BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

manjodude This TV movie is OK. It has a nice background music and the performances weren't bad either especially from Michelle Borth as Dr. Sara or Michael Pare as Captain Mike. And the special effects are passable too but what's with these mutants? They move so slow and thus affect the pace of the movie. If you're gonna eat the humans, just get to it and save our time! That's what annoyed me about the movie, the pace at times is quite a torture. Most of the time, the characters engage in lot of talk on how to escape from these creatures or the military who wants to destroy the island rather than the action which we expect more. I still like to watch such movies cause they're fantasy or escapist cinema and is a nice way to relax. More mutants or zombies for moi :)

Rob_Taylor Laughable would be a good term to describe this movie. But, since this movie deserves nothing good said of it, I'll use the term god-awful instead.Centering around the adventures of a bunch of eco-warriors investigating the nefarious doings of the military on a semi-tropical island, the lack of a budget rapidly becomes apparent. Michael Pare (a real actor! But only in the sense that Pinocchio was a real boy...) leads the bunch of fools through a series of monster chase-and-gobble-hapless-victim scenes. There is some vague attempt at pseudo-science to explain the presence of the giant reptiles, but it convinces the viewer about as well as the acting does.As if this doesn't insult the viewer enough, the movie also features what I'll call "Guns of never-ending ammunition". I never saw Mickey Parrot or his female side-kick change clips once during the entire film, yet I can positively report they cap off at least 40 rounds each in any scene where they are required to fire their weapon. Forty rounds may not seem like that many, but we are talking standard handguns here. I figure 15 round clip, tops. And remember, they never change clips, nor even appear to carry any extra ammo.It's dumb-assery like this which consigns movies to the eternal fires of celluloid hell, and rightly so. The third-rate CGI does little to help matters and the acting is best laughed at, else you'll start crying. Why SciFi Channel repeatedly churns out this mush is anyone's guess.My advice....give this one a wide berth...a very wide berth!

Michael_Elliott Komodo vs. Cobra (2005) * 1/2 (out of 4)Leave it to the stupid government to create a chemical that turns things large and then they decide to feed it to a komodo and a cobra. Leave it to a group of dumb, young protesters who go to the island to uncover the truth and sure enough they are attacked and eaten one by one. All of these leads to the final showdown between the two giant beasts. Director Wynorski got his start under Roger Corman and many people consider him the Corman of the past thirty-years because he deals with all sorts of "B" movies. SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE 2 and BIG BAD MAMA 2 are among my favorite cult movies but that certain charm the director can get out of a lower quality movie doesn't work here. The movie starts off mildly fun with its silly story, bad acting and outrageous special effects but in the end it goes on way too long to really work. At least Corman knew to keep these type of movies around the 70-minute mark but this one here clocks in at 94-minutes and by the end of the movie you can't help but feel bored. The human characters are all stereotypes that we'd expect from this type of film and the performances are what we'd expect as well. Michael Pare and Michelle Borth are mildly entertaining but the rest are pretty forgettable. The special effects, CGI of course, are extremely bad but they awkward enough to be entertaining in a so bad they're good way. The final battle isn't too bad but the thirty-minutes leading up to it are incredibly slow and boring. The dumbest thing in the film is that Pare has a .38 handgun, which never runs out of rounds. He constantly shoots off forty or fifty rounds and never has to reload somehow. Fans of this genre might want to check this out but others should stay far away.

smcke probably the worst creature feature ever,boa vs python was a million times better then this & that wasn't great either,bad acting,bad effects & guess what the DVD is one of those one with 3 hours of previews before the main menu.probably the least scary movie ever,no blood or violence,people are stupid and keep using pistols when they have no affect on these animals, the only cool part was the radioactive leeches that was pretty cool,i name of the island is just a rip off of Jurassic park boring tiring & not worth even looking at but i suppose the characters stupidity is pretty funny so it would make a good comedy film but definitely not a thriller
