Supercroc

Have you ever watch a movie so bad that you forgot it and watch it again?  I am guilty of that happening for this movie.  Supercroc is a super crock.

 

In the Los Padres National Forest, approximately 65 miles north of Los Angeles, a small team of soldiers is performing a maneuver.  Possibly a training exercise.  It doesn't seem to be too terribly important, because two of the team are not focused and keep talking of their wedding plans.  Meanwhile, back at command, they are monitoring the team's movements.  The command center is a small room that can barely hold six people and a couple of wide screens.

 

Of the first unit, only one soldier survives the brutal onslaught of an 80 foot digital crocodile.  The surviving female soldier that happens to be from Florida and is conveniently an expert on crocodiles.  A second unit is deployed to perform a rescue mission.  All of this seems rather normal military procedure.

 

Here is where the movie breaks down for me.  There is some research doctor lady in the command center.  She send a unit of soldiers out in a white van to collect a few of the eggs that the other two patrol units had discovered.  How she is allowed to manipulate the soldiers is amazing.  And the fact that they obey the orders from her is something else.

 

The Supercroc is mad and now is on the hunt for her lost eggs.  Supercroc has survived an air strike, being gassed, and being shot.  She is going to get to those eggs.  The eggs are moved to the AFB in Los Angeles.  The research doctor lady steals one of the eggs and hides it in a dumpster, then she is crushed by Supercroc.  The Supercroc finally gets taken out with a bomb to the belly.  And I was thankful that it finally got killed.  But now they have to worry about the dumpster egg.

 

I don't know if the people who wrote the film had much faith in the military or if they just didn't have the budget.  The people in charge panic a lot.  One solution was to nuke the croc.  I am glad it didn't come to that.  Seeing the digital crocodile attack the digital helicopter was fun, but the over-acting by several of the cast is just too much to take.

 

I give this movie 0 out of 5 crocodile eggs.
