An American college football team flying to Japan don't make it when their aeroplane is involved in what must be the most pathetic 'plane crash in movie history & they find themselves stranded in Canada, sorry I mean the Himalayas! Amazingly there are a number of survivors who appear totally unscathed by the ordeal. However it's not just cold & starvation that they have to battle against ("Alive" springs to mind) but also a bloodthirsty Yeti who happens to live near their crash site.
Apparently it took 3 1/2 hours a day for the guy to be made up into the creature but he still looks crap. Even worse when he moves at speed (quite ridiculously) the male actor is substituted for very poor CGI. In addition to a rubbish 'plane crash we also get a rubbish avalanche. Acting & script are both poor. Despite being in the wild for about a week all of the guys stay clean shaven. And despite being a college team most of the actors were aged late 20's to early 30's.
Granted there is a bit of gore but that doesn't make up for the fact that this movie is dreadful & a waste of my £2 (supermarket budget section).

Completely ridiculous but also highly entertaining SyFy channel schlock. The story's about a plane carrying a college football team and company that crashes in the Himalayas. No, they aren't going to have to eat each other. But they will have to band together to survive the elements and a killer Yeti.Not a bad cast. Crystal Lowe alone makes it worth seeing. Joining her are Carly Pope, Ed Marinaro, Ona Grauer, and Peter DeLuise. Scorsese is no doubt jealous. It doesn't take itself seriously and that helps a lot because, well, it's a SyFy movie and they are notoriously terrible. The special effects are a joke, of course. So is the script. But there's a cheesy charm about the whole thing that makes it very watchable. It's definitely a "so bad it's good" type of movie.

This movie was so bad, I watched it for the comic effect. If you're at all knowledgeable about aircraft or an aviation buff, you'll find the plane wreck sequence an absolute laugh. The debris field looks exactly what it really is; stuff from a boneyard just plopped into the snow. Stuff that probably wouldn't happen: the "rescuers" fly into the Tibetan highlands with minimal outdoor gear to search for the lost plane,no extreme cold weather gear, supplemental oxygen,no assistance from national assets like satellites, etc; and the survivors make a campfire in the wreckage area where there may be hundreds of pounds of Jet-A soaked into the snow. And watch the rapid decompression sequence. Oh, well.A couple of the other reviewers were quite right. It's just one cliché after another. The intelligent hot babe who can upstage men, dealing with a predominantly male environment; the nice guy who humbles himself to her and gets on her good side; the lecherous jock; the scared young woman, etc, etc ad nauseum. Do yourself a favor, get another DVD, change the channel, or get one of those streaming sites for your computer and watch something else. Unless, of course, you're really hurting for a few laughs.

The SCI-FI channel brings us another addition to the man eater series, YETI picks up with a bunch of college football players traveling by plane, whose plane crashes in the Himalayas and find themselves having to try and survive the cold and fend of a carnivorous yeti.YETI isn't something I would call a masterpiece, but it is also not one of the worst films ever made, it is mainly just a good time passer to say the least, sure it has tacky looking CGI, it has dialog that is nothing to write home about, and the yeti looks like chewbacca's angry cousin with a bad tan, the acting however is not all bad, I would say that maybe one or two cast members were not so good, and the others did all right.Overall, its a low budget made for TV movie, nothing special, but not the worst film that's out there, and it features chewbacca's angry cousin with a bad tan.
