This film must get nominations for Worst Editing and Worst Screenplay at the Razzies. Atrocious dialogue, segments of the movie that have obviously been moved around (e.g., "We have to get back to the boat!" after the boat has been destroyed), and laughably ridiculous errors of geography (rivers which manage to run in loops?! Escher would be proud)
I've heard that the budget was $25m+, but they obviously couldn't afford enough rain for a proper rainy season - there are even hacked-in scenes where daylight can be seen although the action should be happening in darkness.
Not to mention CGI snakes less convincing than the one which took out Sunnydale High in Buffy Season Four.
There is nothing redeeming about this film whatsoever. Not even the monkey, who does not interact with the human characters for the entire second half of the film yet is still shown screaming whenever anything scary happens.
Oh, and anacondas are native to SOUTH America. So are the natives who appear in the completely irrelevant sequence to start the movie. Take a look at your globe to see just how far that is from Borneo, Indonesia.
