"It's like being in the eye of a hurricane...what happened?"
"Natural phenomenon....or....something from that ship?"
Yes, this movie have a lot of flaws... all of them are mentioned already by other reviewers here and i will not comment it again. And when i saw the movie again as an adult, it lost a lot of it's power that it had on me, when i saw it as a child in the theater long years ago...
But there was one thing, that lost nothing of it's power... it was not the black hole, it was not the robot Maximillian... it was this incredible ship... the "Cygnus"!
I never saw a more beautiful, eerie, menacing, gigantic, breathtaking and fascinating spaceship than the "Cygnus". It hypnotized me as a child, and it do it until today...
When the little "Palomino" discover the "Cygnus" and get closer to it, flying slowly around it, reached out with it's pale blue searchlight that slither over the massive steel-structures of this monstrous ship... then it seemed, the "Cygnus" is not longer a spaceship anymore, but a sleeping, hungry giant python, and this little tin can, the "Palomino", is only a little curious rabbit, that did not really know in what danger it is.
It was very good that the movie-makers spend a little bit more of running time for this scene. And then there was John Barry's fantastic score... slowly, menacing slithering along like a python too, that doubles the intense of this opening-scene... and when the searchlight of the "Palomino" reached out to discover one of the "sensory-domes"... and you see the light shining through this dull brownish-yellowish glass-dome, only for 1 or 2 seconds... this was one of the "rigid eyes of this giant serpent"... Dead? Perhaps... But here you can see that the designers of the "Cygnus" did really made a fantastic job: The second "sensory-dome" is installed on the underside of the ship... perfect arranged for really 3-dimensional movements in space.
You never see the complete ship in a bright light in the beginning, only the dark shadow of this monster before countless stars and some details in the pale searchlight of the "Palomino": structures of glass, steel, antennas, towers, pipes, cables... but suddenly the "python awakes"... and all the lights on the "Cygnus" was switched on and for the first time ever you see the whole translucent reticular steel lattice structure of this giant ship in all of it's eerie beauty...
I remember the surprised, gasping "Bohaaa!!" by the audience in the theater as i saw the movie long time ago... and then silence again... all of them -and me too- stared totally hypnotized on this bizarre ship... "Is there yet light enough to see?" asked Kaa in Rudyard Kiplings "The Jungle Book" the Bandar-Log... and it seemed, this ship asked the audience the same question again...!
The interior of the "Cygnus" continuing the impressions that are given by the outer style: Giant endless corridors, bridges, monstrous rooms and halls, almost empty or filled with bizarre machines... all in this red/rusty color and mostly illuminated only with a pale, yellowish light. It looks more like a cathedral than a space-ship... there was almost nothing similar compared to all the other movie-spaceships before and after. The "Cygnus" had it's own somber, unforgettable design, that had later influenced the design of the "Event Horizon" too.
Yes, in spite of all the flaws in the movie, it deserved at least 6 stars... the "Cygnus" as a "stand alone" i would give 10 stars! It is my all-time SF-spaceship favorite!

Nothing, or better, almost nothing in this movie based on the real Anaconda (except the very good design of the animatronic model)... so come on, guys, you know it, this is a "Movieconda" that has nothing in common with the real thing. I can't believe, that some guys will take this movie for real. It was all illogical and exaggerated here. It was a "monster-movie", and this is exactly what it is supposed to be...
When i was a school kid, 14 or 15 years old, we had a visit of a snake-specialist in our school and so the opportunity to touch the "real thing" and "wear" this beautiful animal over our shoulders for a photo... Okay, this one was a young specimen of a green Anaconda, only approx. 2 meters long... but no one of us was bitten, constricted or swallowed ;-) All of us (except the most girls, but all boys ;-) liked this wonderful snake!
But in spite of this experience i love this B-picture! It remembers me to the "good old times", when i saw the old Jack Arnold flicks, like "Them!" or "Tarantula". I loved them as a child and i love them until today, because they are totally unrealistic and exaggerated! I loved this monsters and i love it until today! It's like the gangster-movies like "Last Man Standing", "Miller's Crossing" or "Road to Perdition", where they shoot with Tommy-Guns (with a 4-foot long muzzle-blast of fire) for minutes (in the reality a 50-round rum is empty in 3-4 seconds), perforating 3-foot thick brick walls to dust, or shot straight through a car engine-block... this have nothing in common with the real Tommy-Gun too, but this is a "Movie-Tommy"... and exactly this is the reason, why i love this movies too... even if (or because) i own a real Tommy Gun and know the truth!
And someone other mentioned it here before in his review: The cheap, old 1950s monster-movies are declared as great classics of it's genre today. On the new DVD-editions of such 1950s monster-movies we found specials and making-of of this movies, and in interviews almost all of the movie historians admit, that they loved this movies as a child and loved it until today. The same with "Anaconda"... today it is declared as crap, totally crap... but someone will remember it in 20 or 30 years from now who saw it as ca child, and i am sure, it will be declared as a "monstermovie-classic" of the late 1990s then.
Enjoy the movie, you may make your comments in the style of MST3K, but have fun...fun...fun! I give it 7 of 10 stars. For me it was a modern made journey back to my childhood and i add my lovely new "snake girlfriend" from this movie right beside Godzilla, Tarantula, King Kong, The Beast from 20,000 fathoms etc. to my childish "monster-movie-heart" that will never grew up ;-)

When i first read the story and saw this film as a child, something happened, that was surely not intended to be happen; neither by Kipling nor by the producers of this film... Of course, the direction, how the viewer shall see this movie and for who he shall cheer up is clearly given... but damn it... i was dragged to "the dark side of the force"... i felt strong sympathy and pity for Nag and Nagaina! But why? They was supposed clearly enough to be the bad guys of the story... what forced me to cheer up for the bad guys??
Today i guess, the reason are the characters of Nag and Nagaina. Both are deeper and more interesting than the character of the hero. Both are only want to defend their home, and later, Nagaina want to revenge her husband... who would not try to do the same as Nagaina in such a desperate situation?? A similar situation was given, for example, in "Road to Perdition"... and here the audience is clearly on the side of the "bad guy" (remember, the hero was a killer!) who want to revenge his murdered wife! A final revenge, that may include the own death too... and at last Nagaina lost the final fight... but damn it, at least she had tried it! She did not run away, nobody was on her side, nobody helped her. She lost her husband, her eggs/babies... she was alone! On the other side, Rikki Tikki had a lot of friends, like Darzee, that helped him in this fight. This did not mean, that i hate Rikki Tikki, he did his job, and he did it good! But you can tell me, i am on the "wrong side", i know, that i am standing on the "wrong side", but i can't help... i always see the story through the (snake)eyes of the "wrong side"!
This little movie was really well made, it follows almost literally the book (this story is a part of "The Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling). The narration of Orson Welles (he made the famous radio broadcasting of H.G. Wells "The War of the Worlds" too) was very good. The story seems to be a bit too dark for younger children in some parts, but compared with a lot of crap that was made today, there was a real story behind it, and the makers did not shy away to show the darker parts too. I saw it again a few days ago on TV after many years... and yes, i am still standing on the other ssssside...! ;-)
