A documentary film crew sails down the Amazon in search of a mystical and elusive tribe known as the Shirishama. They end up being terrorized and gobbled up by an enormous snake after having already been fatally waylaid by mystery man Paul Serone (Jon Voight).
"Anaconda" is simple-minded fun at its core. It might be too silly for the tastes of some viewers, but for me it's really good for laughs. The scares and suspense don't really exist and the special effects are variable (the animatronic snake(s) being more convincing than the computer-animated one). It *is* slickly made (director Luis Llosa keeps the movie moving well) and the location work and photography are quite impressive. The cast, including J-Lo, Eric Stoltz, Ice Cube, Owen Wilson, Jonathan Hyde, and Kari Wuhrer, is enjoyable to a point, but they are all playing it straight, whereas Voight, as the campy human villain, is so outrageous that he walks away with the entire movie. When all else fails, he can be counted on to provide this film with some entertainment value.
Although filmed on location in Brazil for over 70 minutes of running time, the climax was actually shot in L.A. County's Arboretum, which the filmmakers "dressed up" to try to pass it off as the jungle.
"Anaconda" can be fun to watch provided you go in with low (or no) expectations. I've seen it before and I still get a (mild) kick out of it.
Followed last year by "Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid", a sequel in name only.
