Watch Behemoth For Free

hyped garbage

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Scientists discover a giant creature under the Earth that is wrapped around the entire planet. When the creature wakes all grumpy, it causes worldwide destruction. Even tho Behemoth has a better Cast of talented people than a generic horror thriller this days the cgi and the acting are still not good and the overall result is a disappointing and unwatchable low budget monster movie. (0/10)

When a series of strange accidents in a remote town raise the questioning of the local authorities, they realize the town's celebratory extinct volcano's return to life is the result of a deadly monster buried beneath it and must stop it before it starts Armageddon on Earth.What is quite possibly the single biggest disappointing creature feature ever, since this one doesn't even play off as a creature feature at all. Instead, the majority of the first hour in the film plays instead like a disaster movie, with the usual signs of a volcano's impending release scattered throughout, and the action scenes as well owing more to that than a creature feature. When the creature does get loose, it's so big as to be effectively rendered immobile, spends ten minutes freeing itself from a mountain trap that's never explained how it got there and doesn't do anything but whip it's tentacles around in a series of lame CGI-driven scenes. That this is the final five minutes of the movie isn't to be overlooked, and while there is some cheesy fun to be had from this stuff, unless you're into those kinds of disaster movies and not creature features, this one will disappoint you severely.Rated R: Language and Violence.

As I have said, many times, I do dislike intensely a vast majority of SyFy's output save a few exceptions, though I do watch them to see if there are some at least decent films among the sea of crud. Behemoth is not down there with SyFy's worst, not with Quantum Apocalypse, Alien vs. Hunter, Dinocroc vs. Supergator, Moby Dick: 2010 and Titanic II.What does salvage the movie from being bottom-of-the-barrel quality like the aforementioned titles are the surprisingly good CGI effects, when I finally saw the monster fully I was surprised at how good it looked compared to other effects I've seen on the channel. Also William B. Davis while not outstanding gives a noteworthy performance.Everything else didn't engage sadly. The settings were okay, but the haphazard editing and rather dim lighting prevented me from properly enjoying. The story is rather plodding, very predictable and by-the-numbers, with any thrills, suspense and tension feeling somewhat tame and only the ending properly exciting.The script is banal and as plodding as the story. The beginning especially is full of overlong and sometimes meaningless exposition. The direction is often unfocused too, the sound is lacking in clarity even in crucial scenes and the music to me was forgettable at best.The characters are lifeless, clichéd and none of the characters emotionally resonated with me in any way. This is not just the script and expositions, but the dull acting also plays a major factor in this. Davis as far as I was concerned was the only one who tried, everyone looked bored and were phoning in.Overall, SyFy has done worse but I don't recommend Behemoth. 3/10 Bethany Cox

When it concerns sci-fi and horror movies I'm perfectly willing to accept some stretching of the limits of credibility, as long as it serves a good and solid story that's delivered in an entertaining and convincing way. In this case unfortunately even my out-stretched limits were over-stepped. That's mainly due to an idiotic premise, a bad script, equally bad direction and special effects (the most important aspect of every sci-fi!) of a deplorable quality. That the acting was over-all surprisingly good just couldn't save this one anymore.Okay, this is what it's all about. Lurking under our feet is a giant (and I mean: GIANT, in a global sense of the word) mythical monster, that resides there for like millions of years, but at the start of the movie decides to pop up to punish the world-populace for it's faults (i.e. the systematic neglect of the environment and the killing of each other, etcetera). Is it god-sent? Or some demon? The movie never explains, apart from some fuzzy reference to old Indian tales. In fact some googling will learn you that the term Behemoth refers to a biblical land-creature (as opposed to Leviathan, the sea-creature), that's supposed to have the shape of a hippopotamus and served as an awesome proof of God's creational abilities (and didn't necessarily was a bad-assed monster). Well, one can understand that the idea of a giant monster-hippo even went too far for the makers of this movie, but why then still use the name Behemoth? Anyway, here we are with Behemoth. It reveals itself at first by terrible earthquakes and tsunami's all over the world. So we are supposed to believe that it stretches it's body out under the entire surface of the earth. How unimaginably big should such a creature be? When it at last pops up in this little American town in the middle of nowhere (why didn't it choose a densely populated town like New York or London, to create at least some bigger havoc?), we see it: first a few tentacles with the width of say a sewer-pipe, then a staring eye as big as a round garden-trampoline, then at last the terrible monster itself, sitting on top of the burst-open mountain, and indeed it's big, like maybe some hundreds of feet high and tentacles that stretch for many miles around him. But GLOBALLY big?!? Is this big enough to cause earthquakes at the other side of the globe? Can this overblown octopus cause the destruction of all mankind and the whole wide world?? How? It just sits there glued to the mountain, flapping it's tentacles and roaring through it's wide opened jaws. Will it smash or swallow all the 7 billion people on earth one by one?? Roar them to death?? It's utterly unbelievable and plain silly. Okay, the CGI-picture of the beast is nice, with some Lovecraftian traits, but it never ever creates any sense of the supposed apocalyptic doom or terror.In the meantime the terrible truth slowly dawns on everyone in the little village (especially the hero and heroine of the story, two scientists that used to date, broke up and now in the face of the apocalypse find each other again) and makes them run around in a frenzy, preferably TOWARDS the mountain in stead of away FROM the mountain. But rescue is near: a mysterious government-guy strolls through the woods on the mountain with a big box that contains the ultimate weapon to kill this beast. How come? How did the government know? Why didn't they evacuate the area or state beforehand? Why send just ONE man without any back-up and instruct him to be as mysteriously as possible, as to avoid that anyone else could timely be warned? We never hear any explanation. You would think the box contains some awesome sci-fi device. Instead it's some sort of pimped bazooka. With just one piece of ammunition. Why the hell would the government play cheap when the future of the whole world is at stake?! Couldn't they have put like 10 or a 100 bullets in the box, just to be safe? Anyway: our local hero (in the meantime the governmental guy has passed-over the instructions with his dying breath) has only one chance to kill the beast and he decides that he has to shoot the beast in it's mouth. Everyone tries to give the impression that this is extremely hard to do, but the beast conveniently gives an over-long roar, keeping it's mouth wide open for ever, and since it never even ducks away (stuck to it's mountain-top as it seems to be), the bullet hits the target and the beast explodes. End of story. In short: the world has faced it's total destruction but with the blow of just one simple bullet everything is back to normal. Thanks to our vigilant government. After seeing this movie I immediately slept better (or could it possibly have been from being bored too much?).
