Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

rgk-bharani Wow, I remembered my school time memories again. Because of watching this Komodo Movie on my phone. Great Graphics, thunderous music tracks and finally. Especially the ending theme is awesome. I loved to watch this movie again and again with my family. Everyone have the feelings of horror. Thanks to the director of this movie, cameraman, background sounds editors, visual effects editors, and mainly the music director. when am studying in higher grade school, me and my elder brother and younger sister watching in the digital surround system theater in my hometown. We are sitting in the end of the seat and go back when the dragon comes. then we again sit in the front when dragon goes.

Dragoneyed363 I mean, with a name like Komodo and the way the movie case and posters look, whoever expects this to be good from the get go is crazy. Well, I had watched it over 5 years ago and had forgotten about it until now, and decided to watch it again, because I didn't remember a thing about it. I remembered it being laughable, but here again, I didn't remember anything about the actual movie, so I was not that excited about rewatching it, but I felt like I could get a good laugh at it in any case. Well, I didn't laugh one bit! In fact, I was very pleased with how this movie turned out! As it started off I was immediately entertained. The plot was as thin as paper and the characters became questionable at times, but overall this movie was very satisfying and not bad at all. The performances were surprisingly over average! I could watch an hour and a half of Kevin Zegers laying in the floor reading the newspaper or something like that anyway for he is a fantastic actor and is not bad to look at at all. The main girl did astonishingly well too; She made her lines and character believable, and though of course this movie isn't a masterpiece it turned out to be way more than I thought it would be.The special effects were surprisingly really good as well, I mean, for a B-Movie. This film obviously wasn't given a high budget and job well done with the special effects for such a small amount of money! Overall, I actually even think a 3.7 is too low of a rating! There are a lot worse films than Komodo, for this was not bad at all and is even worth a second watch! Great opening act, pleasing performances, nice special effects, but a plot that is so dull it's see through and around the end felt rushed and a little mediocre. Still, I enjoyed this film and recommend it if you can appreciate it for what it is.

Samiam3 The first time I saw Komodo was eight years ago, not long after it came out. I also saw Bats, Octopus, Crocodile, Python and about twenty others in the same three or four month period. I thought this was the worst. Having seen it again eight years later, my opinions have not greatly changed, but I think I know what the problem is. Quite frankly, Komodo is dull. All attempts to create an original story backfire, because of bad acting, no direction, and a lack of intelligent dialog. Komodo forgets that it is a mere monster flick, it shouldn't attempt to be anything more intelligent or dramatic when it is incapable. One never expects these films to be smart, but they should be entertaining at least. The komodos in this film may be lively and mobile but watching the film itself, is not much more captivating than watching real komodos in a zoo, where they do nothing but sleep and occasionally blink. But I've digressed; my point is, skip it.Set on the fictional Emerald Island, one night a moronic truck driver transporting a shipment of various animals dumps a piece of his cargo because it stinks; a crate of komodo eggs. Twenty years later, young Patrick Connally and his parents go on holiday to the island where they have a nice little house away from civilization. On the night of their arrival his family is killed. Patrick is taken to a hospital on the mainland, suffering from PTS. A pretty young psychiatrist comes and takes him back to the island where she hopes to find out what made the poor kid crack. She is about to find out. After a near fatal encounter with the dragons, Patrick runs away. With the help of a local biologist acting as a lizard hunter for the government the psychiatrist goes to find him.Michael Lantieri may be a one-time director, but he has an impressive career in visual effects, and won an Oscar with Stan Winston for Jurassic Park. The komodo effects here are surprisingly convincing, and the lizards are created with fair scientific accuracy. The komodo dragon (which now number only a few thousand) can grow to ten feet in length. They are among the smartest lizards, with keen eyesight and an even keener sense of smell. They have toxic saliva and they hunt in packs. I doubt however if they growl or snarl the way they do in the film.On these technical grounds, Komodo is superior to its b-movie contemporaries (including those I've named), but as a thriller it's dull as a doorknob. Unless you are a skilled filmmaker, there is a price to pay for choosing to shy away from the fun stereotypes of the genre. Komodo loses all potential to be a worthy watch for the monster fans.

Paul Andrews Komodo starts on the 'Emerald Ise North Carolina' where some guy (Nique Needles) chucks a bunch of Komodo eggs on the side of the road, for no apparent reason as you would. Jump forward '19 Summers Later' & teenage boy Patrick Connally (Kevin Zegers) & his parents (Bruce Hughes & Jane Conroy) arrive home, that night they are attacked & killed by giant Komodo's. Back on the main land & ever since the unfortunate incident Patrick has been suffering post traumatic stress, as you would I suppose. The authorities want to put him in a mental hospital but his psychiatrist Victoria (Jill Hennessy) believes taking him back tot he island to confront his fears & inner demons will cure him, I'm not sure why but there you go. Patrick's aunt Annie (Nina Landis) also goes along for the ride, just to have a disposable character for the Komodo's to kill more than anything else. Once there they are attacked by the vicious Komodo's & together with two hunters, Oates (Billy Burke) & Denby (Paul Gleeson), must fight the Komodo's & find a way off the island or become lizard food!This Australian American co-production was directed by Micael Lantieri & is an OK nature on the rampage type film but nothing to get excited about. The script by Hans Bauer & Craig Mitchell treads the same worn path that these types of films do, the isolated location, the monster threat, the hero, the one who gets separated from the group & the other's insist on finding them, the rich uncaring businessmen who are only bothered about money & various unlikely coincidences (the only two vehicles on the island just happen to crash into each other?) that leave our group of survivors in peril. Komodo moves along at a fair pace although thinking about it now not much really happened, only three people die during the bulk of the film & it has relatively low ambitions as a spectacle. I don't understand why these Komodo's are so big, nothing is ever mentioned & in fact Oates (who also happens to be a biologist, a complete co incidence of course) claims they are just an endangered species. I've never know lizards that big. Also why does the oil company want to secretly kill these lizards? It's claimed because they don't want bad publicity which is fine but if their that concerned about publicity why not capture them & relocate them somewhere safe? Surely that would bring massive amounts of free positive publicity, I mean an oil company caring for the environment right? The character's are paper thin & you can spot the ones who are going to die a mile off.Director Lantieri brings a degree of competence to the film but not much else. It has no real style, tension or excitement. Having said that the Komodo CGI effects are surprisingly very good, these don't look too far behind the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park (1993). The attack scenes aren't that great as the Komodo's walk so slowly, most people could probably out-walk them. Forget about any blood or gore, just a couple of Komodo bites.Technically Komodo is alright, with a budget of about $15,000,000 Australian Dollars it's a nice looking film & well made. The beautiful Australian locations are the films one real highlight. The acting was OK but nothing outstanding.Komodo is an OK time waster but it brings nothing new to the monster on the loose sub genre that Jurassic Park didn't over six years prior. Just about worth watching if your desperate or if there's nothing else on.
