a5c7b9f00b When a documentary crew traveling through the Amazon jungle, picks up a stranded man, they are unaware of the trouble that will occur. This stranger's hobby is to capture the giant Anaconda snake, and plans to continue targeting it on their boat, by any means necessary.
A film crew headed by anthropologist Steve Cale and director Terri Flores journey through a river to find a mysterious Indian tribe and shoot a documentary on them. They save a guy called Paul Sarone from a sinking boat. He offers to help in their search for the tribe, but he is actually a snake-hunter looking for legendary anaconda snake, and when Cale is bitten by some tropical insect, Sarone takes over the boat.
** stars out of **** Anaconda, a creature feature starring Jon Voight and Jennifer Lopez, never particularly struck mea movie that would find an audience. And yet, it did, grossing 16 million dollars over the first weekend, before ending its run with a little over 65 million. I saw the movie myself, and it's really not much more than a Jaws clone. Sure, it's infinitely better than all those unwatchable "realistic" creature flicks in the 80's, but it's at best mediocre.<br/><br/>Terri Flores (Jennifer Lopez) is a documentary filmmaker who could possibly have her big break with the help of an archaeologist (Eric Stoltz), who believes he may have found the location of a lost tribe. With a crew that consists of cameraman Danny Rich (Ice Cube), soundmen Gary Dixon (Owen Wilson) and Denise Kalber (Kari Wuhrer), and the documentary's pompous narrator, Westridge (Jonathan Hyde), they set down the Amazon River of South America in search of the tribe.<br/><br/>They come across a stranded man named Sarone (Jon Voight), a seemingly harmless fellow who has a sinister secret to hide. It seems he has plans to capture an anaconda, one of the largest snakes known to man, and he's going to force the crew to help, whether they like it or not. The danger heightens, when they must not only deal with the madman, but with a ferocious snake that seems to be hunting them down.<br/><br/>Anaconda has a trashy script, plain and simple. Writers Hans Bauer and Jim Cash obviously weren't thinking of writing anything thought-provoking, and they opted to crank out a thriller that features inane dialogue and contrived plot situations.<br/><br/>The acting isn't very good, either. Jon Voight plays his part with his tongue stuck firmly in his cheek, and the result is pretty funny (I believe the effect is intentional). Jennifer Lopez tries hard, but she really doesn't impress. The same goes for rapper/actor Ice Cube. Kari Wuhrer is fairly decent, surprisingly enough (she's also quite sexy and better looking than Lopez). Everybody else fails to make an impression, or are either just therefodder.<br/><br/>But the movie does have some reedeemable factors. For one thing, the fact that director Luis Llosa and Jon Voight know that the material is bad helps a bit. This acknowledgement keeps unintentional laughter a tad lower than what would be expected from a film of this sort. The movie also moves at a fast clip, and I was never really bored at all. The action scenes are competent enough to stray away from anything too laughable, though the ending does stretch plausability (the snake has more lives than a cat).<br/><br/>The special effects are of a hit-and-miss variety. When it is animatronic, the snake is an impressive and realistic looking sight. As for the CGI, that is not so impressive, to the extent where closeups of the snake have a cartoonish look and feel to it.<br/><br/>As it goes, Anaconda will probably appease afficianados of this sort of film. It has a fast pace, gorgeous cinematography, nice eye candy, and a slightly campy tone that will thrill certain viewers. Everybody else should steer clear or watch with low expectations.
I Saw this movie on VHS Years ago and it was just awful and I Disagree with both siskel and ebert, this movie is so bad on every scene, it makes me wanna cringe, the premise, A National geographic crew goes to the amazon to look for this, when all of sudden a Giant snake attacks them and with the help of a hunter, played with embarrassment by one of my favorite actors John Voight tries to stop the snake and kill it before it kills anybody else, this is not only one of the worst movies of all time, but one of the worst films ever made, the acting is horrible, the special effects are not very good, the writing is pathetic and the only thing is saves this movie from a half to no star rating is the beautiful amazon river, otherwise this movie is a waste of time and your money.<br/><br/>Wanna see a better monster movie, See Jaws.
If only director Luis Llosa and his cast could see the joke and seize upon it; instead, like its computer-morphed snake, the film doesn't have a clever bone in its body.
