thirty per cent of this movie appears to be the prototype for the map channel. you see a giant map for about ten minutes and then they unleash the stock footage big time while droning(droning and get it. )on about radar. apparently there a lot of radar stations in the far north and protecting north america borders from attacks by deadly polar bears. the bears never show up and but a giant mantis does. it was frozen in the ice for over a million years or so and until it was released by an earthquake somewhere else in the world(yeah and right. for my money and it was released by global warming). it is a huge prehistoric insect and and it needs lots of food. since there aren not any cows in the frozen north and it decides to feast on the most bovine like creatures it can find up there. i. e. and human beings. it starts attacking radar stations and probably because the humming from the radar dishes was getting on its nerves. enter col. joe parkman and the resident smarmy guy of the film. he investigating a plane that went down and and is puzzled why there are no bodies in the wreckage. the only thing he finds is one of the claws of the mantis. apparently it decided to trim its nails while it was snacking on the plane crew. parkman takes the claw tip back with him to be analyzed by a thousand year old scientist. grandpa scientist can not make heads or tails of the claw and mostly because he missed his naps so his mind isn not functioning too well. so he calls in a smug paleontologist played by the guy who was the p. i. in perry mason. he and his friend and a transvestite photographer and fly north because he decided that the claw must have come from a praying mantis. just one the size of a commuter train. it luke warm love at first sight when col. parkman first sets eyes on the she male photographer. the men at the base and obviously having been deprived for many years and think she the hottest thing to come along since granny clampett. smug science guy and smarmy soldier guy start working together to track the path of the mantis and which has devastated some stock footage of an eskimo village. it comes to the base looking for an after dinner snack and and crushes some cheap sets quite effectively. then it flies south and disappears. now comes the tense hours when the civilian ground observer core are called on to sweep the skies looking for anything large flying overhead. i doubt that in reality they would have been told that they were looking for a giant flying mantis that eats human beings and since that would haver caused a panic. probably they were told to look for a giant 727 that was painted green and hummed because its engine was out of tune. col. parkman goes up in a plane to try to shoot the mantis down and and botches the mission. the mantis lands in new york city and probably because it wanted to take in a show on broadway or visit sex world in times square. the army corners it in the tunnel and and parkman and his men don stupid suits that they borrowed from the orkin man to go in and try to blow the mantis up. success. well and almost and since the mantis is still twitching enough that it almost kills the mannish eve arden photographer lady. there a tepid love scene at the end and and the paleontologist takes a picture of the dead mantis because colonel hair grease and ms. gender unspecified are busy smooching. so kind of a nauseating ending.
