Shark Waters

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...

Watch it if you don't have anything else to watch. It is lame, entertaining with less kill than would have liked, there needed at least forty two girls in the movie and thirty one men and seventy nine elderly in a big yacht. Only then, it would have been more entertaining and more believable.

The visual effects are horrendous, the sharks aren't.

Seeing it was from Asylum, I lowered my already low expectations. The biggest problem was not just the script, as it is very generic and farfetched. The characters were somewhat likeable, so you do care who got killed next. The real problem was in the execution. Donna falls overboard, and her boyfriend Wyatt get ahold of the throttle, and gets a shark tangled in the prop. But a scene from underwater shows no sharks near the props. Wyatt then jumps in the water to go mano-a-mano to kill a shark, which is not good idea. The ship's radio is knocked out, but Lucia has her phone, but naturally the battery is almost dead. But she got a call to her father, and was able to give the exact location of where they were. They start taking on water, the boat being hit by the sharks, but while there is water on the deck, apparently none below. In water filled with aggressive sharks, two of the rescuers come out in a rubber dinghy. The captain and first mate were likeable, so I do give it three stars. But only barely. But this is a low budget shark movie, so one is not expecting much from the film, and at least it is short.

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.

I fairly certain this film was directed by the dead shark from Jaws!

Filmed on a Nokia 3310 with a script supplied by a dyslexic cat this is possibly the worst film I've ever had the misfortune of watching. Sadly I stuck with it until the end just to see how woeful the ending was. I made that sacrifice for you people so you don't need to. The interaction between the cast feels as though they recorded their lines on different days in different countries. The first 2 characters to die probably fed themselves to the sharks rather than live with the shame of having been cast in this total shocker.
