Movie Reviews of The Crocodile Hunter - Collision Course
Movie Review: The Crocodile Hunter - Collision Course
Summary: 5 Stars
Steve Irwin getting his own movie, crikey! (I know, that was lame) Collision Course is based off of the popular wildlife television series the Crocodile Hunter. When Collision Course was released in theaters, it did okay, but not amazing. That always confused me since he was widely known and respected but the movie didn't sit well with critics. The most frequent complaint is that the movie is pretty much just like the television show so there really is no reason for a movie. While yet it is very similar I have to disagree. While the television series is popular, releasing a movie lets many more people get educated about animals and also have some laughs as well. Another frequent complaint is that the CIA agents are unnecessary, they are, but I find them amusing and they make for a good time. One last complaint is that Steve and Terri aren't very good at acting, but you can't really criticize them too harshly, since they aren't really actors but wildlife conservationists. But, let's just ignore the critics and decide for ourselves. And since I'm not a critic, let me say that I loved this movie and if you've enjoyed Steve Irwin's work you'll definitely enjoy this movie. I was relieved that the scenes with Steve and Terri were quite similar to an episode of the Crocodile Hunter. You see, Steve is trying to relocate a crocodile before its shot by a local rancher, and two CIA agents are searching for a missing satellite beacon and they happen to run into each other for entirely different reasons. While yet this is a very unrealistic plot, it's very enjoyable. This movie really doesn't deserve a specific rating so you kind of have to decide for yourself. If you're into well made movies with a great plot and great actors this movie isn't for you, if you love wildlife, Steve Irwin and don't mind a silly plot than this is a great movie for you and I would recommend it.
Not only is the movie great, but the bonus features are fantastic as well. Many of the bonus features discuss the difficulty of filming animals. Since Collision Course is scripted, the film crew needs the animal in the scene to do a specific movement for the film crew to get a shot. But many of the animals in Collision Course are deadly and cannot be trained so it's very interesting seeing the way that Steve and the film crew get the shots they needed. Collision Course also has many deleted scenes, and also included are the movie's original theatrical trailers. The rest of the bonus features aren't as interesting but decent, there is a music video featuring the Baha Men, a photo gallery, and...sigh...DVD games. Oh yes, you can also select a feature called "pop-up croc track", this feature lets you read information about the animals and location during the movie. There are also one or two hidden features on the DVD menus if you want to search around for them. They're interesting but very brief.
Steve Irwin may be gone, but his legacy will never be forgotten and the Crocodile Hunter Collision Course is a great item to own to commemorate his unforgettable life.
