CmnFlix - Beast

John L

In this movie it's tough to decide which is more ridiculous: the lion's poor hunting ability, the humans' decision making or Idris' accent. Shoddy.

Damyn S

The Jaws-style Lion adventure film fails to enthral with wooden dialogue and predictability. The anti-poacher rhetoric was a nice touch however.

x

Zavier F

Shut your brain off and it's a pretty good movie

x

Alan I

Terrible. No sense. You can imagine the final as soon as the friendly lions appear. The 1v1 vs the beast was lame, impossible and ridiculous.

x

Jhoan C

This is just what I expected for a movie about a killer lion. Idris Elba performs well in his role. The CGI effects of the lions are phenomenal. But most of all, I loved those long long shots. Very good.

x

Micah S

Appalling. Pacing, plot, all of it. At least it was relaxing cuz you don't have to worry about talking over it; nobody sitting with you will care.

x

Hannah R

So silly and stupid. Just got more and more annoyed the more I watched it. Intense but so predictable and annoying. I actually feel like I had déjà vu watching it.

x

Daniel F

If you're expecting Idris Elba Vs a lion, then you're getting exactly that. A lean survival thriller with plenty of tension.

x

Stephanie P

The most annoying / stupid characters in any show ever. Infuriating to watch.

x

mendosa D

This movie was terrible. Storyline was less than original and the acting was atrocious. How has this even made it to screening.

x

Ric O

The first and second acts are good but the fight during third act is the main reason why you must see it.

x

Shelby J

Not worth watching, very far fetched and terrible acting.

x

FunkoPasion L

Very dynamic and with a great script. The only bad thing is that many of the lion's fights are off camera.

x

Rob L

Terrible script, acting was awful, the two daughters were so annoying, I'd have fed them to the lion just to shut them up. That all said, it entertains and is thankfully a short film.

x

Diana I

Initially, it was an interesting movie but the ending was far fetched.

x

Gareth D

Not great, but not terrible. An interesting enough twist with the crazed demonic killer being a wronged Lion, other than that, nothing much happens.

x

Thrish P

A frustrating watch in that any given scenario, the characters make the dumbest decisions possible.

x

Mike K

Ridiculous film. How difficult is it to shoot a lion for crying out loud?

x

RC

Cool CG. Plot and acting were meh. Ending was eye-rolling. Mostly I was just sad I wasted my time. Big cats just aren't that scary.

x

Brandon Richardson

It boasts great visual effects and production design. But ultimately, the only interest audiences will find is that Idris Elba fights a lion.

x

Bryan B

Jaws meets cujo in Africa. CGI lion kills dozens at a time effortlessly until the final bout with main character that turns into a 2min mauling he walks away from.

x

marty m

How does this flick have a 6.8 audience score? All the reviews ive read did not shower the film with praise. The daughters have no acting chops and this cg lion is the poorest hunter ever.

x

Tapio K

Horrible acting and script.

x

Jelisije J

Probably the best wold animal attack movie since Jaws.

x

Beto C

I don't know what to say, but Beast is one of those killer animal movies that has soul and a good exciting story/movie.

x

Jerry P

After about 15 minutes, I was rooting for the lion to eat the two sisters. Especially poor and annoying was the older that I don't care enough to even find out her name.

x

mplmpaull

Horrible acting. Really stupid premise. A lion in Africa is smarter than everyone. Pathetic stupid move followed by stupid move. This movie may be entertaining to 8 year olds who believe lions use the internet to hunt victims.

x

Grant M

Terrible acting, terrible story, terrible writing, terrible movie.

x

mark S

If you're looking for modicum of realism this is not the movie for you, if you want to see Idris Elba and his family avoid a lion for 90 mins then this might be for you. I had fun, check it out for something to throw on in the background.

x

mintwab y

just because you have Idris Elba in your film that doesn't mean it was a good movies.

x

Jadah W

This movie is so dumb what type of farther leaves his kids alone several times in an un none area. The oldest daughter is stupid and annoying no black people would ever be in this situation this is unrealistic.

x

JD

good movie for a lazy summer

x

Alex P

This movie is pointless trash. Everything you need to see, or don't need to see because it is a waste of time, is featured in the trailer. Someone must have had some dirt on Idris Elba for him to have been in this mess.

x

JT H

This film was entertaining. It's nothing special really but it has some neat jumpscares and cool action at times. Other than that, there's really nothing else.

x

Leandro C

After watching this patetic movie I had the impression the script was written by a 3 year old kid. It is an insult to my inteligence. I rooted for the lion all the time. The dumbest plot ever.

x

wes t

Good action but show's characters making nonsensical decisions.

x

gwen t

I couldn't get past the 2 daughters actions who kept ignoring their father's advice and kept putting all of their lives in more danger.

x

BL

Survival of the fittest on the Sahara, Super Entertaining!

x

A.W.J.M. B

Quite improbable reactions from the cast upon the threat. Underestimating lions when searching prey: nose and ears are equally important as eyesight. Escaping is not likely when you are not as fast as a zebra or wildebeast.

x

Steve D

No more or less than advertised.

x

Charlie L

Hilariously bad - but are you watching it for any other reason?

x

Marco D

A solid action film with a great looking CGI lion!

x

Chris R

What a truly awful film, formulaic with lame performances. Oh how I wanted them to get eaten by the lion.

x

Emilliano Jr S

Plain, simple, low expectations.

x

Thom G

An entertaining ride

x

Alec B

I like its simplicity but the movie can only sustain suspense for so long and after a while the silliness of the premise starts to get out of control.

x

Ella T

the old man literally got exploded and the child walked away

x

Junior M

Bad acting. To much going on , and the two girls are horrible

x

JB M

This is Cujo in Africa.

x

Narciso R

Terrible movie, everyone does what they shouldn't. Yes, to raise the emotions. But when everyone does the wrong thing, it just pisses you off. Terrible movie. NRJ.

x

Jesper j

Action from the girls, are beyond bad

x

I enjoyed this movie. Idris Elba was great (as always). I just wish the movie was longer. I felt like they could have made it longer and added to the characters back story.

x

Fiona C

The movie was okay but i found the two daughters annoying.

x

Emm B

Bad script bad acting very bad lion. Do not waste your time

Believe me, im only giving the star for the sake of Idris Alba performance. The script, the story,the decision making, all are BAD BAD BAD

x

steel r

The definition of horrible ! The acting rise my blood pressure so in self defence I had to rapidly turn off my TV. The movie is beyond bad , stay safe , stay away.

x

T T

So bad in every aspect. Very disappointing for an actor of Idris' capabilities. Did anyone read the script before filming this mess?

x

Liah

Held my attention entire movie

x

Sherri W

One giant advert for why people who work in the wilderness should have a sat phone. Characters acted stupidly, park warden woefully ill equipped, grabbing a gun but not ammo??? - just couldn't get over how contrived it was.

x

Pongo K

It's ok, but don't expect too much.

x

Juan R

Unrealistic and with repeated scenes. I definitely do not recommend it!

x

Jonny la Gente E

Esta toda mensa la película

x

Elizabeth H

Mare's acting was poor. How can a teenage girl keep exiting the safe car to point out the lion whereabouts? I live in Africa - we fear lions!! She cats like lions are domestic house cats.
