Awesome! (I mean it...I'm looking forward to SOaP) 😄
Here is exactly why the movie is going to be a commercial and cult phenomenon: Snakes...on a plane. The greatness of the movie is the fact that the plot is so obvious. In fact, Samuel L. Jackson signed on to the movie because of the title. According to him, he didn't even read it. And he threatened to leave the project when they wanted to change the title to Pacific Air 121 (reportedly to 'class up' the film a little). Who cares if the plot is given away? Does anyone think any less of the Old Man and the Sea because the key plot points is given away?
And in response to the person who said Samuel L. Jackson isn't a great actor, I say nay! Sam Jackson is perhaps one of the most legendary actors of this generation. There are few actors that can send a film's popularity rocketing skyward like Samuel L.
In short, the title is key. Sure it's obvious what the movie's about, but to quote Mr. Jackson: "That's the motherf**kin POINT!" Without the title, the movie would fail, both commercially and critically. Without the title, the movie would be a piece of sh!t. In fact, it probably still be a piece of sh!t, but it will be a piece of sh!t that a lot of people will love. And that's the real point of Hollywood: to entertain us.

This movie truly looks horrible... Why anyone would see it is beyond me. Take a look yourself: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417148/
It does look horrible, I can't believe Jackson agreed to doing that shit.
It doesn't get much cooler than this... Snakes... on a Plane... with Sam Jackson!

It's like, the dumbing-down of America is because of the making of films like Snakes On A Plane? Come on. Moviemaking is entertainment. It's not math. Every movie that you make doesn't have to change the social fabric of the world or America or whatever. Some people want to go to the movies so they don't have to think about what's going on around them, or how much gas costs when they have to drive to the movie theater. They just do it."

I just came back from seeing the movie. It delievered on EVERYTHING it promised, and more. It had a solid plot, great action, genuinely scary moments, and it was all-around a great movie. Add the ****in' snakes, and it was ****in' AMAZING!!!
