Editorial Review:

Product Description:
A high-voltage thriller with enough spine-snapping suspense to literally take your breath away. The 1 box office hit follows a young film crew as they are hijacked by a hunter obsessed with a mythic man-eating snake. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 11/15/2005 Starring: Jennifer Lopez Eric Stoltz Run time: 89 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Luis Llosa

Amazon.com:
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 'em 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 sit back for the slimy ride. --Jeff Shannon

I received my purchased in adequate time in good satisfactory condition. Thanks so much for your service.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Original Beautiful Cover vs New Ugly Cover
Mom and I were very disappointed with Amazon.com upon receiving this DVD. This page is deceptive: It shows the original cover of the movie (which we already had on VHS). We wanted to have this movie on DVD and looked everywhere we could think of to try to find an edition of the DVD with the original cover and not the cover showing the people. When I saw this page I thought this was it. Alas, we received the movie yesterday and when we opened the box it was the new cover with the actors on it instead ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Anaconda
Do you ever get in the mood to watch people eaten by large creatures? I have for years. Not in real life of course but I love the giant creature SciFi movies. This has a decent cast with Jennifer Lopez, Eric Stoltz, Ice Cube, Jonathan Hyde, and Jon Voight. It is reasonably good and worth at least a rental. The story is a documentary crew looking for a lost tribe in South America heading up river meet up with a man that captures snakes. It is trouble of the worst kind for them as he heads them into dangerous ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Chuckles Galore
Look, I'm more worried about a slithering snake coming up out of the john than a 40-foot anaconda devouring me (after breaking every bone in my bod), but if I want to be entertained by goofball campiness I'm going to watch ANACONDA. A group of tenderfeet "filmmakers," dominated by a scene-crunching poacher, floating down the Amazon while being terrorized by hissing CGI is a chuckle-fest deluxe. This flick is fun, and, after numerous viewings, continues to furnish ear-to-ear mirth: some of it intentional, ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not a bad movie
This movie its quite good in my opinion. Even though the critics gave it mostly bad reviews and the snakes look fake at times this movie has some solid acting and good action sequences. The story (if there's any in this type of films) ain't that bad, especially for a movie of that genre. Although many people may not like this movie, this movie did started another branch in the genre of animal flicks (python, boa, python 2, boa vs. python, etc.). Recommend this and its sequel as well. (Anacondas: Hunt for the ... Read More
