Info

Marine biologist Jack Ellway and his son Brandon are drawn to the Polynesian island of Malau to study the effects of recent seismic activity on the area's marine life. Along with the local doctor Alyson Hart, they soon become caught up in the investigation of a series of recent drownings with unexpected results. As Jack explores the surrounding ocean for a mysterious marine creature, Brandon discovers and befriends a three-foot-long baby creature that is able to leave the ocean and walk on land. As more dangerous and giant creatures come onto the island, and the military begins to take offensive action, Jack must risk everything to save the creatures, the island and his son.

Gargantua Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Steineded How sad is this?
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Executscan Expected more
leavesonline What can I say? This is another example of a movie so bad that it's good. The plastic monsters are shameful, the characters are less than one-dimensional, the science is flawed beyond belief (as a scientist I have low expectations of movies, but this was ridiculous - how exactly are they taking soil samples from an oceanic trench?!) and the emotionally charged sub-plot as boy and monster both confront the loss of their mothers, well, breathtaking...The most remarkable thing about this movie, barring the surreal way that the slimy Australian skipper is attributed to be a New Zealander, is the sheer amount of effort the actors put in. The scene where Adam Baldwin mourns the death of the plastic monster is spectacular and Bobby Hosea throws his heart and soul into the role as the understanding and competent marine colonel. It's always so comforting when such rubbish is presented with that much enthusiasm.Get some friends together, get some alcohol and treat this as a comedy but whatever happens, don't try to watch it seriously!
kgod I wish i could find a worse movie, but i never saw anything like Gargantua. Image effects are terrible, sound is horrible, the story and the characters are so bad that you might want to break your TV after this. If you pay attention (and i may tell you in advance, it will be hard), you'll see so many mistakes that you would not believe if someone told you. Bad, Bad, Bad.This is, by far, the worse movie i've ever seen (maybe Gigli, but not now). TV movies, except SOME (AND JUST A FEW), are terrible and their point is to just give some pleasure to kids. You may not expect anything from them different than Gargantua.-- forget this trash.
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.
