This movie made sharknado look like an Academy Award for best picture recipient...
, just claim that this film is made due to the unfortunate pandemic that hit the aquarium industry in lockdown and financial ruin, which led to the unfortunate making of this mumbo jumbo horror thriller because they had it almost for free admission, cause the aquarium exists, and wouldve been rather expensive background to hire when under normal conditions. So most of all its an unfortunate product smashed into mums meat grinder and out comes stupid acting, senselessly stupid story, and special effects that would impress davinci inside his camera obscura some hundred years ago.
Do not watch is the message from the grumpy old man, and thank you paul for your good analyses.

What a boring & just terrible pointless flick this was.
You hardly see any creature's at all because the budget was obvious ridiculously so low so what was the point in even trying? I mean it's a zombie creature feature but you really only see a few glimpses of really poor flat looking c.g.i creature's & that's it!!!
The actors have to always look shocked or scared to something that we never see lol it's absolutely ridiculous & embarrassing.
I like tons of B-movies & i know they're silly & fun but this wasn't even that.
Horrendous acting, Horrendous fx & Horrendously boring, you basically follow a bunch of terrible actors trying to look scared as they walk around an aquarium & that's about it. Crap.

This is the 3rd entry in the "zoombies" film trilogy, and the MCU should be rightfully embarrassed.
In each film, the zombie plague occurs, just to animals, however, still leaving humans as the prey. No, the human victims don't seem to come back as zoombies themselves, they get to stay dead.
One thing to bear in mind while watching these 3 films (because, why aren't you doing that?), is that they were made on a shoestring budget. In this one, for instance, i laughed when a couple of characters were stopped by zombified river otters, which were apparently too complicated to animate by the SFX crew, because it cuts to the characters having run away from the otters and saying something like "wow, could you believe that?". I didn't, because i saw none of it on screen. I did appreciate, in this time, that they probably got the aquarium to film in inexpensively because it was likely shot during the pandemic, so there weren't any people visiting at the time. I bet we see a few more movies like this where ingenious film makers took advantage of hiring shooting locales on the cheap.
Other than just taking it all in and appreciating the goofy wonderfulness of these movies (certainly more entertaining than "sharknado"), which gets a little nod in this film because - sharks, it's silly fun, and that's all it needs to be.

A shocking indictment of San Diego's Emergency Services, sending two poorly equipped and possibly untrained men to a public facility in crisis.
This documentary eloquently exposes the tragic impact of underfunding our scientific and educational services. With only one trained computer support person, forced to do double duty as security guard, it's no wonder these people are trapped for 86 long minutes, harassed and attacked by horrifyingly bad CGI.
I'm only glad we were spared the sight of ravenous killer otters - along with many of the other creatures who were apparently all too frightening to commit to film.

Skylar: [looking at the Mako sharks as they feed] Hey, they're pretty quick.
Daniel Hanley: Oh, yeah. They are amazing. They have 12 serrated teeth on the upper jaw, 11 on the lower. You definitely don't want these bad boys taken up in a tornado.
Skylar: Why would a shark be in a tornado?
Daniel Hanley: You know... 'cause of the... Yeah, never mind. It's a boomer joke.
