I'll start with positives, a few cool shark shots, not terrible CGI, and try's its best to work with an obviously low budget. For the negatives, a lousy storyline and very unrealistic shark activity (why was it roaring?!). The people are useless and paddle aimlessly and can't for the life of themselves just stay in the damned raft.

There are so many things wrong with this film.

The CGI is laughable at times, the acting is wooden, the story is flimsy and has been made with no research or facts involved and you will want the main characters to die from the start.

I reckon you could make an entire film purely from the scenes where people are looking at other people, not saying a word, just staring or pulling odd expressions that you may or may not be able to work out because the acting is so poor.

My advice, watch Jaws or The Shallows.

Great White is as basic of a killer shark film as possible. Everyday people surviving a pack of ordinary sharks, not super-enhanced, not vengeful, nothing like the Deep Blue Sea or Jaws IV, or Meg, whatever.

My guess is that they were aiming at a more grounded approach, and it worked ok until a certain point. I think that real sharks probably wouldn't jump out of the water and intercept you mid-air in a bloody fashion, but this kinda takes away the interest from the film. They provide a bare minimum of information about the characters, but this is still a killer shark film and you expect something different from the very basic and tired concept.

My biggest problem with it was that up until 50! Minutes into the film, nothing really happens, they just wrap up the set-up. There is also a very awkward racial or ethnic conflict which I did not understand at all, it just felt super forced.

It's not spectacular, it's not gory and fun, it's not original in any way, so while I can say that it was a film, I can't think of a reason for anyone to watch it.

This was so dreadful it's worth watching to laugh at. Sure, it's got nice scenery. But that's it. The acting is absolutely woeful. In fact, you could play a drinking game with expressions. The cast give long meaningful looks at each other, the only trouble is the specific meaning of the look is utterly lost due to bad acting and worse writing. Take a drink every time they did this and you'd not last to the end of the film. The shark action is very minimal. Mostly the movie consists of people in a raft being utterly dumb. Seriously, they don't unpack the survival box until the second day in the boat. They don't conserve the water when it rains, despite having no bottled water left. Every single time the shark attacks they all stand up, the women scream and then they all fall overboard because they are standing. Even when they get to some rusting hulks in the water which are entirely stable, when they see the shark the women scream and fall over into the water. That was my favourite bit. I actually skipped the last five minutes of this. By that stage I didn't care if they lived or died. I was rooting for the shark.

Avoid "Great White"! It is just boring. The characters just bicker 90% of the time, I think even the shark was bored as it only turned up every now and then, before going off to probably watch paint dry or something. In fact it probably just ate people to stop then whining at each other as that is what seems to pass as "character development".

The shark is practically a cartoon, but it isn't as unbelievable as the plot, writing or characters.

I don't get all the terrible reviews for this movie. Especially because lots of people talk incredible bad of the special effects. It's not Oscar worthy, but is not terrible. It's quite good for such type of movie.

It lacks some quality on the script, but which shark movie doesn't?

There's some other little mistakes, but overall is watchable. If you are a fan of this genre, o recommend you check it out this one.

Ignore the below 4 scores. It's unfair for those who work in this project.

Terrible story, dialogue and CGI. The film has a predictable outcome. But I did like the cinematic wide shots and the overhead birdseye view shots with the sea plane that were done for the first act. Even in SDR, the seascapes were impressive. I can only imagine how much nicer it would have looked in HDR. The rest of the camera work, not so much. I didn't like the rapid closeup edits for the rest of the film.

I cannot believe anyone could give this film less than a 6 ,I gave it an 8 because I thought it was well acted great filming and an exciting story, c'mon man what's with all the negativity.

Five people on a rescue mission in shark infested waters, what could go wrong? Listen, don't expect awesome CGI here, the plot is half baked and I couldn't give two squirts of squirrel pee less about the characters, but the film packs some nice thrills and overall, I was entertained. This isn't trying to be a great movie, but just one for the shark horror fans - and let's face it guys, we've had just 1 fantastic sharkfilm. Ever. Until the next one comes, if it ever does, movies like these are enough to still the hunger.

What a load of rubbish, acting was bad, story line was bad, the sharks were , bad. Unbelievable and so unrealistic. Please don't waste your time or your money. I unfortunately just bought the dvd forv7 quid and I'm sticking it straight into my get rid of pile.

At least well 2/3's of the movie, its grumpy men and voulnerable women, not as old as me though, but quarelling just like theyve always done in castaway movies since the birth of cinematology.

Its a trip to the gbr area of australia, a paradise turns into hell due to a great white dork of a shark, sinking their main transportation vehicle, and and do the spagat move into the saafety of a rubber dongi,rolliing the perpendicular waltz rythm of the great pacific ocean. Some small attacks occurs, accompanied with a terribly loud sound and musical effects... and thats it. Will they survive?? I shall not reveal anything...

i am modestly speaking extremely disapointed by the poor ingenouity by the makers, and i wont mention all the breakwaters and sandbottom and shifting sky that the editor has had to work with, the obvioiously moored rubber dingy is pretty bad obscured, and my compulsive answer to everyone wanting to see a good shark film, just forget this one. The script is written in the sand at the nearby beach, and of course they are pregnant with a wow

sharknado concept is actually far better thinks the grumpy old man, even though i dont like them either. This is just to draw a good slump of pocketmoney outta your drawers.

Just a bunch of people "in their feelings" with a shark in the background. It's boring and done many times before. If your thinking about making a shark film I have some advice:

1. Watch Jaws 2. Recognise the bar set 3. Aim for the bar.

I love shark films, but I don't know who to blame - the writer or the producers who greenlit this. The story construction is utter disappointment. I couldn't have cared less about the characters, it was just wasted screen time. There was one moment the film could have redeemed itself, when the chick swam out to get the paddle but nothing happened, that could have been a powerful moment, instead it was just more bad screenwriting. This whole production was a wasted opportunity.

Much better than the ratings suggest. Its on par with many shark movies out there and this one keeps the tension going throughout and the CGI is ok as well. Better than those horrible syfy shark tv shows.

Thought it was a great Shark Movie . Special effects were decent. Everyone stop your complaining. Geezzzz. Great camera work. Definitely worth a watch !

A dumbass aussie pilot decides to play search and rescue with his pregnant girlfriend one crew member and a couple who charted a plane to scatter a family members ashes off the coast. I never wanted so much a bunch of idiots to die in a film in all my life until I watched the beginning of this POS. A movie full cute faces, a dumbass story and a horrible shark premise. Dont bother.
