Somebody, I believe it was Eric Idle, once remarked regarding "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life" that it was one rewrite away from being a great film. Mammoth was one rewrite away from being ok. Actually let me quote from what I said in another thread,

The pacing was horible, the script uneven, the plot a contrived rehash, and the mammoth scenes seemed to be composed in such a way (very short shots, darkly lit, and from weird angles) as to hide how bad the CG looked. It had flashes of sureal goofyness in places (particularly in the later half) but it never mannaged to maintain any level of enjoyability for any length of time.
A note regarding the acting. A lot of talent was wasted in this film. Even the actors that aren't that great were better then their material and the standouts in the cast (Most notably Glau and Skerritt) were so much better than their lines that it really was painfull to watch.
All in all a movie strugling - without any great success - to achieve mediocrity.

Two. One to try to put it in and another to find a bigger hammer.

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

I tried to paraphrase Dazed and Confused, but I don't think it worked.

I only caught the last half hour, but...UGH. Just UGH.
The special effects were done in somebody's basement. The pacing was erratic. Five minutes into viewing, I was MSTing the gorram thing, chiefly with interjected 'Serenity' lines. "The mammoth's come home to roost..."
This movie was woefully beneath Summer's acting prowess. Glad to see her looking similar to the way she looked in 'Firefly', though - I thought she was a mite cuter there than in the BDM.
