A team of UFO investigators must fight for survival after they find themselves being hunted by monsters on the slopes of Mount Adams.

Director Phillip Wade relates the enjoyable story at a quick pace, takes time to develop the characters, maintains an admirably sincere tone throughout, makes good use of the lovely forest locations, and stages the monster attack scenes with aplomb. The solid acting by the capable cast helps a lot: Tim Wade as the likeable Glen Craven, Emily Sweet as the perky Lily Lantz, Matthew O'Donnell as the sarcastic Thomas, Phillip Wade as happy-go-lucky camera tech guy Blake, Allesondra Helwig as the spunky Kim, Greg James as rugged guide Bill Jefferson, and Edward Stiner as friendly old-timer Richard Croos. A cool little flick.

Glen (Tim Wade) and Lilly (Emily Sweet) are alien monster hunters who plan on spending three days on Mount Adams which had both alien and monster sightings. They go up with a camera crew and don't do much film shooting. The monsters (plot spoiler) come in 10 minutes from the end and look like something from a Polonia Brothers film. The acting was bad. Emily Sweet came across as a cartoonish Anna Faris. Edward Stiner needs to go back to non-speaking roles.

Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity. Emily Sweet goes to sleep fully clothed still wearing a bra. Adult brother and sister have a pillow fight.

Wow, just what was this atrocity of a movie supposed to be?

First of all, the movie's cover/poster has the words "based on the true phenomenon" on it. True phenomenon? Dinosaurs with red eyes, huge bugs and spaceships? Sure, true phenomenon. Right...

Then there was the storyline. Wow. Are you kidding me? What were writers Tim Wade, Phillip Wade and Just B. Jordan thinking when they sat down to write the script and storyline for "Mount Adams"? It was just laughably ridiculous.

The acting in the movie was adequate for a movie such as this, and with taking the fact that the script was just god awful bad into consideration, then the actors and actresses weren't doing too shabby jobs actually. There weren't any familiar faces among the cast ensemble though.

Visually then I will actually say that "Mount Adams" wasn't bad. Sure, this wasn't top of the line Hollywood production CGI that will bedazzle you and blow you away. But the CGI effects and practical effects throughout the movie were actually fair enough.

However, the movie was just a swing and a miss in terms of being entertaining and enjoyable. And that was solely because of an inferior and downright stupid script and storyline.

My rating of "Mount Adams" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
