Captivating movie !
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
My all time favorite shark movie. The beginning starts off a little slow but is necessary for the story line and as the movie continues it only gets better.
To say that this movie is a 5.8 is gross negligence and downright hard-nosed.C'mon people. It's a movie about smart sharks and smart humans, which I know doesn't say much, but it's an action flick and it does deliver in that respect.From start to finish, lots of funny one-liners and lots of blood and gore from both creatures, man and beast.Sit back, grab some Paul Newman's microwaveable pop-corn and have yourselves a good time.
He really does. To be completely honest, LL Cool J is the only redeeming quality the movie has. "Preacher," LL Cool J's character has two traits: he delivers sassy one-liners and believes in Jesus. It may be telling of the overall quality of the movie, but LL Cool J's character was better developed and more interesting than anything else that happens. The movie wants to be Jurassic Shark very badly, but failed miserably at delivering a comparable experience to Spielberg's classic. LL Cool J survives to the end, which was very important to me.tl;dr: Movie sucks, LL Cool J blows up two sharks, and I wish I was drunk when I watched it.
First of all, why would you test a way to wipe out brain disease on SHARKS?? Secondly, what really gets me is that it's never explained how the sharks swam backward when Carter pulled his weapon out. When it's thrown out there, "That's impossible; sharks cannot swim backward!" all that comes of it is Jim's overriding encouragement to try to stay focused. At that I thought, haha "Ok..." I understand that it's explained that the tests run on them made them smarter, but intelligence doesn't have to do with inability to swim backward.
