Review – Fire Serpent

Though for the most part this is typical Sci Fi Channel fare, it actually turns out to be a bit better in some ways. For example, they’re using the usual bad CGI to create the monster. But because it’s made out of fire, it’s actually a bit on the scary side. If nothing else, the flickering flames blur it enough to make it look less computer-gamey. We also get characters with rational – or at least consistent – motivations. A fireman whose buddy is killed by the monster traces it to a sinister government agent up to no good. Though I can’t go quite all the way to “worth seeing,” this is a measure above most other movies of its ilk. Mildly amusing
