Tensions within the group escalate as they are forced to confront not only the perilous environment and the creatures that inhabit it but also the treachery within their ranks.

Anaconda's Blu-ray features a nice SteelBook and lossless audio, but suffers from poor video; existing owners of the earlier Blu-ray should skip it.

Anaconda: A goofy, entertaining ride but cliché-ridden and light on substance; decent Blu-ray.
