Member Movie Reviews K. K. (GAMER) Reviewed on 11/1/2022... Slow paced 90s style storyline that needs to 120X FF kick at times. The ending was pretty good and if you are a fan of CSI's William Peterson, he's a lead in this! A must watch for Squid fans! 1 of 1 member(s) found this review helpful.  Samuel K. (Solvanda) Reviewed on 12/15/2018... I've read through most of Peter Benchley's books in the past few years. Of course, most know his name from the notorious Jaws, after which, horrified by the amount of people killing sharks in the aftermath of the movie, he became one of the most vocal advocates for preserving and understanding the marine life which resides in our seas. One of the best reads he wrote is entitled "Shark Trouble". It is non-fiction and chock full of crucial things you would want to know before stepping foot in any ocean. He's mostly written fiction though. There is "The Deep" which was made into a movie starring Nick Nolte. There is "White Shark" which became a miniseries entitled "Creature". And then there is "Beast" which became this very miniseries. I saw this when it first aired and really enjoyed it at the time. It was then I began researching what evidence there was for Architeuthis (the Giant Squid). Witness sightings through the centuries of massive ones over 200 feet long, quite terrifying to the imagination. Smaller ones found dead. And then, in 2004, Japanese researchers took the first images of a live giant squid in its natural habitat. The only other squid to exhibit abyssal gigantism came onto the radar recently as well: Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni AKA The Colossal Squid. There is another version of this title you do NOT want, as it has 65 minutes cut from the original miniseries. Although I see they've released a newer Blu-ray version with an extra 20 minutes added to this extended version.  Tammy K. (TK942) Reviewed on 6/20/2010... Great mini-series, that's perfect for anyone who is a fan of Jaws or William L. Petersen (CSI's Gilbert Grissom). 1 of 1 member(s) found this review helpful.
Movie ReviewsPeter Benchley's The Beast Brett R. Dick | GOLDEN VALLEY, MN United States | 06/19/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "Wow, waited a long time for this one, and finally it is here. This is the complete unedited Mini-Series that was first broadcast on NBC. Time to get rid of the short VHS and previous DVD releases as this one is the real deal. If you bought the first DVD release I'm sure you found out it was severely edited, missing about 64 previous minutes from the original mini-series. Rejoice it is all restored here in a very nice package for a very good price. This is one of the classic rubber monster flicks of the late 1990's and is terrific fun to watch, just buy it." This dvd version I rated 3 stars because it in cut and not t Golden Dragon | OH | 08/22/2007 (3 out of 5 stars) "I really loved this movie in its original TV mini series form which was played in two days when it was first shown on TV. This dvd shows that is it 120 mins, which means it is the direct transfer from the vhs version and has some really good scenes cut out of it. Like when William Petersen's character Whip Dalton gets drunk. They also cut out most of the relationship between Whip Dalton and Lt. Kathryn Marcus played by Karen Sillas which added to the story to make it well rounded. Thus, my rating of 3 stars instead of 5 stars. It is more choppy and you can see something is missing from the story. **** To Those who distrabute and own the rights to the movie please release the UNCUT version for those of us who enjoy a well rounded story. **** Thank you. I hope this review helps." A disappointment! Corey | MI | 09/18/2007 (1 out of 5 stars) "I bought this DVD with thoughts of receiving a full uncut version of the original movie and was very disappointed to get a movie that was cut. I didn't think they would have downsized it as all my other movie purchases were completely intact. DO NOT BUY this version if you were expecting the entire movie. I wished I would have known it before I purchased it."
