Review by paul_m_haakonsen

I have to say that I was definitely lured in by this 2019 movie's cover. I picked up the movie and was immediately drawn in by the movie's interesting cover, and thus I opted to sit down and watch this 2019 Chinese action movie, without ever having heard about it, or knowing what it was about.

I have to admit that I was definitely astonished by how writers Shengfan Zhang and Pianjia Leng could manage to put together such a dumpster fire of a storyline. The storyline in "Snow Monster" was just utter rubbish. I kid you not when I say that there literally was no contents to the script and storyline presented here. This was just merely CGI eye-candy.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in "Snow Monster", nor can I say that I am able to pinpoint anyone for putting on a memorable performance. First of all, the actors and actresses literally had nothing to work with in terms of a properly written script and storyline. And the dialogue was every bit as shallow and horrible as the characters were flaccid and one-dimensional. So the actors and actresses in "Snow Monster" didn't stand a snowballs chance in Hell of putting on anything worthwhile or memorable.

What makes "Snow Monster" bearable to watch is the CGI and special effects. And that was essentially all that the movie had to offer, sadly so. The creatures looked nice and had interesting designs, but it just simply couldn't make up for the utter lack of an interesting storyline.

Don't waste your time with "Snow Monster", because this simply isn't worth the effort. Some of us suffered through this ordeal from director Huang He, so you don't have to. I managed to endure all 83 minutes of slow paced nonsense, but let me just say that I will never return to this movie a second time.

My rating of "Snow Monster" lands on a two out of ten stars.
