Megaboa

Megaboa" is a pretty by-the-numbers creature feature, you know the usual drill. Cardboard characters walk through the woods because you can film without permits there, get eaten, people mourn for about ten seconds and on to the next one. This movie doesn't stray much from that formula, and would be unremarkable if it wasn't for the Eric Roberts material. Roberts is in this movie a lot more than I expected, actually. Usually B-movies like this just get him for a day and keep him in one location to get their name actor footage as quickly and cheaply as possible. There's a lot of talk about famous people phoning in performances, but Roberts often does that literally. His 'characters' in creature features are actually authority figures (generals, federal agents, things like that) that spend all their screen time speaking on the phone or through a headset. Just to see him in the same shot as the other characters was pretty shocking to me. The best part of this movie is how laid-back his character is while there's a megaboa devouring everyone. I don't know if he had weed on him but geez, he doesn't care at all! He looks at drone footage of a gigantic, agressive snake like he's watching "Blue's Clues". My students are about to die? Ah, they've probably had a good life. His Southern drawl and big white smile just add to the fun. Did I mention he's in a lawn chair for much of the movie? And hell, a snake eating people will never not be entertaining, even with dollar store CGI and a truly anti-climactic ending. I guess I... recommend it?

Terrible acting, casting, directing and script but the worst was the 1970"s cartoon quality special affects of a 200+ foot snake with all the actors claiming it was "50 to 60 feet". You could make a better jungle thriller with actual college students in a park with a rubber snake and filmed on iphones. Probably the only redeeming quality of this film is the great drone shots of bare wilderness but you can easily skip through this one in under 10 minutes without missing any plot or thrills.

Yes I know all of these types of films have terrible cgi and acting. This time around the boa wasn't great but atleast it moved well. Eric roberts wasn't to bad and was enjoyable enough. Overal a decent monster movie if you like this kind of film.

No beating around the bush on this flick. It is as bad every negative reviewer has already stated but it's not as bad other movies released in 2021. Bad acting, bad dialogue, stupid decisions and plot holes big enough to drop an entire galaxy into. Knowing that this was a cheesy sci-fi made by Asylum I figured it might be a coin toss if I'd even be able to bear watching it to the end. Surprisingly I did manage to stomach the stupidity to the end and found myself rooting for the snake. An example of the bad acting and dialogue was when the bimbos are arguing with the poacher asking why he didn't mention the snake, duh, he did when you first met at the campfire dummy. And the biggest let down was that not all of the more annoying younger characters were killed off by the snake.

Love the movie scary but love the movie probably watch it again show everyone really good movie we love the scary movie just wanted to let everyone know ok your welcome.
