    Terrible CGI for 2021

    Terrible acting, casting, directing and script but the worst was the 1970"s cartoon quality special affects of a 200+ foot snake with all the actors claiming it was "50 to 60 feet". You could make a better jungle thriller with actual college students in a park with a rubber snake and filmed on iphones. Probably the only redeeming quality of this film is the great drone shots of bare wilderness but you can easily skip through this one in under 10 minutes without missing any plot or thrills.

    Nothing outstanding here...

    When I stumbled upon the 2021 movie "Megaboa" here in 2022, of course I had to sit down and watch it. I do find these gargantuan creature features to be fun to watch. Sure, most of them are really, really bad, but still, every now and again there is one that proves enjoyable.

    And when I saw The Asylum's name on the screen, I have to admit that I went from having zero expectations to the movie to thinking 'oh no'. But still, I carried on and opted to watch "Megaboa".

    Luckily then "Megaboa" is not the archetypical mockbuster that The Asylum is mostly known for, so on that account then it was a step in the right direction. But "Megaboa" wasn't exactly a top notch creature feature.

    The storyline told in "Megaboa", as written by Alex Heerman, was pretty generic and typical for a creature feature. So you are not in for anything grand here.

    Then there was the matter of the cast ensemble and the acting performances. Well, it is no secret that with a movie such as "Megaboa" then there is a snowball's chance in Hell of you being in for Shakespearian performances or anything even overly great. And on that note, then "Megaboa" delivered what was expected. It should be said that the movie has Eric Roberts listed as the main attraction, and boy is he cringeworthy to watch as he stumbles through what can only be guessed is supposed to be acting and delivering dialogue.

    Visually then "Megaboa" was actually adequate. I mean, the CGI animated snake looked fair enough. It wasn't spectacular CGI, but it worked out well enough for a movie such as this.

    If you enjoy monstrous creature movies, then "Megaboa" is not the best of options.

    My rating of "Megaboa" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.

    Good snake fun

    Strictly for those die-hards of a disposition to enjoy snake thrills (also some spider thrills). Bigger than Titanoboa, that's a Megaboa! Don't look for subtlety or nuance, just lots of schlock snake fun.

    Definitely not a National Geographic Documentary

    I have built up an imunity or say tolerance to low budget monster movies which paid off big time on this Asylum entry. You have to almost root for the CGI snakes because systematically removing bad actors seems like the right thing. The positive things are: Awesome music score by Mikel Shane Prather and Chris Cano, beautiful scenery and you can see the actors are trying their best with the script. The negative things: Everything else for 90 minutes. I did enjoy Eric Roberts looking on a laptop of drone footage (excellent WiFi in the jungle btw) and stating "that's the biggest snake I ever seen Benji, bigger than a Titanaboa that's the...Megaboa" before calmly sitting back down in his lawn chair as said snake eats his students.

    I was ready to overlook the terrible effects knowing that it's made by The Asylum but the tons of chit chats n lack of kills made it a torture to sit thru.

    I saw this cos my nephew wanted to watch something with a big snake.

    Big mistake. Revisiting Anaconda or any 50s creature films wud have been a better option.

    Generous with a 2 cos of Eric Roberts. Just for old times' sake.
