Description of Snakes on a Plane [Blu-ray]:
Snakes on a Plane knows exactly what kind of movie it is, knows exactly what moviegoers expect from a title like Snakes on a Plane, and delivers the exact pleasures of a movie in which poisonous snakes are unleashed on a plane to kill an eyewitness to murder. Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction, The Long Kiss Goodnight) knows exactly what he's doing in this movie and knows exactly when to pull out the superbad Samuel L. Jackson stare and deliver the infuriated Samuel L. Jackson bellow. The rest of the cast--including Julianna Margulies (ER), Rachel Blanchard (the TV series Clueless), Kenan Thompson (Fat Albert), David Koechner (Anchorman), Bobby Canavale (The Station Agent), and Sunny Mabrey (One Last Thing...)--play their parts with admirably straight faces and deadpan humor. Director David R. Ellis (Final Destination 2, Cellular) gives the movie the much-needed headlong momentum you would expect from a former stunt coordinator. In summation: A perfect piece of self-aware but not self-conscious high camp entertainment, blending comedy and thrills in perfect proportion. --Bret Fetzer
Snakes on a Plane [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Unfair To Snakes! 
2009-10-16 - Unfair To Snakes, actors, audience and filmdom. An intentionally bad film that is still bad; but fun. Like a Twinkie. Snakes don't act like this and a scientist tells us. Films aren't made like this; except without viewer support; but you have to look that up. Internet phenomenon film freak! FutureFanFilm is a stand alone. Intentionally bad but satisfying, well done and stupid. Tops in sound and picture is up there, way up there...
What was Samuel L. Jackson thinking??? 
2009-06-26 - This is without a doubt the worst movie I've seen in years. I can't believe SLJ took this part! He must have really needed the money.
Fun, but not a good film. 
2009-06-23 - After seeing this movie, I was actually suprised. The movie did a good job setting up the characters and Samuel L. Jackson did a decent job as the lead role. The snakes were a little dissapointing and it was easy to tell they were CGI. Although predictible and somewhat lame, it was a fun movie that was a nice watch on a hot summer day.
I Don't Care What Anybody Says. . . 
2009-06-02 - this was a GREAT movie! I took my 18 year old nephew and we LOVED IT! Some of his friends sat near us and we all were screaming and laughing - yes laughing. If you take it for what it is, it's reminiscent of the "disaster movies" of the 1970's, with a silly plot, scenery chewing actors and loads of action. I thoroughly enjoyed it at the theatre and have since seen it two more times on TV. I made my boyfriend watch it and he even reluctantly admitted it wasn't that bad. Sam Jackson seems more annoyed by the snakes than anything and of course, saves the day. I would have loved to have been an extra in the movie. Especially the scene when everyone tries to go up the spiral staircase at the same time, and when the window opens! This is not a movie to be taken seriously people, it's just plain FUN. And when Sam Jackson delivered the famous line, the whole audience cheered, and clapped. Whenever I recommend it to people, they always say, "I don't like snakes". Well, neither do I and this isn't a movie about liking snakes, it's just a lot of fun.
3 stars out of 4 
2009-01-24 - The Bottom Line:
A much-hyped film which turned out to be much ado about nothing, Snakes on a Plane delivers exactly what it promises (stupid "so bad it's good" filmmaking and Airport-style camp) and so is not really worth recommending or not recommending: it's bad, but it's up to you to decide if it's bad in a good way or bad in a bad way.
