⭐️⭐️1/2
A meteor crashes through the roof of a national history museum in the small town of Blackwater, Louisiana after the museum curator, Dr Frank Abernathy (Vincent Ventresca), finds a strange tracking beacon in the frozen mammal his museum is famous for. Turns out that it wasn’t a meteor but a spaceship housing a shapeshifting alien. In order to survive earth’s atmosphere, it latches onto the first organism it comes into contact with. If you read the title, you should be able to guess what partially-frozen exhibit it sets up in. The 17-ton alien-possessed zombie Woolly Mammoth stomps around, sucking the life out of folks with its trunk or crushing people under its big-ass feet. Two government agents show up tracking the “meteor” and Dr Abernathy’s daughter (Summer Glau) sneaks out on her 16th birthday to party and get back at her dad for missing her big day. We learn the US government plans on blowing the town off the map if the monster mammoth can’t be contained. Heroics are in order. Tom Skerritt shows up as the lovable family grandpa and there’s a whole bunch of stupidity making things a little enjoyable. My dude, Vincent Ventresca, has fun with his role as the goofy/scatterbrained father but it’s not as fun as it wants to be.
