What we have here is another of the great "Sharks" series of movies. You will want to add this to your collection.
A group of scientists at a research facility based in the Arctic (Actually filmed in Utah, USA) battle a breed of sharks that have the ability to navigate ice.
Love To Eat Them dumb peoples, dumb peoples What I Love to Eat, Bite They Little Heads Off, Nibble on They Tiny Feet. Sorry B. Kliban.
This has all the action and even "stay in the car" scenes. You will find yourself rooting for the sharks.
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear And it shows them pearly white - Mack the Knife.

Hunters disappear in the Canadian Arctic area near the open water. A bunch of pretty mean sharks is to blame for that. A research station sinks 80 ft below the surface when the ice breaks, and while their oxygen is running low, David (Edward DeRuiter), Tracy (Jenna Parker), Michael (Kaiwi Lyman-Mersereau who looks like a surfer from Hawaii because he is a surfer from Hawaii) and Alex (Clarissa Thibeaux) are looking for a way to escape. Many sharks, no weapons, and then the extreme cold...
If you are willing to ignore the abysmal special effects, you get a decent thriller about a rescue mission. What is the last place where you'd want to be when sharks are in the water? Yes, locked in under water with them, and this movie manages to keep up the tension, the script is better than others of the genre (although I still wonder why the scientists tell the rescue experts how to do their job), and the acting isn't too awful, either. It obviously is a C movie version of 'Deep Blue Sea', but it is watchable.

The storyline had 0 potential as I predicted from start to finish and who survives
It wouldn't have been that bad if the storyline actually made more sense as most problems had simple obvious solutions. Yet the script was written so that all the characters literally shared only ONE brain cell between them.
Only gave more stars for the blonde guy and the black woman as their acting was spot on and not cringe at all.
The storyline and graphics get 0 stars
Recommend a watch I suppose

Right, well let's just be honest and agree to the fact that right from the very beginning then "Ice Sharks" doesn't really have the odds stacked to its favor, now does it? I mean, this is after all another shark movie set in an environment that normally does not encourage shark activity as such.
But hey, shark movies do come in an abundance especially in strange environments. There are "Swamp Sharks", "Sand Sharks", "Avalanche Sharks", "Atomic Sharks", and the list goes on and one.
So why do we watch these movies when they have the odds stacked against them? Well, personally I do enjoy the campy and cheesy movies like this. They usually turn out to be hilarious, just as they turn out to have more than questionable special effects.
And "Ice Sharks" is no different.
The story here is about a group of researchers or scientists working in the frigid Arctic, when they become prey to a particularly aggressive type of sharks.
The special effects in "Ice Sharks" were adequate, although you should take this with a pinch of salt. You know what you are getting into beforehand sitting down to watch a movie with a title such as "Ice Sharks".
As for the acting, well I will say that people were doing fair enough jobs with their roles, taking into considerations the restrictions and limitations imposed upon them by the script.
For a shark movie, then "Ice Sharks" turned out to be in the lower part of the enjoyment scale. It wasn't a particularly fun or entertaining movie, and there are far better shark movies available.

I really appreciate the limited time I now spend with my 12 yr old son as he now prefers to play xbox so movie night is precious time. However, I wish for this movie he stayed playing online as film is horrific. Was this a media college project or something? Have you noticed that the shark teleported one of the people into its mouth because the CGI is bad. Acting is woeful at best however the constant close ups of the ski mobiles are out of this world.
Just skip
