Mega Shark vs. Mecha Shark
When another Mega Shark returns from the depths of the sea, world militaries go on high alert. Ocean traffic grinds to a standstill as everyone lives in fear of the insatiable beast. Out of options, the US government unleashes the top secret Mecha Shark project -- a mechanical shark built to have the same exact characteristics as Mega. A pair of scientists pilot the mechanical creature as they fight Mega in a pitched battle to save the planet. But when faulty mechanics cause the Mecha to go after humans, the scientists must somehow guide Mega to Mecha in hopes that the two titans will kill each other - or risk untold worldwide destruction.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
My son who is six years old thought this was the dumbest and stupidest movie Hes ever seen in his life
While transporting an iceberg to Alexandria, Egypt another Mega-Shark becomes thawed, alive and dangerous. The recently thawed creature is able to sling the tug boat through the air and knock off the head of the Sphinx 112+ miles away. They managed to create a Mecha-Shark to combat the creature because Mark 48 torpedoes always miss the mark and come back to sink the launching ship. Pony tailed Rosie (Elisabeth Röhm) is the pilot of the battery operated mechanical shark even though it has a computer that can do it. They create a second mechanical shark just because. After they tag the Mega-Shark with a GPS device, they still need Debbie Gibson to tell them where the shark is headed, because she adds a name to the DVD cover. Eat your heart out Danny Trejo. Rosie has an awkward flashback to a child that died, which really didn't work well in the film.Asylum continues its Navy insignia guessing game. In this film the admiral wore two "surface warfare specialist" breast pins on his lapels (no rank insignia) while a captain wears the breast pin on his shirt pocket (close but no cigar).The ending of the film was a big "huh?" Mild cheese factor. Bad dialog, and they had a great opportunity with a talking computer. The admiral knew someone who died on every boat, and made sure we knew too. Not the best Asylum Mega film out there. Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.
Part of a series of "Mega Shark" movies from The Asylum, this is the best of the bunch, but as the others are just so awful that's certainly not a recommendation! A 200ft shark can destroy giant warships, oil rigs, even has the potential to jump high into the sky & take out aircraft, all with great ease. Really??!! Yet somehow the only answer to kill this creature is to build a giant mechanical shark, which can amazingly be piloted by a single person! MASSIVE plot holes in here, too many to mention, though I will point out that in Australia, where much of the action takes place, vehicles drive on the left, NOT the right! Oh well, this is a crappy Asylum movie. The reasons why I have very generously rated this 4/10 however are down to the CGI being slightly better than in many other such bad creature movies, the film moves at a fast pace & in particular the relationship of the two lead characters, who happen to be a married couple (in the plot). Somehow this just about saves it.
When a massive Megalodon shark is released into the ocean's waters, a Navy team is forced to utilize a monstrous shark-shaped submarine to combat the deadly creature before it's wake of destruction covers the entire planet.This is a massively entertaining and enjoyable effort that really has a lot going for it. One of the best aspects here is the generous helping of cheesy action spread throughout, since the massive shark is unleashed quite early on in the film which manages to get the new submarine into action as well which is quite an entertaining feat considering the amount of time the two spend battling each other is so high that they take an additional connotation that doesn't touch the past instances in the series by finally putting a worthwhile opponent into battle in an environment with the gigantic creature. The submarine being the same size makes for a truly worthwhile battle of the titans between the two and it happens frequently throughout the film, as the attack on the aircraft carrier, the assault on the carrier fleet and the later battle at the oil rig all allow for some really engaging battles between the two behemoths in an enjoyable cheesy manner, and by being spread throughout the film as a whole makes for quite a lot of fun that helps out in the latter part of the film. Having a full-scale city destruction sequence in the middle of the battle between the two accounts for even more exciting action to take place and the film is grossly overwhelming seeing the giant robot wade through the city leaving as much destruction as it does. Not to be outdone in that regard, it's certainly got the best rip on the airliner-out-of-the-sky routine here with an enjoyable cheesy take on the classic scene in the franchise which is a lot of fun. Again, though, the fact that the CGI featured here looks so bad as it does is something to get over when the robot never really gives off the metallic vibe beyond the overall design featured all sorts of different gears and lenses which reveal its' true nature even though the shark itself is easily the best-rendered of the series despite the frequent and annoying size fluctuations which have always plagued the franchise. Still, the only other true flaw on display is the finale, which has a lot of mention towards the sharks' spawning and breeding instinct but is overshadowed to make way for the city destruction sequences that contain all the action but undercuts the story since such a big deal was made about it throughout the last act of the film. Otherwise, this is a lot of fun overall.Rated R: Violence and Language.
