Watch Rage of the Yeti For Free

Let's be realistic.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

In the remote Arctic, animated-looking monsters attack people. The white, toothy creatures are called "Yeti" in the movie's title and what sounds like "Yeren" during the story. Possibly, they are not really Yeti. Syfy TV movie filmmakers send a team into the region, led by muscular David Chokachi (as Jonas) and his likewise handsome brother Matthew Kevin Anderson (as Jace). The good-looking men are to hook up with the previous team, led by attractively tough Yancy Butler (as Villers). She has some funny lines. The expeditions were supposed to bring back, for some reason, an ancient book from a shipwreck. What the book, shipwreck and Yeti have in common is mysterious; not alluring, but confusing. Viewing this movie once could put you to sleep and repeated airings could put you in a sleep-like coma, so watch "Rage of the Yeti" at your own risk.*** Rage of the Yeti (11/12/11) David Hewlett ~ David Chokachi, Matthew Kevin Anderson, Yancy Butler, Laura Haddock

Another low-budget Syfy feature, better than most due to some humorous interplay between the leads; David Chakochi and Matthew Kevin Anderson. Face it, like most Syfy feature movies, it suffers from a lack of money, so the CGI is primitive, the cast is made up of lesser-known actors, and the story isn't the strongest.I'm a big fan of low-budget productions, they test and hone the skills of the entire crew. When they manage to overcome the limitations and produce something that is entertaining enough to sit through an hour and half, I consider that a credit to their abilities. This movie passed that test, maybe not with flying colors, but good enough so that nobody associated with this movie should be ashamed to have it on their resume.Along the way, they managed to pay homage to other, bigger successes in the genre, notably references to the Stargate franchise and Farscape. Good enough!

I do dislike most of SyFy's movies, but I do get some novelty value out of watching them and I also see if they actually do make something worthwhile. Although a vast majority of SyFy's movies range from bad to bottom-of-the-barrel, they have made a small handful that are tolerable if still flawed, with The Lost Future being the best they've done. I do agree to some extent that the previous negative reviewer was too harsh, especially with only judging its quality after just 20 minutes, as it wasn't as diabolical as all that.However, I didn't think it was a good movie, SyFy have certainly done worse, you're lucky this wasn't another Titanic II, Quantum Apocalypse, Camel Spiders or Alien vs. Hunter, but that is excusing the many flaws I feel this movie has. The photography and such are not as dull or as slipshod as SyFy can be with their production values, but there is nothing exceptional either. I admit I liked the monster, it was an attempt at an original thought and it was interesting with some menace. The special effects are not great, with the yetis more reminiscent of mutant polar bears.By all means, they(the effects) are not as crude as the ones in Mega Piranha for instance, but they have a tendency to have a rushed look to them in the big set pieces, such as in the helicopter explosion. The script has one too many cheesy lines and ones that flow awkwardly, and the story is structurally thin, ridiculous at times, never really thrilling and feels like snippets of their previous movies strung together going at a very frantic pace. Plus anybody interested in animals and geography will bang their heads on the wall once they hear the film's explanation for the yetis being in the Arctic rather than in China.Consequently I didn't feel anything for the characters, they felt in general bland and like the typical stereotypes that are frequently in SyFy's movies. The acting has been worse before and since, but it is still not good. Jonas Armstrong is a nice presence and the leads are quite earnest, but Yancy Butler(though she looks beautiful) and David Hewlett can't make up for the fact that they don't have much to work with. In fact, that could be true of the whole cast, it's pretty much running in snow, trying to battle off the yetis and "rescue the chopper" mumbling. All in all, a bad movie in my opinion, but I can think of worse ways to waste my time. 3/10 Bethany Cox

As far as SyFy original movies go, this one isn't too bad. Sure the acting is bad, but I have seen worse, sure the cgi is bad, but again, I have seen worse. I found the two main characters entertainingly ridiculous, and the whole movie had a very lighthearted feel to it that made it better than some others that try to be too serious for what they are. This movie knows it is a SyFy original and just has fun with it. The monster was interesting rather than just being another snake or crocodile, and the characters were entertaining rather than overly dramatic. Sure, it is a SyFy original, so it isn't some great blockbuster movie, but it is better than most of its kind. If you like SyFy originals, I recommend this one, if you don't, then yes, steer clear.And to the other reviewer's comment on David Hewlett just doing a few scenes to add his name to the movie, maybe you should look at the director listed for the movie before you comment next time.
