Snakes On A Plane Review

Dorkafork (hat tip) managed to see a sneak preview of the upcoming epic film Snakes On A Plane:

Snakes on a Plane lives up to the promise of its title. That's really the only way to describe it, by using the title as an adjective. Very Snakes on a Plane. Granted, it's possible there may have been a way to make Snakes on a Plane more Snakes on a Plane, but you watch the Snakes on a Plane you have, not the Snakes on a Plane you wish you had. I allow that it is possible, but I think it would have been hard to make a more Snakes on a Plane Snakes on a Plane.

He gives the movie the highest rating of "Five Snakes on a Plane" and says that the main strengths of the movie are:

1) Snakes
2) A plane
3) On

The producers are expecting a high return for this film and have already planned sequels and prequels. Here is a poster for the prequel in pre-production now:



Snakes On A Plane is, of course, a remake of the classic 1920 silent film, Snakes on a Flying Machine (language warning):
