In Hawaii, volcanologist Brad Johnson (as Scott Kinney) and young assistant Josh Kelly (as Ryan Houston) arrive to investigate a possible volcano eruption. Meanwhile, a prehistoric-looking alligator appears to be running amok, eating people. The titular "Supergator" attracts veteran alligator geneticist Kelly McGillis (as Kimberly "Kim" Taft). Acting (or not) as backup are reporter Bianca Lawson (as Carla Masters) and resident assistant Mary Alexander Stiefvater (as Alexandra Stevens)...These "Syfy Channel" and video premiering monster movies are generally mediocre, but a few are above average and even more can be fun to watch. Not this time. "Supergator" is sloppy and substandard, even for its genre. It's possible the already low budget was cut during production as several of the early to mid-film special effects are almost non-existent; they consist of extreme, indistinguishable close-ups. In a pink bikini, Holly Weber is most arousing. We see more of the alligator, later.** Supergator (7/14/07) Brian Clyde ~ Brad Johnson, Bianca Lawson, Kelly McGillis, Holly Weber

Girls in tiny bikinis and tight tank tops and cutoffs are what keeps SUPERGATOR halfway interesting. The gator, a mutant created from the DNA of a prehistoric creature, isn't half bad looking, either. The problem is, you have a bunch of actors (some of them clearly extras) running around, trying to escape a CGI creation that clearly is not there. Closeups of its (fiber glass) jaws chomping on cast members, with a lot of fake-looking blood flowing, doesn't really help. Anyhow, an aging Brad Johnson, who has appeared in far worse than this, plays a geologist checking out a volcano with the help of several folks, including a former student who is not much on acting but easy on the eyes. She spends a lot of time huddled in Johnson's massive arms. Meanwhile, a woman scientist and a great white hunter are out searching for the gator, which has escaped her lab. The two groups collide, and the gator has plenty to chow down on before heading for town. In the sames stretch of woods are two bikini-clad babes being photographed for a magazine, three young males who are busy getting blitzed and a pair of barely-clad female hikers who are frequently filmed from behind. I kept expecting one or more of the gals to take her top off or have sex or something, but nothing like this happens. On the other hand, the two bikini-clad babes do a lot of jumping up and down and running. At one point, one of them hides from the gator under a fallen tree and poses as if she were still being shot for a magazine cover. Believe me, I am not complaining. The film falls apart once the gator hits town, arriving right in the middle of a celebration that Johnson has tried to convince town officials to call off (sound familiar?) The body count is awesome but not very well done. See it for the babes and the nasty-looking gator.

I've seen a lot of B-movies and many of them sucked but this one is one of the few of them I have to consider OK but certainly NOT the best monster movie I've ever seen.It starts out in Hawaii. A group of geologists are studying an active volcano while a scientist and her companion search for an alligator experiment gone wrong and somehow escaped from a research lab. After about 20 or so deaths, the monster is killed of course but before then, so many visible flaws are seen throughout the film. Here are a few of them.To start, the monster is clearly CGI and it makes many sounds from other movies, including the velociraptor shriek and Spinosaurus roar from Jurassic Park; nothing new.The monster seems more intent on simply killing every few minutes instead of eating like a normal Alligator that can go on without food for months but since it's not exactly an alligator, I can't quite confirm the monsters metabolism or compare this movie to reality.The victims themselves sometimes die slowly, all the while screaming as the monster chews on them but the shots are too close up to see anything in particular so they aren't really enjoyable.The guns that are used on the monster have little to no effect on it and seem to bounce off its scales as if they were metal but in reality, I doubt that even a prehistoric alligator can withstand bullets. However the guns don't seem to run out of ammo and one in particular, a 12 gauge shotgun is fired upon the monster from an impossible range.A disappointing fact is that almost all of the characters die; even ones that I expected to survive but eventually got killed.All in all, it's an OK movie but for those of you who prefer a realistic horror film instead of a cheap, CGI B-movie with mediocre acting and effects, I suggest you avoid this one.

Sci-fi keeps getting worse with these so-called original movies. PU did this one ever stinks. They must use the worse CGI, as their monsters are looking worse movie after movie. They take gator and mix his DNA with a Dinosaur. Did they mix in a mass murder as well? The so-called Supergator is not eating the people in the movie. He just killing them and moving right on to next victim. Don't insult our intelligence in these movies. Gators are not on the move right after a meal and since gators are from the dingo age. I'd say whatever dinosaur they mixed in would be relaxed right after killing and eating as well. Not Supergator. He kills one victim and two seconds later he's on top of another and another. The plot was terrible using an active volcano and people checking that out and getting killed along the way. The volcano blows at the end. Made no sense and if you missed this piece of crap. I recommend missing it the next time.
