We watched a new SyFy Channel movie last night called 'Abominable Snowman'. It had the usual predictable formula about a small isolated group of young people battling a relentless blood thirsty creature. Whether they take place on a spaceship, under the sea, or in the snowy mountains these films are much the same. This one did have above average writing, photography and acting by all involved. The CGI monsters looked much more realistic than most on the SyFy channel. There was also plenty of action and well developed characters who you actually cared about. Basically the creatures looked like giant bears with strange jaws. Too bad they weren't at least white. They looked more like Abominable brown bears than Snowmen. I like my snowmen to be white or at least gray, abominable or not :wink:. I guess the film makers may have figured dark brown was a better contrast for the white snow scenes, and they're right at that. There were some memorable scenes of the relentless brown creature in the distance bounding down the snowy mountain after it's prey. I Had to laugh a little at the 'Aliens VS Ripley' like finale. I give this a 5 or 6 out of 10 rating anyway, that's high praise from me. It was pretty good if you like these sort like I often do. I've seen much worse released to theaters. My wife liked it even better than I did. Watch this one on a snowy winters night and you won't be disappointed.
