Shark Waters

I have to admit that I am sucker for shark movies, despite the fact that 95% of all shark movies are questionable and dubious movies at best. But I still opt to give a shark movie the benefit of the doubt. And such it was with the 2022 movie "Shark Waters".

And I had never heard about writer M. L. Miller's "Shark Waters" movie before getting the chance to watch it. And seeing that dreaded logo pop up on the screen, you know which one I am talking about, The Asylum, I have to admit that my expectations went down a couple of notches for the movie. Yet, I still opted to watch it.

Director Jadon Cal didn't exactly deliver an innovating shark movie. If anything, then "Shark Waters" was a pretty generic movie at best, even for a shark movie. But hey, at least it had sharks. Well, a combination of dubious CGI sharks and some stock footage of sharks. Again, something that is a common occurrence in shark movies, isn't it?

The dialogue in "Shark Waters" was rather shoddy, and there were some genuinely toe-curling moments throughout the 85 minutes that the movie ran for.

The acting performances in "Shark Waters" were fair enough. Some questionable performances, but also some adequate performances. But truth be told, a movie such as this would be astounding if it had stellar performances.

I mentioned the poorly animated CGI sharks, and mix that with some equally poorly animated blood effects in the water, and you know what you're in for when you sit down to watch "Shark Waters".

My rating of "Shark Waters" lands on a three out of ten stars.

For real. Some people are just haters. I love shark movies and there have been a handful over the years that I had to turn off after only a few minutes. But this isn't one of those.

Shark footage seemed decent, like archive footage from a documentary or something. Some CGI was bad, but it doesn't ruin anything. Just watch and relax a little.

Acting isn't stellar, but it's not horrible like some are saying. Predictable, yeah, but so what?

Just give it a shot. Watch it and enjoy the ride. There's never going to be another Jaws, The Meg (and Meg 2) again. They are just the top movies in the genre and in each of their respective eras.

I love sharks, but I still enjoy a good shark movie. This movie was filmed almost 50 years after Jaws, so you'd expect good (or at least decent) graphics. But no. The graphics are so bad they're laughable. And I'm sorry to say the acting isn't any better. So, is there ANYTHING redeeming about this movie? Only one thing that I can think of. Unlike Jaws, Shark Waters will not be making anybody fear sharks and it certainly won't keep anyone out of the water. Shark Water is a spectacular FAIL in every single way a movie can be. It's so laughable, it's not even funny. So, don't waste your time looking at it. All that will come from watching Shark Waters is that you will have wasted nearly 90 minutes of your life that you will never get back...

A movie as all movies about sharks. Predictable, but not that bad. They are all the same to me. The actors act well, but the idea of little rescuing boat was too ridiculous. The helicopter couldn't find them despite the coordinate. Falling from the boat was also ridiculous. They remembered to use the phone and call her dad after two hours, and after that the tourist was killed by the sharks. I don't understand why the producers continue making new movies about the sharks when everything possibile has bene already done. They are all the same. In all these movies sharks act likes humans, want to revange, follow a certain boat/ship and attack It. They are not humans, they eat if are hungry, they don't revenge and don't attack just like that.

The other reviewers are correct, it's bad. But for people, like me, who enjoy certain kinds of bad movies, it's a gold mine.

After the first shark attack scene, it goes on tediously for a bit, and I almost gave up on it. There is a lot of pointless dialogue, over explaining of things, etc... but if you can stay with it, it's got a lot of laugh out loud moments.

There is a non-sensical plot, TERRIBLE acting, writing and dialogue, laughable accents, baffling and unrealistic actions, attempts at touching & sentimental scenes for characters the audience cares nothing about, amateurish CGI, etc...

It's a real hoot if you're in to the that sort of thing. If you're wanting an actual "good" shark attack film, you should definitely avoid though.
