Anaconda - Steelbook [Blu-ray]

The Audio (5.1 or 7.1) is Amazing! Loud and Punchy when it needs to be - Even the music pops! - Ads a lot to the Film! Jon Voight convincingly plays a really creepy Character with only Evil on his mind - Jennifer Lopez looks amazing in 4K - The IQ is Greatly improved (The Film Really Looks Good!!) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Enjoyed this movie

Anaconda slithers to first place as the years best 4k releases. It's pristine and beautiful in HDR and Dolby Vision...

Cornball old-school style "B" movie with a giant killer snake replacing aliens, vampires, werewolves or whatnot. Loved this unashamedly goofy flick since first catching it in theaters decades ago. Pretty solid performances all-around by a mostly young cast of then up & coming actors. Still, it's sturdy veteran thespian Jon Voight who shows these new kids just how it's really done with his amazingly hammy turn as whacked-out snake hunter, Paul Sarone. He rocks every aspect of his juicy part: from the outlandish Paraguayan accent to even the tiniest nuanced physical mannerisms. Voight can do more acting with a single look or body position change than the other noobs could with a page and a half of dialogue. He makes watching this monster mash totally worthwhile. God bless him! Wildly uneven visual effects are a real mixed bag here, ranging from great to laughably awful. (Backwards waterfall, anyone?) This is an older movie and at the time this was filmed computer generated effects were still in their infancy. That, and the low budget nature of the picture meant that the resultant full body shots of the anaconda look pretty crude & obvious, especially when compared to the infinitely more polished CGI we see today. Full-scale animatronic snake puppetry is similarly rough and not that much improved from the giant rubbery snake Arnold wrestled some 15 years prior in CONAN, THE BARBARIAN. Even so, they're effective enough to creep you out if you suspend your disbelief and just go with the flow. ANACONDA's best moment combines practical effects & CGI to give us the unforgettable "vomit & wink" scene. That lone sequence helped cement this film in the horror lexicon. That and a then fresh-faced booty babe Jennifer Lopez, plus the crazed, over-the-top performance by Voight combined to gave this little B-movie shocker a box office take surprisingly respectable enough to insure a stream of direct-to-video sequels (and endless imitators) that are still being cranked out 20+ years later. This Blu-ray release of ANACONDA looks & sounds pretty good. Focus is satisfyingly sharp, with strong blacks, mid-tones and little to no artifacting & pixelation. This is good news since much of the picture takes place at night, in shadowy jungles and in the silty waters of the Amazon itself. No extras though, which is a HUGE disappointment. After all these years it would have been great to have had a set of new interviews with the cast to capture their reflective thoughts looking back on the film. The F/X stuff, harsh as it was, would still be interesting to dig into. Maybe on some later edition from a company who really gets into such stuff (are you reading this Shout!Factory?). Even so, this film looks & sounds pretty dang good here, enough to highly recommend even this barebones release - at least until a better, more fan-flavored edition comes along. I give this scaly, snake-fest a solid 4 STARS.

I really enjoyed seeing the 4K resolution with great surround sound. My atmos system was able to pick up the amazing jungle sounds. I was impressed with the newest remastered version in Steelbook.

Yep hope I never see any giant anaconda In person. I would freak the hell out. Probably pee my pants too lol. It's a ok movie, but the snake does look fake. Either way I hate snakes.

If you're a fan of this movie you will enjoy the 4k upgrade. It looks significantly better than the Blu-ray and the sound is clear. I love the steelbook case finish!

One of my favorite movies of all time i love that i got an 4K steelbook love my copy of it it also comes with a digital copy

Super

“Anaconda” and with Jon Voight” menacing facial expression make for a whole lot of fun, I just couldn’t stop laughing when he was on screen, if this is not fun don’t know what is, and then there is Jennifer Lopez” to look at, that Snake is one bad dude, he can climb mountain to get you, no escaping that reptile, I love the part when he regurgitate Jon Voight that was good, they should absolutely do a Re-make of this but a little better, even though this snake look good sometimes it’s a bit cheesy, I think this is the first, I’ve seen the black guy lasted the whole movie, that’s scary in itself, I don’t know if the director (Luis Llosa) was going for intense sequences, but, it didn’t do it for me, I don’t know if I’m immune this stuff, maybe I’ve seen too much of them, this Disc has no menu, the movie starts automatically, if you press Top menu it will just say play movie, the snake gets two, J Lo gets two, three for J Voight, Widescreen 2.40:1 English 2.0 Dolby Digital. Runtime 129 Min. I Love Snakes...Sheeeeek,

O filme enfim chegou rápido e tudo certo Mas essa produtora mil creem não possue nem legendas só o filme e o áudio original

Disfruto mucho de este tipo de películas. Solo que no tiene ni subtitulos ni cambio de lenguaje. Pero muy bien

The whole movie itself is action fuelled!
