Movie Reviews of Boa
Movie Review: Not that bad (a LOT better than Python)
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't know why many people did not like this film. Its true, the snake gets very little screen time and is kept in the shadows most of the time, but the plot and the sequence of the movie were very good in my opinion. At least the snake in this movie doesn't change in size like the one in python. I'm also aware that the film doesn't deserve 4 stars. In my opinion it deserves 3 but I do not think that the overall average rating of 2.5 stars is fair. The only of the many flaws that bugged me was the change of size of the snake's blade in the tail. It ranged from being as big as half a person to being as small as a kitchen knife. But for people who have seen this type of movies many times it should not be much of a problem to see this. Recommend this product for people who do not get bugged by some minor details.Movie Review: The big Squeeze
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw the made for television version of this on Scifi Channel. I thought it was a great move better than King Cobra and a lot better than Anadconda. A giant snake get loose in a prision facility in Alaska and begins kill the inimate. Scientis are flown in to help them elimate the menace.Why not as big as the snake form python it is equaly strong and fierece. Cheesy parts at the end when the Plan take of the boa Is wraped around it. Saw it as a cheesy react mean of Sterling Horr from 20 thousand feet
Movie Review: sure
Summary: 4 Stars
Boa was entertaining and exciting, but the computer effects weren't as realistic as Python's and Anaconda's.Movie Review: A great bad movie
Summary: 3 Stars
Let me assume that you allready know that BOA is a very bad movie. Let me also assume that you are fan of bad movies for there is no other reason to even consider buying BOA on DVD. What makes Boa great is that you can tell that the filmakers tried to make something good and just failed miserbly. The movie is very funny and the humor is almost completly unintentional. Let me share with you one of the highlights.
After shooting one of thier own men, the military guys think they have the snake trapped. They shoot at it hitting a gas line which sits on fire for about a minute without exploding. That is just enough time for the boa to excape and the entire security crew to show up and die when the gas line finally does explode.
The rest of the movie has the same type of stupidity to it. Boa is easily the funniest of the big snake movies. Oh my god! I almost forgot, DEAN CAIN is in the movie. Dean Cain!!!
Movie Review: Not too terrible, if you like low-budget sci-fi
Summary: 3 Stars
This is about a giant snake that terrorizes the staff and prisoners (all 4 of them) at the world's most high-security prison, located in Antarctica. If you're a fan of low budget movies where "suspension of disbelief" is pretty much synonymous with "suspension of all thought processes", you may get a kick out of this. The acting isn't especially bad, the characters are basically likable, and the snake is bargain basement CGI. The sets and overall atmosphere are really the best part of the movie. The action moves along at a more or less acceptable pace, and the climax is so laughably stupid that you'll probably be telling people at work about it the next day.
Overall, not an especially good B-movie, but considering some of the utter garbage that's out there in the direct-to-video market these days, you could do much, much worse.
