I watched this because there was nothing else on TV. Really, it wasn't too awful bad. The plot was pretty generic. A scientist creates a sabretooth tiger for the fame, the tiger escapes, eats some people, and the tiger is killed, the end.
The trouble with TV movies is they don't have the mega-budgets that their big screen sisters have, so they make the best of what they have. In this case, you can clearly see the tiger is nothing more then a puppet, and computer animation, and you may have heard of these actors, but none of them are exactly marquee property. Of course, this is nothing new, and that's a good description of this movie.
Over all, I enjoyed this movie, but had I saw it on the big screen as it is (especially at today's ticket prices) I would have been really ticked off, but as a TV movie it wasn't all that bad. It reminds me of the old 50s sci-fi flicks in many ways, only you don't see someone running around in a tiger suit, and lots of stock footage.
