Sand Serpents. No one died in this Syfy Original Movie until the 6 minute mark. Impressive.
A small combat unit overseas that ends up dealing with giant underground worms or snakes.
You're probably thinking what I'm thinking. Dune meets Tremors. Sure, because it's basically just that.
The difference is that the writing is much better than the usual Saturday Night Original fare on Syfy and if you have nothing better to do, it passed the time rather well.
There are some obvious holes in the skit as they skipped some scenes where special effects could have been used, but we know what happened. Who really needs to see a giant snake blow up anyway? My guess, they were saving money.
When the worms feed on Taliban, they kind of reminded me of giant Slinky's with teeth.
Overall, 1-10, I'd say a 5, maybe a 6 if you were drinking.
The writing was better than most of their Saturday Night Original movies, the effects weren't bad but there were holes in some of the cinematography. Who ever edited the final product may have been the one that created some of the disjointed scenes.
The ending for me got lame as I feel there was a much smarter resolution at hand aside from the one that took place. Then again, if he was stupid enough to have taken his course of action aside, then I guess this scene, that was reminiscent of Reign Of Fire, is fine.
You'll know what I mean when / if you see it.
