There is no need to second-guess this movie. As you have surmised it is the old standard giant squid in the water versus scientist that nobody listens to. It has got all the standard characters that you find in most of these movies; they are reminiscent of the "Jaws" series. Some of the names or even the same. Do not expect this to be too spectacular as it was made for television.
Dan Leland (James Van Der Beek) misunderstood scientist with dubious background hopefully will be vindicated.
Katrina Tomas (Alexandra Castillo) half-bred full authority adds to a potential love interest.
Gunnar Thorson (Arne MacPherson) the rough tough fisherman says, "There's nothing here go look for yourself!" Snicker snicker.
Krissy Neepenak (Larissa Tobacco) cephalopod chow.
Many others add to this standard cast of characters needed.
After watching this the next movie, you will want to see is "Tentacoli" 1977.
