Claudio Carvalho In a small island in Polynesia, the widow biologist Jack Ellway (Adam Baldwin) is developing some type of marine research. Meanwhile, some locals have disappeared and pretty soon, Jack realizes that a family of mutants lizards have escaped from an opening in the bottom of the ocean and the male (`father') is trying to rescue its family. Jack and some other scientists give their best effort to save the animals and return them to their environment. Wow, I did not believe in the rating of IMDB and have decided to check this movie. It is indeed a crap, being cheesy and corny. The monsters are clones of Godzila, and the baby lizard has the eyes of ET, recalling Sean Young's 1985 `Baby... Secret of the Lost Legend'. The story has some very ridiculous points. For example, when the marines are called to save the locals from the lizards. The marines basically destroy the island with their weapons, while the poor animal is only trying to gather its family. Therefore, the marines are indeed the greater menace for the persons and their possessions. When some soldiers are smashed by the foot or bitten by its teeth, nobody feels sorry for their deaths; however, when the female dies, there are many tears. Maybe children may like this predictable story. My vote is four.

Istaria First of all, this contains a slight spoiler, but no one could care less about that so read on:Well, I have to admit I only watched this movie because everyone claims it sucks and hard. Well, now after seeing it I have to admit you guys were completely right - this movie does suck.The only bright side of this movie is that it is so bad that it is actually rather hilarious at some points. Especially when the two soldiers are guarding the beach and that big monster kind of thing appears out of nowhere and steps on them. I know it might be hard spotting a giant sized lizard, but unless you're completely blind you wouldn't let it come that close without noticing it :)What's the most hilarious thing? This is listed as a horror movie. Don't get fooled - if you're looking for a good horror movie, this isn't it :)

douglasp Take one pound of stale hippie.Liberally add elements of E.T., Jurassic Park, Godzilla, and the Courtship of Eddie's Father.Add a Baldwin for flavor, does not need to be a Baldwin Brother.Simmer for two hours over basic cable.Illegally dump off-shore.Mutates three.

Michael O'Keefe Twenty foot, nine foot; size is not that important when it involves these freaks of nature effected by insecticides and angered by underwater earthquakes. The giant ocean creatures bring fear to a tiny Polynesian island and a marine biologist(Adam Baldwin) and his young son(Emile Hirsch)try to protect them from being killed. Julie Carmen and Peter Adams also participate in this more or less waste of time.
