Bad.  Awful.  Putrid. Laughable.  Groan-inducing! 

This was one of the biggest wastes of celluloid I have ever seen.  How many cliches can they stuff into one movie?  And the reality flaws were so gaping they would make WyreWizard's head explode!!!

First of all, the giant shark is immediately identified as Megaladon from the huge tooth fragment they pull out of a mutilated whale that washes up on the beach.  OK, postulating a Megaladon survival, that is possible, even plausible.  But what no one even comments on is the fact that this Megaladon is TEN TIMES bigger than any specimen in the fossil record!  His TEETH are 8 to 10 feet high!!!  Then, there's the scene where he JUMPS hundreds of feet out of the water to snag a passing jet liner . . . or when he bites a destroyer in half (except the ship in question as at the very least a heavy cruiser!).  And how many scenes can they show of the "scientists" pouring differently colored fluids into beakers and smiling with satisfaction at the result?

Bad plot, bad dialogue, bad CGI, and not a single character who isn't a walking cliche.

You will either hate this film . . . or else you will love it for being so awful.

Either way, check it out.

My 15 year old daughter's commment:
"That movie wasted two hours of my life!!"

Doesn't arrive on my shores till the third of August.

Fingers crossed that it's as bad as you say !

But... it stars an aging LORENZO LAMAS and DEBBIE GIBSON!  And it's from ASYLUM!  How bad could it possibly be?

The trailers leave me hopeful...but then, I enjoy White Castles.
It looks insane in agood way.

A friend of mine is supposed to be getting this from net flix  this week so I should have some thoughts by this weekend about this movie event of 2009............ or not.

Please tell me that the airliner was flying around with a big bite-shaped hole missing from the side of it  :teddyr:

An entire movie of cliches. Ouch.

Actually, I saw Michael Bay's Transformers, so I too have been through the displeasure of sitting through a movie that was written by pulling cliches out of a hat. That was the very epitome of "boring".

you mean jaws?  :teddyr:

No.  Each individual TOOTH is that big!!

WARNING! Clip includes Jake Gyllenhaal (I looked it up) exclaiming "Holy sh!t!".

Well, what would you say if Mega Shark (I looked it up) was about to eat your airplane?

That IS Jake Gyllenhaal - right?

AAAAHHH!!!! You made me see it AGAIN!!!!!!!!!   :buggedout:

BTW, What is up with the bendy wings on that airplane?? :question:

You're welcome!  :smile:

I wondered about those wings, too. I thought I had missed some news in the development of 'Condor Airlines' passenger jets.

LOL! that would make the shark a few thousand feet!

Okey...in the real world, the plane would have instantly shredded as it got hit by a mass that big. Just gone to pieces...
In the MOVIE world...physics can take a holiday, and let the cheese begin!

I'm tired of these muthaf**kin' sharks eatin' this muthaf**kin' plane!

Wow, man, you are back like vertebrae, are you?

Where you been hiding?

And to chime in on this movie, where did you confirm Jake Gyllenhaal had anything to do with this?  imdb.com got nothing on it, and they be conspiracy freaks.

Wow... I am speechless.

How does the octopus fare??

I actually was kidding about Gyllenhaal. That actor who spots the plane-eating shark just bears a striking resemblance to him, I thought.  :teddyr:

Okay.  You had me frightened there for a while.  Figured I'd have to track you down and trap you into watching "Donnie Darko" five times in a row.

I just put this on my netflix queue, according to them there will be a very long wait, must mean that Indiana watched the only copy in the world, so we must all wait our turn to enjoy or inflict this cinematic gem on ourselves.

If your queue is as long as mine, You'll forget you added it before it shows up.  I can't imagine this being THAT popular. Maybe somewhere in trailer park, a group of drunk rednecks are playing "Kick The DVD The Farthest".

I moved this to the top of my queue on Monday and it showed up on Thursday, this is, at least to me a very funny movie, mainly because most of the exterior scenes were shot at the Belmont Shores section of Long Beach. The film is just awful, but looking for places I recognize and have actually been to made the watching fun. I have to say that while the movie itself is painfully stupid, I enjoyed viewing it.

I loved this movie.  :twirl:   My daughter and I could not stop laughing.  Everything about it is so bad. I dont think I have ever seen two people with less chemistry than Gibson and Chao. The scenes of them flirting and then kissing were almost to much. 

I actually registered for this forum *just* to look for topics about this movie and try to get Andrew interested in it.  This is easily the best worst movie made after 2000 that I have ever seen.  My husband and I strongly suspected it of being a Sci-Fi Original in disguise.  It is well worth any amount of wait anyone has left, and it is going to be my Father's Day gift to my dad (and myself as I am going to watch him watch it).

Especially of note are the worst montages in the universe (they come off as real time) and numerous really hard jabs at military competence in general--these poor guys just tend to crash, lose control, go nuts or otherwise screw up at every turn (they are probably demoralized by Lorenzo's extremely non-regulation ponytail).

I will probably buy this to watch it over and over.  It's worst than Santa Claus Conquers The Martians, which was my previous favorite awful film.

OK-I've heard enuff, I MUST see this movie!  :thumbup:

Well, this movie is on my list of DVDs to purchase so that I can write a review.  It's currently at the normal inflated price that these films are at when first available, but after a few months they drop to about $10.

Man, think of all the ramen noodles you can buy with $10 bucks. I think you should consider that before purchasing.  I'm sure there will be less intestinal discomfort with the ramen noodles.

If there is any justice in the universe, there will be a sequel to this film. If fact, I see a trilogy!

That's the only part of the movie worth watching.  It's not very enjoyable.  The shark and the octopus are barely even in the movie.

I'm looking forward to this film sooooo much !!!!!!!!  :teddyr:

Well, it's offical...there be cheese here!
Diologue cries out for Cinematic titanic, CGI looks like a prototype Nintendo.
WAAAAAAY too little massive destruction by the big animals. Toho would do a better job, and they use suits actors!

I like cheese...cheese is good!
