Starring: Jack Black, Paul Rudd, Steve Zahn, Thandiwe Newton
They may have barely made it out alive from the treacherous depths of the rainforest during their previous adventure, but the ruthless machinery of Hollywood is not quite done exploiting their trauma just yet. Anaconda 2 Primeval Wrath brings this hapless, surviving mid life crisis documentary film crew right back into the most dangerous zone imaginable.
After their incredibly chaotic, near death survival footage accidentally gets leaked and becomes a massive, unprecedented global blockbuster hit, a severely megalomaniacal and greedy studio executive forces them into making a highly anticipated big budget sequel. This time, they are legally contracted to shoot entirely on location on a completely uncharted, wildly dangerous prehistoric island that is heavily rumored by locals to house the ancient, terrifying mother of all massive serpents.
Jack Black and Paul Rudd return to the screen in top form, reluctantly trading their cheap amateur cameras for state of the art high tech cinematography gear, all while desperately maintaining their signature brand of panicking, self deprecating humor in the face of certain doom.
Thandiwe Newton and Steve Zahn bravely step up to the plate as the deeply reluctant, yet thoroughly battle hardened survival experts who must somehow keep the inexperienced crew alive against all impossible odds. Furthermore, the iconic Ice Cube officially joins the chaotic fray as a heavily armed, completely no nonsense jungle guide who harbors a very dark, deeply personal vendetta against these monstrous scaly beasts.
But the dense jungle environment and its inhabitants have drastically evolved into a completely new nightmare. This newly discovered breed of Anacondas are unimaginably colossal in size, highly aggressive by nature, and terrifyingly capable of hunting their terrified prey in highly coordinated, strategic packs.
Caught helplessly between a squad of heavily armed ruthless mercenaries, incredibly treacherous volcanic island terrain, and the ultimate prehistoric apex predators, the hapless film crew must rely entirely on their quick cinematic wits, hastily improvised weapons, and a massive amount of pure, unadulterated luck just to avoid becoming the main course of a horrifying jungle feast.
Packed from the very first frame to the last with laugh out loud meta comedy, genuinely terrifying creature feature action, and massive explosive thrills, Anaconda 2 Primeval Wrath conclusively proves that some Hollywood sequels are truly a monstrous beast of their own making.
In this incredibly dangerous and unforgiving jungle environment, breaking the weekend box office records is absolutely the least of their immediate worries. They quickly learn that the ultimate film critic is incredibly hungry, absolutely ruthless, and it always strikes from the shadows without a single moment of warning.
