Dumb dumb dumb. Bad as it was over all, the worst aspect was the silliness of the female characters. Only the geologist had occasional moments of lucidity and common sense. The other two were charter members of the "Help I've fallen and I can't get up" club. For instance, they are forever screeching their heads off whenever they see the monster's tentacles, when they should have kept quiet. The blond bimbo see something trying to burst through the cliff face. Instead of getting the hell out of there she stands there petrified till a giant tentacle emerges. Only then does she thing of escape. On the way off the mountain, she stops frequently to hug herself and to emote and chat with her boyfriend who should have left her behind. Then there are the scenes where the gals try to help the guys climb either a mountain slop or a ladder. Instead of getting to one side, they block the man's way and hold a hand out for the guy to grab. The black haired one thinks she need help going up a painter's ladder through the hatch in the ceiling. Then there was the dispatch of the monster. Even though the US government knows that Lincoln Mountain is ground zero, they dispatch a single team with a small shoulder fired rocket with a couple of tiny warheads. The whole missile is about the size of a small fire extinguisher. Why did they not just drop an atomic bomb on the beast? Or a bombload from a bunch of B-52s.
