UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

mailmisty I thought this movie was rather good for what it was. I've recently watched A-list movies that were much much worse. It's very watchable and interesting, the characters are attractive, and I like the mythical connotations in the movie. I love Greek Myths and Folklore. I don't usually watch the Syfy Channel, but I came across this movie and got sucked in...it's awesome. My only complaints about this movie would have to be the main character, Ray, although sexy, sounded like he had emphezema. lol But he pretty much made up for it with his sexy looks...as he looks a lot like Ty Pennington. It's not my all time favorite, but definitely worth your time.

Phillemos One disturbing trend in SciFi Channel original movies of late is that they're starting to feel like they have to weave more plot into the monster movie. Please. We don't care. This starts out interesting enough. Some family is sailing at sea, the mother tucks the kid into bed then hears a disturbance from above, when she resurfaces and father is clinging to one of the sails by his fingers, in the clutches of a giant squid's tentacles. She is, of course, woefully unprepared for a giant squid confrontation and has to fumble around for their flare gun. By the time she finds it, it's too late -- the squid has his next meal. Sweet. But this is followed by 90 minutes of boring treasure hunts, a couple of attractive female divers shooting the breeze with that dude from the 2005 edition of "The Bachelor" about lost treasure and precious little killer squid footage. What footage they do have features pretty bad special effects. Thus, "Kraken" Tentacles of the Deep" is an incredibly boring movie and does not hold your interest. Watch it while doing household chores so you can get stuff done.

MartianOctocretr5 Not a bad story, but the low budget rears its ugly head at times to undermine the effectiveness of the movie. A lot of the plot is predictable, but the film moves quickly and takes some time to introduce characters so you at least have some involvement and know what's going on. An illustration of the low budget is when a motor boat is "destroyed," you only see this as a CGI image from a distance. (No boats were harmed during the filming of this movie.) I also love the "metal mask," that looks like a pie-tin mold.It's another big-sea-creature-on-the-loose story, but this one actually has an unusual motive for its vicious brutality (not simply hunger), a plot twist often absent in these made-for-TV flicks. The human characters are two teams of scientific artifacts treasure hunters (sort of an aquatic version of Raiders of the Lost Ark), and they're both after the same artifact. The bad guys all wear black so you know they're the bad guys; the baddest of the baddies (and the leader) always wears black suits, even though all the action is at a beach or on the water. Every line of dialog this guy has is a threat to somebody; they could have put a sign up saying "Generic Theat in Progress" whenever he shows up. The good guys wear other colors, even in their scuba gear so you know who's who during underwater fight scenes. The creature's inevitable attacks predictably interrupt these fights, and provide for other common monster movie clichés.Certainly not a landmark film, but OK for a watch if you like these sea monster movies, or if you have nothing better to do.

everchanging02-1 Kraken is an interesting film about a giant squid that links the monster's murderous rampage to a Greek myth. This provides for a rather solid story/background, despite the common problems the movie shares with other made-for-TV flicks. I had three main problems with the movie. First was how Ray seemed too easily accepted as part of Nicole's crew. Second was the pig-like squealing of the squid. The last point has to do with the end and might ruin the story; but Ray's shooting is what's in question. The CGI of the squid alone was pretty good, except for some scenes. Mix the squid with live-action and it gets fairly cheesy, but it's not bad for made-for-TV. All-in-all, an okay movie if the premise interests you.
