Profile of Anaconda

The mood of Anaconda is scary and suspenseful. The plot centers around dangerous animals, an obsessive quest, and survival. It is a horror and adventure movie. Stylistically, Anaconda is a film in a film. In approach, it is serious and realistic. The pacing is fast. Anaconda takes place, at least partly, in a jungle. The setting is South America. It happens in the 1990s. Anaconda is especially suggested for teens and a boys' night. Note that it includes strong violent content.

Summary of Anaconda

A big-budget B-movie thrill ride, Anaconda stars Jon Voight as Sarone, a hardened, crusty river man riding the Amazon who is rescued by a film crew when the propeller on his boat malfunctions. The crew, led by director Terri Flores (Jennifer Lopez), hopes to make a documentary about the Amazon tribe known as The People of the Mist. She is joined by her cinematographer (Ice Cube) and a scientist (Eric Stoltz), among others. Unfortunately for all of them, a monstrous, 40-foot anaconda--which habitually swallows its prey whole--is on the rampage. The snake, which is a marvel of effects technology achieved through a seamless combination of animatronics and computer animation, helped make this one of the box office success stories of 1997.

How did Ebert like this film. Other than Voight there is not much here to see but I think that this is how Snakes on a Plane got started. Come on put 2 and 2 together. Read and rate it
