Good movie until...

Well, they'd mentioned that it would stuff the prey somewhere til later. I'm assuming most were stuffed under the water whereas she happened to be stuffed into its lair. She would've eventually been eaten or bled out and died, but I didn't find it impossible to believe.

What I found retarded was what the writers did to the dog. It stayed calm throughout the movie when others were being attacked and eaten. It never rushed into the water barking hysterically. Yet it abandons its owner and runs into the darkness barking at the giant croc and is promptly eaten. What was the point of that?

Because
1) the Croc was already tired from pulling so hard at the fishbate thing.
2) she knew how to hold her breath under water
3) she knew everything about crocodiles, so she might have had quite an advantage there and held herself in place when the croc moved her around.
4) she had a special vest and outfit, considering her job

I don't think it's even remotely weird she survived the attack.
You're just an idiot who can't think that well.

The croc had eaten how many people by now? Probably wasn't hungry anymore. Crocs are known for putting their food in caches for later. Mostly so that they decompose and become easier to digest. It doesn't give a damn if the food is still alive. It'll die eventually, and she would have if she hadn't been found.


Wasting is what humans do best. I'm just excelling in my field.

I agree, but not for the same reasons. Way I figured it, the Croc had just eaten the dad, so Rhada was like a catch to eat later. She was the expert, so she probably knew that if she survived the attack to just hold her breath and maybe it wouldnt eat her right away. People HAVE survived before.

I just thought that when the film became ONE man against the croc it lost some steam, but overall a very nice thriller!

And it didnt look 100% fake like the one in PRIMEVIL!

Considering that croc did a full-on "death roll" when it grabbed her, I kind of find it ridiculous she survived as well.

"This was a good movie until the hero found the heroine alive. Nobody else survived an attack, why did she?"

I'm always a bit confounded by this sort of response. People are so often surprised when the main character survives something that all the more marginal characters were not so lucky with. It isn't coincidence.

In the case of this particular film, people DO survive crocodile attacks quite often, and yes, even the dreaded death roll. This croc itself had just eaten, what, three grown men? (hell, that's not even counting whoever had sent up the flare earlier) It makes perfect sense to store a to-go meal in the fridge for the midnight munchies. And keep in mind, while this girl survived, it was only just barely, and she certainly didn't survive *well*. She'll likely be recovering and going through physical rehab for months.

"But Mr. Lennux, you brainless oaf, why should the main character just happen to be this survivor?" you ask me.

Look at it this way. Think of the camera as a phantom witness to the events of a story, a witness who already knows how it will turn out (in a way, it does). It knows who will play the most important roles throughout, so focuses on those individuals from the very beginning, in essence making them main characters.

Now that's a silly way to look at it, but it translates. How's this for a logical thought process for a film-maker?:

1) Get a good plot idea for a movie (likely by watching an older movie that already used said idea).
2) Get drunk and develop the character designs and progressions.
3) Pinpoint the character that suffers the most gruesome death at the earliest point in the plot.
4) Drop acid and decide to give that character top billing, the best lines, and most screen-time.

I think you'd be a little more bothered by that sort of plot. Maybe not, you could be a unique fellow.

~Atticus "likes the word *fellow*" Lennux

Really dumb. Crocs drown their victims, they don't store them alive.

But who cares? Jaws was extremely unbelievable as well. But the tension and horror was excellent, so we all bought it. Rogue is not at all on that level, but fun enough that I'll let these dumb *beep* pass. I have more fun that way, you know, by not being an anal nerd.

I really enjoyed the ending. I'll admit that I would have rather had the dog live than the girl, but having the main protagonist accidentally entire the Croc's den made for some pretty intense moments.
