Boa (2002)
Movie Review by The Gravedigger
06.01.02

Boa (2002) I'm a sucker for giant animal movies--spiders, sharks, reptiles chomping on tiny humans--but this giant snake movie is really starting to put me off of them. The premise is a bit convoluted--an ultra maximum high security prison is built in the Antarctic for the world's worst criminals and the construction crew accidently unearths a giant Boa constrictor that was frozen in a nitrogen pocket. It starst to eat all the guards at the prison. Skip to two weeks later when the government hires an expert on prehistoric reptiles, paleontologist Dean Cain, who is assisted by his wife.Their plane is caught in a storm, they barely land--and are trapped in the isolated prison with the few survivors as the snake eats them one by one. Okay. First of all the digital effects for the snake sucks--sure, it's easier to animate something on CGI that is basically a rope--but I've seen better in a video arcade game. It's also out of proportion most of the time--sometime its Godzilla size, sometimes looking much smaller. And then there's the scene, almost exactly as in the movie PYTHON, where they fight the snake aboard a flying plane. It doesn't work. Nor does casting Dean Cain as the scientist--I kept on waiting for him to run in to a telephone booth and emerge with the big 'S' on his chest. A better title for the movie would have been 'BOAS AND CLARK'.!
