Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

StuOz Sexy Jennifer Lopez, evil Jon Voight and Mr Cool Owen Wilson are on a boat attacked by a giant snake.As an another reviewer noted, this flick has sort of a retro Creature From The Black Lagoon-feel to it which draws me in. Also, a touch of a disaster movie as we have a mixed bunch of people stuck in a confined space (a small boat).The music score, which nicely plays under the dialogue, is very effective.The now dated CGI does a bit of damage to the flick as a whole, but with a cast like Lopez/Voight/Wilson...we have other things to focus on.

gwnightscream Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Jon Voight, Jonathan Hyde and Eric Stoltz star in this 1997 thriller. Lopez (Selena) plays Terri, a filmmaker who tries to make a documentary depicting the Amazon river and an ancient tribe that resides there. Soon, she and her crew find a mysterious man, Serone (Voight) who is stranded and help him. They discover he's a snake hunter who tries using them as bait to catch a giant, deadly snake that stalks them. Cube plays Terri's friend, Danny, Hyde (Richie Rich) plays professor, Westridge and Stoltz (Pulp Fiction) plays professor, Cale. This isn't great, but not bad, the cast is OK and the Anaconda is creepy. This is one of many creature features that followed in the footsteps of "Jaws" and I recommend it if you enjoy killer things in the water.

Uriah43 This movie begins with a film crew heading out on a large boat up the Amazon River in search of a lost Indian tribe known in legend as the Shirishamas. Along the way they pick up a man named "Paul Serone" whose boat has broken down and needs assistance. They agree to take him with them and are delighted when he tells them that he has actually seen the Shirishamas and he then proceeds to give them directions to their village. Unfortunately, the directions he gives them turn out to be somewhat misleading and it's then that they realize that he has a hidden agenda which almost immediately imperils all of them. Now as far as this movie is concerned I have mixed feelings about it. I liked the scenery and the presence of Jennifer Lopez who was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Actress. On the other hand I didn't care so much for the second-rate Al Pacino impression of Scarface given by Jon Voight. Apparently, I am not the only one who was less-than-impressed as he was nominated for a Golden Razeberry Award as Worst Actor. Deservedly so. Be that as it may this wasn't necessarily a total waste of time and as a result I have rated it as just slightly below average.

HomeinIndiana Secret, because who would otherwise admit to liking this guilty pleasure? It is closest to Creature from the Black Lagoon in its structure: a trip down the Amazon of an ill-assorted group, a search for an elusive creature, or in this case, at first at least, the People of the Mist; some red shirt people; and Jon Voight playing the Nestor Paiva sort of role of the guy who's been on the river too long--and a would-be priest, no less. The virtues of the film include, most importantly, Voight's funny and outrageous performance (do Paraguayans sound like that?!). The beautiful Jennifer Lopez is eye candy. There is also the stuffy English narrator of the documentary they are making and Owen Wilson in his usual feckless character mode. And of course there is the titular character and star of the show. Altogether it's fun and moves along briskly.
