Shark Waters

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 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...

First off why would the show control center sending a message on all open channels when they don't hear anything. Two, how does the radio not work. The shark hit the propeller. Didn't know the whole electronic system was in the propeller. The acting was like wtf. The boyfriend to one of the characters was annoying was F and I couldn't wait for him to die. They finally realized they had a radio almost close to the end of the movie. A person got bit by a shark and she's acting like her whole entire leg was torn off by in reality it's a light bit at best, and just so much more stupid stuff. Like I stupid movies but this was beyond that smh.

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.

Thus is a C- at best movie. Rented it based on a 7.9 review. It plays more like an amateur film. Shark scenes are obviously computer generated. There is no real plot and what us there is beyond predictable. Whoever gave this a 7.9 must have done it as a joke. The scenes jump without connection. It's so bad it's almost comedic. The characters never seem to learn from one mistake to the next. Really, don't waste your money or time on this movie. People go out in a small rubber dingy to rescue the guys daughter when they know there are multiple sharks attacking. They call coast guard as an emergency and are put on hold. A helicopter with their coordinates can't find them. They are resting in a sand bar and still get attacked. A girl gets bit abd they wrap it but later when they stand her up the wrap isn't there. They also tell her to keep weight off her leg and she does it on the wrong leg!
