Quotes

Kristin: Look, let's just wait it out. Sooner or later it's bound to get hungry.
Dr. Anton Rudolph: You must understand, it's still basically a snake. Even at its size, it can go without a month without feeding right outside that door.
John Cooper: There's not enough food in here to wait that long. And if it did decide to leave, where do you think it would go?
Kristin: Ruby. Oh, my God. The whole town is like an all-you-can-eat special.
John Cooper: And I sure don't want to wait around here to see what's gonna happen. So what do you say? How about it?
Theresa: Well...

just plain awful, a waste of two hours of your life
8 July 2007 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Out of all of the bad giant snake flicks, "Python" is definitely ranking on my list as THE worst of them all. It could very well be THE worst of the low-budget made-for-television sci-fi flicks of them all. And what's more, it's a low-budget mindless adventure that's trying to be a big popular classic action movie. As a result, it became one of the most boring and tasteless excuses for a film.

The snake is one problem of the film. Most films like this show the monster on a regular basis. Here, the snake is showed on a very limited basis and if the director was hoping that would make it more suspenseful and frightening, like the shark from "Jaws", well, it didn't work out very well. The snake was created using both a rubber tail and a full-body snake created through bad computer graphics. Heck, the illustration of the snake on the DVD cover is ten times better than the CGI from the action movie. It might have been better using an entire rubber snake. Then the snake's structural appearance wouldn't change in between each time the CGI was swapped for the rubber tail. There was something I noticed about the tail. The tail is suppose to be some razor-sharp object capable of slicing a person's head off (a dumb idea). In the CGI version, it has that kind of tail. But when the rubber tail is shown, it's knubbed and round, definitely not capable of cutting anything. The snake also sounds like a crazy, berserk bird, and I don't recall it ever hissing.

Like I said earlier, the snake isn't shown often. A lot of the story seems to focus on these bland, tasteless and just plain annoying characters that you either don't care about or just plain want to die. Seriously, we have the most pathetic cast ever. And there were plenty of sequences that were all but necessary, even for a flick such as this. Not only are the characters annoying, and many times disgusting, such as the first camping victims the snake eats, but they lack intelligence. Many times, they perform actions that a real person would not stop to do. If you were running from a killer snake and you pull out a mountain bike to escape on, would you bother to stop and look for a helmet? And if you try to hide in a structure, why would you leave the door open? And then take your time walking through the place? And besides, if this snake is so mighty and powerful, why would you transport it in a wooden crate? "Python" is a film that should never have come into being. I would much rather take "Anaconda" or "Boa" over this piece of trash. It is just an example to follow. If you are going to make a low-budget sci-fi flick, make sure the story focuses on your creature. Even if its a total fake creature and totally bland and uninteresting, well, it'll be a lot better than focusing seventy percent of the screen time on the even more bland and uninteresting cast. This is one of the worst films ever made.
