Not something I would call a masterpiece, but there are worse

The SCI-FI channel brings us another addition to the man eater series, YETI picks up with a bunch of college football players traveling by plane, whose plane crashes in the Himalayas and find themselves having to try and survive the cold and fend of a carnivorous yeti.

YETI isn't something I would call a masterpiece, but it is also not one of the worst films ever made, it is mainly just a good time passer to say the least, sure it has tacky looking CGI, it has dialog that is nothing to write home about, and the yeti looks like chewbacca's angry cousin with a bad tan, the acting however is not all bad, I would say that maybe one or two cast members were not so good, and the others did all right.

Overall, its a low budget made for TV movie, nothing special, but not the worst film that's out there, and it features chewbacca's angry cousin with a bad tan.
