I just saw this movie, without expecting much from it.
Since it's totally spoken in French and watching it with english subtitles. I expected to watch an B-C movie, just to see what it's about as an casual evening flick with friends.
I've postponed watching this like 3 times.
The plot a shark in Paris, like c'mon, obviously a work of fiction, I need to be in blank mood to watch this I felt.
And I was pleasantly surprised.
I'm not gonna spoil it, so will tell only few things on why you should give this one a chance to watch.
The intro action was pretty decent start.
Followed by the set up in Paris location, fast paced anxiety driven french talk, made me rewind a few times on what was said as I couldn't follow lol.
One character being especially annoying in wishful thinking behavior. I/we immediately wished her to be shark food. Like rooting for the shark to please eat that character & rid of the annoyance. Much like a chucky movie, with the character poking the doll and you root for chucky to do something lol
And when the action played out, it was really gratifying.
I was pleasantly surprised, entertained and laughing with the people I was watching with. It became obvious that the annoying stupidity of the characters was done on purpose for those gratifying ripping limbs moment of dealing with an abnormal shark.
What surprised me & made the movie good for me, was the Lilith myth applied. Tho an unspoken theme in the movie, the shark codenamed Lilith, and having evolved primal attributes made me reflect on the biblical suppressed lilith story, that was pretty cool.
People that know lilith myth will make sense of it right away, but to others it will go unnoticed or make less sense. I had to pause the movie and explain Lilith menstruation & reproductive myth background to my fellow viewers, as they didn't get what some of us was laughing about & thought of as cool. They were missing out on that fun enjoyable detail. So I have to point that out for you to not miss out ;D
If you watch it with an fiction mindset, like jurassic park, knowing dinosaurs are extinct, or "planet of the apes" knowing talking apes don't exist, you'll do just fine enjoying this movie, don't be silly calling them unrealistic, as some reviewers do haha
I initially wanted to give it an 6 star My entourage watching with me, all collectively gave it an 7 star, raising eyebrows at me for saying 6 whilst enjoying the movie the way I did haha. Since we did have a really good time & fun evening I agreed on 7.
To me It had an interesting ending, indicative premise of to be continued in part 2, which I'd love to see too, if they're able to make it better & expand beyond this one.
This could be an Planet of the apes or chucky fictive world-like franchise, if there's a good development/production behind it, and hopefully in English next time.
That's my 2 cents & review about it. Cheers guys.
