Summary: from TV to DVD
Comment: i remember when this was on TV 12 yrs ago (1996) as a 2 night special. i loved watching it on TV, had the VHS player all set up to copy it and the soda and chips out both nights. was a great movie. i love Peter Benchley's books. the movie was almost a perfect match to the book minus some small parts. if your after a movie that will entertain you, make you laugh, make you sad and make you happy then this is a goer. if you like The Beast then check out Creature (1998) another movie based on Benchley's book White Shark, starring Craig T Nelson another TV movie made to DVD. loved that one when it was on TV too...

Summary: Finally found my son's favorite movie!!
Comment: I had been searching HIGH and LOW for the movie " THE BEAST " for my son,who currently is fascinated with squids. From video rental stores, to SAMS, Fred Meyers, video stores, and even second hand thrift shops! I couldn't find this movie anywhere, when I finally realized HELLO! Amazon.com! I found it in a matter of seconds and was able to order it and have it mailed just in time for my son's Birthday! The movie came in a two disc version, and looked as if it were bought right out of the store. The movie was a huge success with my son, he can not stop watching it. Thank you Amazon.com for helping me find those hard to find products! I will no doubt be back!!

Summary: Is the DVD as bad as the sleeve?
Comment: Just got this in the mail. Enjoyed the movie enough to want it (especially for Missy Crider... :) But this is the first DVD I've ever bought where the company that produced it didn't care enough to make sure to spell an actor's name correctly! Missy Crider is spelled "Missy Cider" on the back of the sleeve. Granted she's not a "big name" in the movie biz, but if I were her, I'd be royally pissed... I haven't watched the DVD yet, so I hope it has higher production values than this. Normally I'd give 3 1/2 stars for the movie, but I'm subtracting 1/2 point for the gaffe...

Summary: no closed captions , no subtitles , no excuse
Comment: if you are a deaf person don't bother buying this teriffic little television miniseries . likewise if you are hard of hearing or wish to read the dialogue and/or description of sounds depicted on screen . i highly anticipated this restoration of the complete mini-series as i'd read and quite enjoyed the book . the approx two hour film culled from this mini-series was a bit above mediocre if you'd read the book , but to go to the effort of fully restoring the complete and better total package (and not to have encoded either closed captions of subtitles) ought to be against the law . otherwise a fun film with a good cast with a pretty fair amount of effort put into it . what a blunder .
