Ice Sharks

Ice Sharks (2016)

** (out of 4)

The setting is an Arctic research center where a group of scientists are trying to determine why the ice is thinning so quickly. Unfortuantly for them it's not due to global warming and instead it's a new kind of shark that is able to break through the ice and attack.

ICE SHARKS is pretty much the type of "C" non-sense that you'd expect from a film that aired on SyFy. thankfully the film is well-made enough to where the viewer can stay entertained even though there's no question that the story is quite silly and there are countless logical issues including the fact that they're in the Arctic yet you can never see anyone's breathe. With that said, if you enjoy watching these movies then this one here will keep you entertained.

If you're familiar with the type of movies SyFy makes then you should already know that you don't go in expecting some sort of art. In reality you just hope for some mindless entertainment and on that level ICE SHARKS delivers. I thought the scenes of the sharks breaking through the ice were fun and for the most part the characters were entertaining enough to keep you interested in their fate. As I said, I thought the film was well-made for the most part and director Emile Edwin Smith at least keeps the action moving and there really aren't any slow spots in the picture.

The CGI is pretty laughable as you'd expect but it's still much better than what you normally see. ICE SHARKS certainly isn't a masterpiece but it succeeds at what it set out to do.

Its something to make fun about! It sparkes a lot of conversations because it is so far fetched

It's so bad they didn't even finish a lot of the cgi. There are youtube shorts with better graphics than this film and those have no budget and are created on home computers. Good for laugh if you riff it with friends. Beyond that don't put yourself through this.

A new twist in the Killer Shark movies. What can I say that already hasn't been said. It's top cheese material here. A rainy day afternoon movie fun for the whole family. Its full of average cgi, acting, story, pretty much everything. The research scientists chosen are some of the youngest I would ever imagine. 20 to 30 something year olds to control an arctic station to use and monitor highly sophisticated equipment. These kids sure know their stuff! Like I said it's a nothing to be said, 10 mins in you know what you're getting. I gave it a four just because the movie was completed from start to finish with an effort that was given with what little budget available. It's popcorn cheese at its finest. Take it for what it's worth.

The storyline had 0 potential as I predicted from start to finish and who survives

It wouldn't have been that bad if the storyline actually made more sense as most problems had simple obvious solutions. Yet the script was written so that all the characters literally shared only ONE brain cell between them.

Only gave more stars for the blonde guy and the black woman as their acting was spot on and not cringe at all.

The storyline and graphics get 0 stars

Recommend a watch I suppose
