This Movie is exactly what you think it is, Although there was actually a plot. If you like Sam Jackson in Formula 51, then you should see his. The snakes CAN be a little over the top. But I found this flick to be more Comedy Thriller than Action Thriller. I gave it 2.5 stars but can be a 3 star if in the right mood.

Better than _Snakes on a Train_. _Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid if possible._

Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend, especially for a bad movie night. For such a horrible premise, this actually holds up pretty well. It's a bad movie, but it's still pretty entertaining. The snakes almost have the same behavior / pacing as a "blob", slowly seeping through the plane and over taking people bit by bit. Without a veteran actors like Samuel L. Jackson or Kenan Thompson to hold things together this could have easily fallen apart in a much worse way. The "realism" is certainly not a concern. While pheromones are a thing that can incite some behaviors, snakes aren't loyal to each other, especially different species. Once you accept the initial scenario, every ridiculous thing that happens is funny, and the tension is up just because you have no idea wh

I remember the amount of hype behind this movie back in 2006 but that didn't translate into box office success (only made like $60M worldwide). This is only my second viewing and while entertaining enough and plenty of cheese, it's just a SyFy movie with a big star and slightly better visual effects which here weren't very good. Jackson for his part seemed to have plenty of fun but there's nothing particularly memorable outside of his famous line. **3.0/5**

Ridiculous premise, perfect execution For a premise this bonkers the movie ought not work, and yet it does. It is highly over the top, but it just works. The casting, acting, direction and production works really well, to give a fantastic product in the end. Sure, the movie has aged, and some of its special effects have aged, but they are grand for their time, and hold up pretty well, I think. I highly recommend it.
