646f9e108c A man, his business partner, and his wife are enlisted to transport an unknown object from a Russian military base, only to discover that the object is a giant, genetically-altered python. OK, here we go. I saw this movie on the Sci-Fi channel when I was like 6. The big difference between this one and the 1st one, is the attempt. The 1st one didn't really try to make itself very serious, making it a nice corny B-movie. The bad things about this one is that it tries, and Billy Zabka. Main idea: giant snake captured by U.S. Plane carrying that snake is shot down by Russians. When the Russians take the cargo that contains the snake, all heck breaks loose. So Billy Zabka and his gang go in and try to kill it. There isn't really anything funny about this movie. Mostly sad. The thing that upset me most was that Billy Zabka dies. THE ONLY RETURNING CHARACTER dies. Yeah, good way to attract your audience. He was the only character in the movie that had a little bit of luster. So they turn him into a bad guy. The snake CGI isn't the best, but it's manageable. The script has some holes in it, but that's not what killed this movie. Another funny thing about this movie is, the only well rounded characters in this movie get killed. If you can look past all that, though, the movie is OK. Forget King Kong. Forget Godzilla. Python 2 (or, as it is even more awesomely named in the UK 'SNAKES') is truly the defining monster movie of our times, perhaps any times.<br/><br/>So awesome is this tale of man and reptile, in fact, that the distributors see fit to charge no more than £1 for it in bargain basement DVD buckets. So epic is it, that the producers avoided putting any of their or their actors' or directors' names on the back of the DVD cover. That there are no special features at all should be of no importance.<br/><br/>Why, if you squint you eyes and smear your screen with Vaseline you can almost dare to say the CGI Snake looks real. The actors' performances are so virtuoso they barely move at all on screen. One woman was even included in the cast! The plot tells a weeping tale of tragedy and the folly of over-ambition, as the government (or, some guys with guns at least) try to recapture a big freaking' snake in a military base somewhere in Russia. Surely some social commentary on our times, friends.<br/><br/>This movie will change your life. I haven't even finished watching it yet and I am moved to review it on IMDb.
