B-Movie enthusiast to bring down the mighty mammoth thus saving the town (and the world) in a wild adventure that blends the 50's alien-invasion flick and the 70's revenge-of-nature opus into a monster mash-up!

Mammoth Reviews:
Good movie for its genre ! 
2008-04-24 - This movie was enjoyable. The acting was solid, although nothing special. The plot was good, but there was one major drawback that really hurt this movie, and that was the silly sense of humor that seemed to come along about every 10 - 15 minutes. This was not only unnecessary but it marred an otherwise good solid movie, making it appear as if the makers of this movie didn't really take it seriously. The humor is really misplaced, because this is supposed to be a kind of scary movie in the sense of Godzilla, ect.
Well, if occasional silly humor doesn't bother you then this is definitely worth watching for about 90 minutes.
not like old sci fi 
2008-04-07 - bad acting bad special effects bad ending but noy bad enough to be good skip
Not Just a Frozen Elephant
2008-03-26 - There have been a lot of movies where a prehistoric beast is thawed/discovered/created just so it can go around killing people but this one is different and more original than most. After five years of study a frozen mammoth comes back to life after the museum is struck by a meteor. But if you payed attention to the wonderful dancing cave paintings in the credits, you will have a better understanding of the alien involvement in this event. Said mammoth goes on a rampage and sucks out people's life force (like the creature in Stephen King's Cat's Eye). Only the scientist studying it and his crazy family have any chance of stopping the beast. Add a couple of government agents to the mix and you have a pretty good movie.
Tom Skerritt is excellent as the UFO conspiracy believing patriarch of the dysfunctional family. The agents are well played as are most of the remaining recurring characters. As the film progresses we see that this story is bigger than just the events in the film. A pair of strange minor characters give a glimpse into the bigger picture. Even the ending is above normal for a prehistoric killer film. While not Jurassic Park this film has a unique take on the idea. The mammoth looks almost like a zombie due to its long freeze (now there's an idea). My only problem is a couple of scenes where the mammoth shows up out of nowhere suddenly but otherwise I had a real good time with this one. Check it out.
Mammoth is Space zombie-rific
2008-02-13 - Mammoth is a great movie. It's the best B-movie I have seen and has a great production value. The spaceship flying towards earth ala 1950s b-movie style.
Vincent Vetresca and Summer Glau are great. Overall a fantastic movie if you can get past the zombie mammoth due to space aliens.
Mammoth rubbish
2008-02-07 - I have just received this movie and played it and absolutely disappointed in it not only is it second rate but thought that Tom Skerritt demeened himself by playing the role. This movie is virtually a third rate comic movie and do not recommend it to anybody.
I have bought an abundance of movies from Amazon and this is the first dud of a movie that I have disliked.
