Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

This giant-man-eating-snake-in-the-jungle thriller definitely scores points as a guilty pleasure, especially with Jon Voight hamming it up as the monster-poacher. He makes life miserable for a team of documentary filmmakers on the Amazon river. Anaconda is one of those movies that exists for no other reason than to give computer animators a chance to strut their stuff with a new digital beastie, and they don't disappoint. It's a lot of fun to watch the mega-snake scarf down its victims and--in the case of Voight--regurgitate him right back up again, all covered in gooey digestive juices. You might wonder why Eric Stoltz, who plays Dr. Steven Cale, showed up for a role that requires him to be off-screen for most of the movie,but hey--when it comes to big snake movies, you might as well put your brain on hold and sitback for the slimy ride. --Jeff Shannon


Synopsis

In the Amazon jungle, a documentary crew rescue a loner who turns out to be a man obsessed. He makes life dangerous for them all as he attempts to capture a lethal forty-foot anaconda...

5.0 out of 5 stars So bad it's good!, 2 Jan 2007
By Mr. E. Balch "teddyjaap" (Berkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Anaconda [DVD] [1997] (DVD)
Okay, it's not going to be winning any awards for script writing, plotlines or even CGI effects but as guilty pleasures go, this is right up there! The snake itself its a little over the top to say the least, including the scene when it starts flying vertically upwards out of the water. If you expect nothing from this film and just sit back and prepare to laugh at it's unuintended comic genius, you'll be a happy customer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really cool creature feature flick with great actors!, 13 April 2009
By Mr. Per A. Edwards - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Anaconda [DVD] [1997] (DVD)
Loved this one for a long time and finally got round to buying it. Still just as brilliant. A group of people set out into the jungle in search of an ancient tribe when they come across Paul Sarone who is obsessed with catching the largest snake in the jungle. The anaconda which turns out to be lethal.
The acting in Anaconda is brilliant and the well-known cast shines. J-LO is pretty good as a strong female lead. Eric Stoltz is... well he is unconscious for most of the film but he's good whenever he appears. Jon Voight is particularly good as the villain, Sarone and Ice Cube proves to be very competent. I also enjoyed appearances from Jonathan Hyde and the legendary Owen Wilson in this groovy flick. Sure, the CGI is slightly dated by todays standards but it still stands up as being quite cool and the whole jungle river setting (The team are on a boat) really gives the film a very unique feeling that you only experience when people are in a jungle, sailing down a swampy river on a boat. It reminded me of when they do it in Jurassic Park 2 or 3 or something like that but anywho, the film is very engaging and the quality is very good on this DVD.
I would highly recommend getting this as soon as possible. The cast alone warrents at least a rental!

1.0 out of 5 stars Love this film but the DVD is a pain to play! hence 1 star, 14 Mar 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Anaconda [DVD] [1997] (DVD)
I have had 2 copies of this movie Anaconda on DVD from Amazon, Region 2, PAL. The DVD is encoded in an uncommon standard and therefore is not recognised by many DVD players. A DVD player from around 2001/2002 seems to play the disc perfectly, it does not play on computer DVD drives. I have sent both copies back to amazon. I suppose Anaconda is a film I'll never be able to have on DVD or maybe not for a while. I have a big DVD collection and everyone plays perfectly on players of all ages. All round this film is excellent, just don't buy it on DVD unless you have a player purchsed in 2001/2002.
