AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
nmfsd While I love movies about sharks and creatures, this one is super unrealistic. No shark behaves the way it is depicted in this. Sharks are scary, because they have the ability to kill a person, but they aren't bloodthirsty man killers. Anthropomorphism is a common thing for Hollywood to do to increase suspense for less informed viewers. This movie is entertaining, but every scene where the shark is involved is downright idiotic. It only reinforces that sharks are out to kill anything that moves, especially humans. This notion is completely false. Sharks do not actively seek out human beings. If anything, sharks try to avoid people, because they know that people 1) aren't in their regular diet, and 2) humans are extremely dangerous to sharks. Between long line fishing, nets, chum fishing and large fishing vessels, sharks are intelligent enough to to stay away from us. Sharks leaping out of the water to grab a person crawling above, makes no sense... especially after it has already fed a few times. The people who wrote this movie are dumber than real sharks, yet still obtain the motivation to make BS propaganda. They only perpetuate the unreal notions of the fear of sharks.
foden1234 OK, not a real fan of present day shark mania movies (Atomic Shark, Ice Shark and so on)but this has something going for it, good acting, good cinematography,good script.I think of it as a cross platform movie, meaning it's a cross between Stephen King's The Mist and Peter Benchley's Jaws. An interesting angle of horror and tension and of course the antagonist...Mr Shark.visual effects well above par for a "low budget" movie. the people behind the making of the movie definitely have talent, as do the actors.If you are stuck for a really good movie, and have watched the cream of them...then sit back and have a good night in with popcorn and enjoy.
msblackeyes68 I broke my leg a few months ago and started watching movies. I'm huge on horror. Animals attack type and suspense and of course cheesy 50's and 60's classics. I'm not easily entertained and I have shut off my share of movies. I won't waste 2 hours on a dud. That said lets get on with the review already. First I didn't shut off the movie and that says a lot right there. And in no time did I even consider it. This wasn't in anyway "jaws" or "deep blue sea". BUT it is worth watching if you like shark movies. Movie starts in store where the characters are introduced and back stories are created. Then out of nowhere. (In a world that has all type of warning devices) a huge tsunami barrels down on a little beach community. A robbery is going down in a grocery store and just before more people are take out by the gun man the ocean comes crashing thru. The survivors pull themselves up on shelves to wait for help. Hey if they get hungry they just have to reach down and grab the bad of Doritos floating by. The rest of the movie is all about survivoral and ways to kill the now meat eating 12 foot sharks whose had a taste for live bait. Positive: The shark didn't look like blow up sharks like they do in some. They move and look like the real thing. Characters actually have back stories that didn't bore you to death. The acting was actually half decent and the script isn't boring and have people just talking to fill in time. . And of course they added the one person everyone wants to be eaten and they don't disappoint Negative. I think they could have came up with a much better way to kill shark number 2. I don't understand how the store is half flooded yet the underground garage directly underneath has water but only to the roof of the cars AND yet the stairwells between the two levels is completely under water. How does that work?!?Anyways back to my recommendation. Don't go in expecting jaws. Don't go in thinking your going to see stunning scenery (the common place of finding a shark). Don't expect Oscar winners or memorable one liners. or you will sorely disappointed. But if you tell yourself it's a b+ movie and your just wanting to be entertained to a few hours. Then you. Will. As I write this I am watching jersey shore shark attack....... I'll be shutting it off... NOW!!
wes-connors Off the east coast of Australia, attractive lifeguard Xavier Samuel (as Josh) is making out with super-slender girlfriend Sharni Vinson (as Tina) when a shark attack occurs. The great white shark eats a couple of people. Later, after the TV news issues warnings about sharks gathering off shore, an even worse disaster hits the area. Look out, it's a tsunami! The aforementioned couple and a small group of others are trapped at the flooded "Oceania Food Mart" and its underground parking lot. They are joined by a couple of very hungry sharks...Just when you think they've run out of ideas, along comes a "sharks in the grocery store" movie. At least, this is something different. The characters are not too appealing, but director Kimble Rendall giving some of them a good send-off. Still, it does seem like an unnecessary number survive. The youthful cast members are all surprisingly fit, as is often the case in these films. The leading woman, Ms. Vinson represents the "skinny" body type well. Nicely constructed set direction and photography by Ross Emery are strengths.***** Bait (2012-09-05) Kimble Rendall ~ Xavier Samuel, Sharni Vinson, Alex Russell, Phoebe Tonkin
