Komodo Dragon eggs get dropped on a tropical island. Skip nineteen years. A kid and his parents go to vacation on the island at the WRONG time-the kid barely manages to escape but the big lizards eat his parents and his little dog, too. He becomes nearly comatose. Skip some more years, after which time a therapist wants to take him back to the island to confront his fear, again at the WRONG time. Those lizards are still darn hungry. It seems that the oil drilling company on the island has killed off all the wildlife and the lizards are starving-BUT WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN EATING FOR THE PAST NINETEEN YEARS TO GET SO HUGE!?!?!?! The two oil guys on the island don't seem to know this answer, much less how to convincingly say their wooden lines. Although the computer effects are decent if not gazed on too long and the animatronics are near convincing this has to be one of the stupidest animal attack movies in decades. Want to watch giant animals kill people? Watch NIGHT OF THE LEPUS!
