6/10
not horrible
3 April 2006
I watched this recently and was entertained to a respectable degree. While I agree that the Yeti wasn't much and in fact sometimes seemed secondary to other things, there was something weirdly compelling that kept me interested. I suppose that the movie is just very different. The photography was interesting and the writing was good. Essentially, this is sorta a poor man's remake of the original King Kong and I'm pretty sure it was aimed at the same audience. The cast really looked cold in the first half of the film as they walked here and there on a very snowy mountain. I liked the scene where they found the cave and were glad to get out of the wind and snow. It reminded me of how strange people are as they actually do go to places like that for some reason or other that doesn't make sense to me. Later the action moves to the United States and the Yeti gets loose underneath the city. The photography is still pretty good in these scenes. Check this one out, maybe you find it oddly attractive like I did. Atmospheric. I'm still wondering what in heck happened to the guide's wife, guess she became a Yeti's mate?
