Mammoth (2006 TV Movie)
3/10
A mammoth stinker!
22 April 2006
Warning: Spoilers
A meteor slams into a museum in a small town in Louisiana and unleashes a partially frozen, 40,000 year-old woolly mammoth. Paleontologist Dr. Frank Abernathy(Vincent Ventresca), who has made this mammoth on display his life's work, is called on to help Special Government Agents Powers(Leila Arcieri)and Whitaker(Marcus Lyle Brown)track down the rampaging creature. It seems the mammoth is alien fueled and the clock is ticking away toward the community's doom. Part of the rescue team is Abernathy's father(Tom Skerritt), who is a B-movie and UFO fanatic.

Special effects are a joke; to be exact the movie comes off as a comedy more than horror flick. Ventresca becomes very obnoxious early and sustains the irritating role. I feel embarrassed for Skerritt, just how much does a real actor get paid to participate in crap like this? Also in the cast are: Summer Glau, Charles Carroll and Cole Williams. I'm surprised the mammoth didn't take a big CGI dump.
