Jurassic Shark 2: Aquapocalypse

This movie was so bad in every way imaginable.. I am a video editor and it physically hurt seeing those "special" effects. They even left an effect one frame longer than it should have between scene changes which made me chuckle.

But what made me laugh is that they used the megalodon from the video game Ark in the swimming/ocean scenes. Like they didn't even bother to change it in anyway. I've spent 100's of hours playing that game and when I saw that they used it, I couldnt believe it lmao.

But seriously.. unless you're on some mad hallucinogens, don't watch this movie.

I think this was a 5th grader's school project. And I am confident the kid got a D.

Watch it if you need a good laugh at how bad a movie can be.

Incredibly, the opening aerial panning shot bolstered my expectations that this might get off the ratings floor. But the CG (well a computer must have been involved) doesn't reach the level being achieved on mobile phones these days and the performers appear to have been told to be abysmal. It's a laugh only I'm afraid, and by laugh I mean you'll turn it off unless you're on a cheeseball mission or very drunk. Epically bad. Rated 2 because 1 is reserved for the home video garbage.

Right, with the 2012 movie "Jurassic Shark" being a bad movie, but within the scopes of what could be considered watchable, then of course I opted to sit down and watch the sequel "Jurassic Shark 2: Aquapocalypse" that was hatched here in 2021, 9 years after the original movie.

Needless to say that I wasn't harboring much of any high hopes or expectations to this movie from writer Aaron Drake and director Mark Polonia. But I still opted to sit down and wet my feet, so to speak.

But I must admit that the movie's cover/poster was actually rather interesting, and it certainly helped win me over to watch the movie. The title of the movie, however, was another thing, because it makes so many alarm bells go off.

And let's just dive right into it, shall we? "Jurassic Shark 2: Aquapocalypse" is bad. It is phenomenally bad. And no, it is not the kind of bad shark movie that is so bad that it becomes fun and enjoyable to watch. Nay, "Jurassic Shark 2: Aquapocalypse" was just good old fashioned bad and horrible to watch.

The storyline is pretty generic, even for a man-eating shark movie. Yeah, it was as bland as it could possible be. Not to mention as predictable as it could possibly be.

This being a shark movie, of course it needs to have a proper shark, proper effects, believable attacks of the characters in the movie, and what have you not. Does "Jurassic Shark 2: Aquapocalypse" have that? No. Any of it? No. Not even anything? No.

The special effects in "Jurassic Shark 2: Aquapocalypse" were laughably bad. It felt as if the special effects team didn't even bother to try to accomplish anything. The shark looked insanely bad, so painstakingly computer animated, and looking like something from an early 1990s computer game just didn't cut it here. The visual and special effects were almost non-existing in "Jurassic Shark 2: Aquapocalypse". So you are not in a for special effects galore here. Not even remotely. You don't even buy into it being an actual shark for a single scene in which this atrocity of a shark appears.

The acting in "Jurassic Shark 2: Aquapocalypse" was as wooden and rigid as it possibly could be. It felt like even the cast themselves didn't buy into the movie for even the slightest of seconds. And of course, the fact that the movie was wrought with poor dialogue and characters that a toddler could have conjured up, didn't really help further the movie one bit.

"Jurassic Shark 2: Aquapocalypse" is definitely a top contender for worst shark movie ever made. Trust me. It is just fundamentally bad on every level.

My rating of "Jurassic Shark 2: Aquapocalypse" lands on a one out of ten stars. This is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us suffered through this, so you don't have to. And yeah, I suffered through to the very end.

The moment I saw the fake shark fin that was supposed to be the actual shark I instantly knew I was in for a disaster, and oh boy I was right, the acting sucks, the cinematography is awful, the effects are laughable, and the story is... just why.

Don't ever watch this movie if you wanna stay sane, you'll regret it your whole life, Mark Polonia should be arrested for creating this abomination.
