Better than the average bear? (spoilers)
This Syfy movie seems to be noticeable more violent, in that the deaths look more realistic than in most of the creature features. Danica McKellar is doing a good job, and of course she's also easy on the eyes.
I like the fact that they didn't have a cheesy solution in the cave, like they do in many of these Syfy movies. In a typical Saturday movie, they would have returned to the cave, decoded the magic saying or undercovered the mystical rock and made all the creatures disintegrate, or something like that. But maybe the final scene was a little too easy.
I wish they hadn't killed off Tory (from Battlestar Galactica) and her boyfriend. I thought their characters were interesting enough for a creature horror movie.
While not a great movie, this was watchable. Much better than the usual Syfy Original Movie. The CGI wasn't great, but that's to be expected. It helped that many of the scenes took place at night, so they could obscure the CGI creatures.
I also wish they had given Apolo Ohno more to do then just bleed to death in one scene. Couldn't they have at least kept him around for a couple scenes?
