Tsunami Sharks

Trying to get on with theirs, a group of London strangers find themselves stuck in the city with a severe storm system leaving everything trapped underwater and letting dozens of vicious man-eating sharks swarm the city looking for prey and forcing them to get out of the city alive.

This was a bit underwhelming, but it has some likable enough factors to it. Among its main enjoyable elements is the sense of action and excitement that comes about from the series of interactions and confrontations with the sharks in the flooded locations. That it tends to take place throughout the city offers some fun moments here with the characters discovering the seemingly unnatural situation of finding themselves completely overrun by water and having to navigate to safety from the massive sharks trying to get to them. This basic setup is overall fun enough to leave a series of solid, if never inherently over-the-top, scenarios involving sharks chasing them through their homes, inside parked cars located in garages, stuck inside restaurants, or even in apartments, which have some generally goofy and cheesy confrontations at play. With the whole thing moving along swiftly due to the rapid pace, making everything come together at a great pace, this one has a few positive points to it. There are some big issues with this one that bring it down. The biggest drawback to this one is a wholly rushed storyline that never once feels as though anything has the kind of proper stakes necessary to make everything come off appropriately. The initial scenes of the group quickly going through their lives or meeting up with friends are then dismissed to get to the weather event that's dropped all the water on them, bringing the sharks. It feels as though there's no chance to get an idea of what's going on before we're dumped into the situation where they're stuck in a flooded city with these sharks who just appeared out of nowhere so although the action in here is immensely fun and chilling on a basic survival level the rest of this one is feeling like a random assortment of scenes featuring characters running into sharks in a flooded city. That context is severely missing, which is a big part of helping to add to the fear of a situation, so being missing here does this a huge disservice. As well, there's also the idea of the film being let down by the expectedly cheesy and cheap-looking CGI for the sharks who are full of the usual issues plaguing these films, from inappropriate activity, dimension changes, scale discrepancies, or being tasked with doing unnatural action scenes for the sake of getting the story going which all lower this one significantly.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Violence.

Another questionable shark movie, to be sure, based on the title of the movie alone. And I bet that the movie's cover is far better than the actual contents of the movie. But still, I opted to watch "Tsunami Sharks" on account of it being a movie I hadn't already seen, nor actually heard about, plus there is just something alluring about shark movies, despite the fact that the majority of them are questionable affairs.

I am a bit amazed that writer Harry Boxley could manage to churn out something so bland and generic, even for a shark movie. Sure, it was watchable, but it felt like this movie would make a great background movie, something you listen to with half an ear whilst doing something else entirely than watching the screen.

I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, and that is actually something I do enjoy when I watch a movie. The acting performances in the movie were okay, but nothing outstanding or memorable. I wouldn't be able to single out a single actor or actress for putting on a performance that stood out from the others in the movie, should I be asked to do so.

The special effects in the movie were not great, mind you. But thankfully they were better than many other shark movies, and that helped to make it bearable to sit through this otherwise rather bland movie. The scenes had some gloriously poorly rendered CGI water in it, which looked like something from a computer game from the early 2000s, so yeah it didn't come off as being realistic or believable.

Watchable a single time, but it is a not a movie that warrants more than a single viewing. And it was a rather forgettable movie, even for a generic shark movie. I believe that come tomorrow I will already have forgotten about this movie.

My rating of directors Tyler-James and Ben J. Williams' 2024 movie "Tsunami Sharks" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.

Worst movie in history! The plot makes no sense neither do the actions of the characters. The effects are laughable and acting atrocious! So many flaws it's unbelievable!

The only character I liked was Fred. He at least has a possible future as an actor. If you're looking for an escapist movie or enjoyable one this is not it!

If you're really inebriated or on tranquilizers you might understand this rambling mush mash of crap!

There's not one famous actor in this movie for good reason! It's a career killer for everyone involved. It seems the director/ directors were not on set doing what needed to be done!

Please avoid for your own piece of mind!
