Product Description:
It is the dawn of the new millennium and the world's first international highest security prison designed to house some of the most dangerous criminals in history has been built deep in the Antarctic. Designated only as 'Facility Number 1' the prison is considered entirely escape proof and those incarcerated there thought they were all alone -- until now. What they are about to discover is that the icy tundra houses more than the deadly criminals -- a giant and deadly man-eating snake that has been frozen solid for centuries has been awakened by the human presence and understandably has a voracious appetite for human flesh. As the prehistoric slaughter begins and people die gruesomely amid blood curdling horror everyone left standing in the prison must band together to escape the paralyzing grip of the deadly creature.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not that bad (a LOT better than Python)
I don't know why many people did not like this film. Its true, the snake gets very little screen time and is kept in the shadows most of the time, but the plot and the sequence of the movie were very good in my opinion. At least the snake in this movie doesn't change in size like the one in python. I'm also aware that the film doesn't deserve 4 stars. In my opinion it deserves 3 but I do not think that the overall average rating of 2.5 stars is fair. The only of the many flaws that bugged me was the change of size of the snake's blade in the tail. It ranged from being as big as half a person to being as small as a kitchen knife. But for people who have seen this type of movies many times it should not be much of a problem to see this. Recommend this product for people who do not get bugged by some minor details.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not too terrible, if you like low-budget sci-fi
This is about a giant snake that terrorizes the staff and prisoners (all 4 of them) at the world's most high-security prison, located in Antarctica. If you're a fan of low budget movies where "suspension of disbelief" is pretty much synonymous with "suspension of all thought processes", you may get a kick out of this. The acting isn't especially bad, the characters are basically likable, and the snake is bargain basement CGI. The sets and overall atmosphere are really the best part of the movie. The action moves along at a more or less acceptable pace, and the climax is so laughably stupid that you'll probably be telling people at work about it the next day.

Overall, not an especially good B-movie, but considering some of the utter garbage that's out there in the direct-to-video market these days, you could do much, much worse.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - some good action but like no snake
this movie was ok, defineitly better than boa vs. python and pythons 2, but still not to good. a prison in antatica is just being made and the engineers dig a hole to deep and wake the snake. it comes out and starts eatin people. then a group of soldiers come in along with cain and his wife, 2 scientists who for some reason are brought along. then the soldiers are running after it to try and kill it and then the snake kills all of them. so now its cain his wife and the warden and the prisoners tryin to get out of their. this movie had some good shooting scenes and action but u barely saw the snake and when u did u say lik parts of him or his head for lik 2 seconds. but the snake is pretty kool hough, its similar to the one in python but its a different color. this movie isnt rely worth watching but its not bad if u lik creature movies, but if not, its not rely worth it.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Fair
Boa is a smooth moving scifi flick. It has good qualities like Dean Cain being in it and the CG is handled smoothly. But good actors and well-motioned CG isn't enough to earn this one a 4 or 5 because even though the CG is handled well, you can still tell it is computer generated, and some of the prisoner characters are just ridiculous. Overall this is a movie you might want to check out, but rent it before you buy it.
