Snakes on a Plane (DVD) Reviews

Released in 2006, Snakes on a Plane is better known for the hype around its wonderfully silly 70s retro concept (kind of a mix of blaxploitation cinema and old-school celebrity disaster movies) than for the actual film itself. The film stars Samuel L Jackson as a two-dimensional 'Shaft'-like character who finds himself trapped on a passenger plane ...  Read the complete review

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room Snakes on a Plane is proof of the power of the Internet. After the first trailer was released, Internet reactions were so high that the company decided to go back and film more ridiculousness, as well as add more CGI snakes to the mix. It became something of a pop culture ...  Read the complete review

David R. Ellis' Snakes On A Plane is a high-concept film that deliberately attempts to parody the guilty-pleasure, cheese-fest cult classics that many of us love. In other words, the movie-makers have deliberately created a horrible movie. (Yes, it's true, Hollywood really has run out of ideas.) The title sums up the plot, with Samuel ...  Read the complete review

Snakes on a plane really doesn't need much of a description. The title gives away exactly what this film is about; there are snakes on a plane. Agent Flynn (Samuel L. Jackson) is given the task of transporting a key witness from Hawaii to Los Angeles. However the mob boss he is testifying against is intent on making sure he doesn't get to Los ...  Read the complete review

The title of this film did not fill me with much confidence and to be honest it was a load of senseless drivel and it is a shame that a good actor like Samuel L Jackson leant his name to the film as it was pretty dire. The plot is rather senseless in my opinion, Jackson plays an FBI Agent called Flynn who is on a plane bound for Los ...  Read the complete review

First of all Snakes On A Plane is one of my favourite films purely and simply because you know exactly what you are getting just from the title. This film is never going to win an oscar but it is fun, action packed and doesn't take itself too seriously which is the best ingredient for an action film. The films main stars are Samuel L. ...  Read the complete review

There are two types of people when it comes to this film. The ones who know that it's an internet hyped, Samuel L Jackson fuelled work of ludicrous genius. And the ones who have to ask what it's about, despite the fact that to have a more self-explanatory title would involve showing someone the script and using a big fat marker to highlight the ...  Read the complete review

The name says it all, (and no the name is not a clever metaphor it is simply the only title that could be given to the plot deficient film). 'Snakes on a Plane' has to be one of the worst films that I have ever watched. Although the idea of how the snakes would be on the plane is somewhat justified, as a viewer I am still left with questions ...  Read the complete review

Before Snakes on a Plane was released in 2006, there was an unprecedented internet buzz. Filmgoers all over the world were excited - snakes, a plane and Samuel L. Jackson, what more could you possibly want from a film? The producers even listened to internet feedback and took this into account in the making of the film. However, on release the ...  Read the complete review

The witness will attend the trial of a notorious Hawaiian mobster, but this criminal will stop at nothing to prevent the witness from getting to the ...  Read the complete review

Snakes on a Plane. That says it all really. There are some snakes and they are indeed on a plane. The title alone caused a lot of buzz about the film and apparently Samuel L Jackson said he'd do it only if they kept that name (which was, I think, it's working title). He knew it wasn't a serious horror, it's one of those films that is so bad, so ...  Read the complete review

When this film first came out I went to the cinema to see it and it wasn't really what I'd expected but with that said, I did enjoy it enough to go and buy it for £2 from eBay a few months later. Plot ========== For the most part the title kind of gives the game away. A lot of snakes trapped on a plane with a lot of scared ...  Read the complete review

Clearly, a man of great genius thought up the title right? Well, although that was sarcastic, it could be true. I mean, if they'd called it dark flight or plane death it would hardly have arroused suspicion. So calling it by exactly what it was made it stick in people's mind. I got exactly what i was expecting with this movie, with cheap ...  Read the complete review

Snakes On A Plane is the brilliant horror/ thriller film from director David R. Ellis whose worked on moderately successful films Final Destination 2 & Cellular. Snakes On A Plane stars one of my favourite actors Samuel L. Jackson. Jackson is one of the highest grossing actors at the box office ever with monster hits like Pulp Fiction, Die ...  Read the complete review

This film came on television some time ago, and since I had heard it was a good film, I decided to give it a go. I do remember reading an article about the film before it was actually released, and had, admittedly intended to see it at the cinema. However, I did not have the chance, but I did not mind only getting to see it on television in the ...  Read the complete review

First of all I am just going to give you a breakdown of the storyline, in brief of course! So there is this bloke called Sean Jones who after witnessing the murder of a prosecuter by gangster Eddie Kim is being escorted by FBI agent, Neville Flynn (played by our most famous member of the cast Samuel L Jackson), to LA to ...  Read the complete review

I watched this film for the second time when it was shown on Channel 4 a couple of Saturday's ago. When I watched it originally I thought it was just a good piece of silly disaster movie style entertainment. After watching it again I haven't changed my opinion. It maintains all those cliched parts I expect in a good disaster ...  Read the complete review

I had heard of this film when it came out at the cinema and it looked awful. Considering Samuel L Jackson is - in my opinion - Hollywood Royalty. It looked laughable. Now picture the scene. I am at home, snuggled all toasty on the couch. I see the movie is just about to start. I'm not doing anything else except thinking of new reviews ...  Read the complete review
