TheLittleSongbird Review of Pegasus Vs. Chimera

Pegasus Vs. Chimera (2012 TV Movie)

Hard pressed to find any redeeming qualities here

[1/10 · 13 October 2012]

I saw Pegasus vs. Chimera having little else to do, and as I've said many times SyFy movies are mostly terrible but there's something about their badness that makes me curious as to whether they're capable of making a worthwhile movie. They've actually done a few of those, but they're far too between, and Pegasus vs. Chimera is not one of them. Not one of SyFy's worst, but other than the scenery which is quite nice, I did find it very difficult to find anything halfway decent, let alone good, in this film. Technically, it is very poor. The special effects are really crude and fake-looking, Pegasus is nowhere near mythical/magical enough and Chimera is more Manticore than Chimera. But what made Pegasus vs. Chimera even more horrible to watch was the camera work, the shaky camera technique I've seen far too many times, here it is overused and made me very dizzy(not good for my recently diagnosed epilepsy). Pegasus vs. Chimera is very badly written too, I never warmed to the annoying stereotypical characters, the overall cheesiness of the writing and the unexciting predictability of the story. The final battle between the two titular characters fails to rouse or thrill, with no sense of conflict. I have seen worse acting before, but this is the sort of cast who tries but can't do anything with what they are given, which was hardly a surprise to me. In conclusion, an awful and almost irredeemable movie. 1/10 Bethany Cox
