Mega Python vs. Gatoroid (2011 TV Movie)
2/10
Oh no they didn't...
5 February 2011
"There's a crisis in the Florida Everglades as giant pythons are threatening the alligator population." is written in the synopsis. Well it wasn't the only crisis in the movie. Oh my god.

Alright, well where to begin? Actually, you knew from the very beginning that this was going to be one of 'those' movies. And it was. Anything with the word "mega" in it and something that comes from SyFy is 90% likely to be epic in a bad way.

The storyline in "Mega Python vs. Gatoroid", although very straight forward and easy to follow, was just so far out there, that you don't buy into it for one second. And the story was plagued with some many mistakes and continuity errors, that it was actually making me laugh.

Being a typical SyFy movie, "Mega Python vs. Gatoroid" is suffering from horrible CGI effects. But in a weird, perverted way, you just want to stick with the movie to see what happens next and to see the next eyesore effect.

The dialogue throughout the movie was halting, forced and often absurd to listen to. I am pretty sure that during a crisis situation like that in the movie, no one would actually talk like that or say those things.

I am sure many noticed the extreme amount of screen-time that Tiffany's cleavage was having. What was up with that?

As for the cast and acting, well it was as to be expected of a SyFy movie. Some actually put on decent enough performances, but there were a lot of really painful performances as well. I was wondering why Micky Dolenz agreed to a movie like this.

Something made me go "what?" It was when the snakes and gators suddenly started working together in unison at the fund raising party attack scene. Why? Someone please tell me why? And how did the snakes reach monstrous sizes after being released into the wild? The entire movie is flawed with mistakes of this caliber. However, in a weird way it does make the movie come off in a comedic sense.

If you like monster movies, then there is a handful of much better options available out there. And as for SyFy movies go, this was even below what they usually pump out on the market. "Mega Python vs. Gatoroid" is good for some laughs at the story and the effects, but that is about the entertainment value of it. However, if you are like me in the habit of watching SyFy movies because you know they will be horrible, then you will definitely like "Mega Python vs. Gatoroid" because it delivers one stupid thing after another.
