A
group of scientists who think that they may have discovered a
way to prolong life through the use of a rare flower, known as
the blood orchid, head deep into the rain forest of Borneo to
look for the flower. Charting a floating junk heap called the
Bloody Mary, the group and the two shipmates head up river in
search of the flower, however they run into a world of terror
as they stumble into a nest of anacondas who are in the throws
of mating season. Hold your breath and squeeze the one your near
because the hunt is on.
This
sequel to Anaconda starts
off on a great pace, but can't seem to catch it's breath after
the initial burst. The film is your basic group of people head
into the woods and big hungry critter starts to chow down story
line. There is a little human backstabbing that goes on as well.
The cast is made up of people I have never seen before, but they
all do a good job.
The
best is the chiseled captain Johnny Messner, this guy could be
the next big action star, the rest of the cast is your standard
group of tag alongs who are all gonna end up snake chow at one
time or another.
The
story is pretty decent but it takes awhile to get going and we
don't get a real good snake attack until about 35 minutes into
the film. Also the ending is a little over the top and some of
the dialog was hokey at best.
My
biggest complaint with this film was the snake effects. When the
snakes were shown gliding through the water or jungle grounds,
they looked good. However any up close or attack shot and they
looked faker than that penis in my HW Gallery photo, not that
that was fake or anything. The CGI used on the snakes in the attack
scenes are almost as bad as the ones in Boa
and Python, they are just a
wee bit better. Also all the snakes seemed to have massive fangs.
Why? I don't know.
If
I had my choice to see this one again or watch the original, I'd
go with the original, but this one is ok to chug a gallon of soda
to and munch on some popcorn.
