Snakes on a Plane

There are movies out there that don't get a fair shake because of the bad choices that are made at the time it's decided on how to promote the film. This movie was toted as the summer's biggest blockbuster, and with a star like Samuel L. Jackson everyone thought that the advertising was true for once. Unfortunately what we ended up with is a film that reminds the audience of the old horror/monster B-movies, and if you watch it with that in mind, you'll enjoy the story more. If you have an aversion to snakes, its kind of obvious that you should not watch this film, but if you can get by that then you might enjoy it. While a federal witness is being flown back to LA, the crime lord that he is to identify loads the plane up with poisonous snakes in order to kill the passenger and crash the airliner. Throughout the film there are times that you can tell that they were using CGI effects and others where the live snakes were, but it all works out for the stroy. Every kind of airline passenger that there could possibly be ends up on this plane, from the anxious passenger who doesn't want to be there to the young mother with her baby to the traveling pop star who wants things his way, their all here. This movie is an hour and forty-five minutes and it moves so fast, by the time the film is over you don't even realize how much time has gone by.
This film reminded me of the good old days of watching the Creature Double Feature and being scared of the different monsters in the movies, everything from werewolves to giant spiders to mythical creatures, there was no limit to what the imagination could come up with. Just like those old time movies the title of the film tells you exactly what the movie is about and you know what to expect. I enjoyed this movie more than I thought I would but I didn't enjoy it enough to honestly want to rewatch it, but to see it once and enjoy it for what it is.
