Snakes on a plane was really better than I thought it would be. I never took classes in reptiles, other than an invertebrate zoo class, which was an overview
they are getting so good with the special effects, models, computer generated "whatevers" and puppets, it is very hard for me anymore to tell real from fake.
The story line was feasible & the acting, terror very scary for many people in audience. I will admit to flinching a few times. Some of the "sensitive" locations for the snakes to hit however stretched things a bit.
If anyone doesn't like snakes, this is really NOT THE MOVIE FOR THEM.
Friday night saw movie The Departed. very graphic violence. Language you wouldn't want to take kids or your grandma to.. but good movie & outstanding cast.
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/departed/The story line was feasible How so? I only have a very vague idea about someone trying to release snakes on an airplane to kill someone.
What several people have said is that in a real situation where snakes were loose on a plane, they could turn on the air conditioning to lower the temperature substantially. The low temperatures would make the snakes very stiff, and they wouldn't be able to move well enough to be effectively aggressive. I only know of a few species that would really scare me in that situation. I've wondered how the movie got around those issues.
