Great White

This was so dreadful it's worth watching to laugh at. Sure, it's got nice scenery. But that's it. The acting is absolutely woeful. In fact, you could play a drinking game with expressions. The cast give long meaningful looks at each other, the only trouble is the specific meaning of the look is utterly lost due to bad acting and worse writing. Take a drink every time they did this and you'd not last to the end of the film. The shark action is very minimal. Mostly the movie consists of people in a raft being utterly dumb. Seriously, they don't unpack the survival box until the second day in the boat. They don't conserve the water when it rains, despite having no bottled water left. Every single time the shark attacks they all stand up, the women scream and then they all fall overboard because they are standing. Even when they get to some rusting hulks in the water which are entirely stable, when they see the shark the women scream and fall over into the water. That was my favourite bit. I actually skipped the last five minutes of this. By that stage I didn't care if they lived or died. I was rooting for the shark.

I don't get all the terrible reviews for this movie. Especially because lots of people talk incredible bad of the special effects. It's not Oscar worthy, but is not terrible. It's quite good for such type of movie.

It lacks some quality on the script, but which shark movie doesn't?

There's some other little mistakes, but overall is watchable. If you are a fan of this genre, o recommend you check it out this one.

Ignore the below 4 scores. It's unfair for those who work in this project.

I'll start with positives, a few cool shark shots, not terrible CGI, and try's its best to work with an obviously low budget. For the negatives, a lousy storyline and very unrealistic shark activity (why was it roaring?!). The people are useless and paddle aimlessly and can't for the life of themselves just stay in the damned raft.

At least well 2/3's of the movie, its grumpy men and voulnerable women, not as old as me though, but quarelling just like theyve always done in castaway movies since the birth of cinematology.

Its a trip to the gbr area of australia, a paradise turns into hell due to a great white dork of a shark, sinking their main transportation vehicle, and and do the spagat move into the saafety of a rubber dongi,rolliing the perpendicular waltz rythm of the great pacific ocean. Some small attacks occurs, accompanied with a terribly loud sound and musical effects... and thats it. Will they survive?? I shall not reveal anything...

i am modestly speaking extremely disapointed by the poor ingenouity by the makers, and i wont mention all the breakwaters and sandbottom and shifting sky that the editor has had to work with, the obvioiously moored rubber dingy is pretty bad obscured, and my compulsive answer to everyone wanting to see a good shark film, just forget this one. The script is written in the sand at the nearby beach, and of course they are pregnant with a wow

sharknado concept is actually far better thinks the grumpy old man, even though i dont like them either. This is just to draw a good slump of pocketmoney outta your drawers.

Five people on a rescue mission in shark infested waters, what could go wrong? Listen, don't expect awesome CGI here, the plot is half baked and I couldn't give two squirts of squirrel pee less about the characters, but the film packs some nice thrills and overall, I was entertained. This isn't trying to be a great movie, but just one for the shark horror fans - and let's face it guys, we've had just 1 fantastic sharkfilm. Ever. Until the next one comes, if it ever does, movies like these are enough to still the hunger.
