Shark Warning

The storyline holds genuine promise and could have developed into something truly compelling. However, the acting is distractingly poor, lacking emotional depth, timing, and authenticity. Characters feel flat, and crucial scenes lose impact due to wooden delivery and unconvincing performances. It's frustrating to watch a story with such potential be dragged down by a cast that seems disconnected from both the material and each other. With stronger performances, this could have been a standout production-but as it stands, the weak acting overshadows everything else. Should be made again with better Actors.

I had been looking forwarding to getting to watch this 2024 shark movie titled "Shark Warning" ever since seeing the poster for it some time last year I guess it was.

So was the wait worth it? Well, no, not really. Now, don't get me wrong here, because "Shark Warning" is not a bad movie. It was, however, a rather generic and stereotypical shark movie. Writer Ryan Ebert opted to play it safe and incorporate every trope included in the how-to-write-a-shark-movie handbook, and thus it was a rather formulaic movie, for better or worse. Sure, I was still entertained, as it was a shark movie, after all, but it just wasn't an outstanding movie experience.

The acting in the movie were good. The only face on the screen that I was familiar with was actor David Chokachi.

Visually then "Shark Warning" was okay. It wasn't jaw-droppingly impressive special effects, but they were suitable for a shark movie, no doubt about that.

Watchable, fore sure, especially if you enjoy shark movies. And it wasn't in the lower end of the scale of shark movies.

My rating of director Jimmy Gadd's 2024 movie "Shark Warning" lands on a five out of ten stars.

For a movie shot in 6 days, this is well done and entertaining. I like that this Asylum movie has a full story arc and character development. Lake Havasu looks great too! The movie starts 20 years in the past and give the rest of the story context. The shark looks great throughout except for a few shots. But overall, this is a great summer shark movie and it's a nice homage to Jaws. A true Shark movie lover will enjoy this journey. Even though it's a smaller budget movie, it's much better than most movies of this level and even movies that have huge budgets. So give it a chance, sit back with some popcorn, and enjoy it for what it is... a summer shark movie!

Shark Warning might be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It takes place in a town with a lake, and somehow sharks show up-no real explanation beyond a dam, and there's no ocean in sight.

Then there's the so-called "shark expert" character-because apparently, in this lakeside nowhere, we have someone randomly qualified to explain shark behavior without any backstory or logic. Meanwhile, British flags are awkwardly plastered on a bridge like someone got confused mid-set design.

The acting ranges from stiff to straight-up confused, as if even the cast couldn't believe the lines they were being asked to deliver. It's less than mediocre, more like community theater meets last-minute student film.

In short, if you're looking for a suspenseful shark flick... swim far, far away from this one.

Unless you've got kids between the ages of 8-10, I would really recommend not wasting your time on this movie. The entire story feels like complete nonsense, with no real plot or direction. It's hard to stay engaged when nothing makes sense, and the pacing is painfully slow. Even the action scenes, which you'd expect to be fast-paced and exciting, are really sluggish with absolutely no surprises or thrilling moments. The acting doesn't help either - it felt like the actors were just reading lines off the script, with no emotion or effort to make their performances believable. It was difficult to connect with any of the characters because everything felt flat and forced. It's clear that the movie is meant for a younger audience, but even then, it falls short of being entertaining. If you're hoping for something fun or engaging, you'll be disappointed. Save yourself the frustration and skip this one. There are plenty of better options out there!
