hyped garbage

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

This movie has to be the most embarrassing movie that the Syfy Channel has ever done. This is another movie with very thin plot lines, dry dialogue, and horrible acting. The movie starts off quite slow and tasteless, scientists discovering two prehistoric sea creatures frozen in ice deep down under the sea. What breaks the ice is a huge whale collapses onto it, unleashing the huge monsters. The thing about these monsters is that they are supposedly smarter than any humans. After they are unleashed, havoc spreads around the world, including an oil rig being exploded by the octopus, and then a super jet destroyed by the shark. What's incredibly wrong with this movie is the special effects. They were lousy and not very advanced. Not recommended.

Woe is me, was this ever excruciating. I'm probably among the minority of imbeciles that checked this movie out, because of the title. I knew about the bad reviews, I knew it was from Asylum, I knew it was going to be super cheesy, but I love cheesy. It sounded like my kind of movie. I couldn't have been more incorrect if I tried with that assumption. NOTHING happens until around the 75 minute mark. There is endlessly talky dialog that seems to go on forever. I'll give you a small example of how bad it is. "Don't love the Ocean too much. It doesn't love you back" It purposely swindles the viewer with the title, and delivers "F" all for 75 minutes. I expected the creatures to look horrendous, but it has some truly atrocious CGI. It does give us a battle at the end. The shark & octopus do fight one another, but it's so lazy. The fight becomes very redundant, and does virtually the same thing, each time they cut to the creatures battling. The shark rams the Octopus, the Octopus entraps the shark in its tentacles, and refuses to change things or make them remotely interesting. The acting is god awful. Deborah Gibson is ostensibly an 80's pop singer. Shockingly enough, I haven't heard one of her songs. At least I don't think I have. She's gorgeous, and seems to be having fun with the role. I wouldn't call her performance great, but it's tolerable, which is something I can't say for anyone else. Lorenzo Lamas is atrocious. His character is a complete pussy. I grew up with him. I watched Renegade religiously when I was younger, but he is horrible in this film. Everybody in this movie plays it straight faced, I couldn't believe itFinal Thoughts: I should have known better to watch something from Asylum. I'm sure I'll stumble across films from them in the future, but I'm not gonna make a habit of it. The title is nowhere near as fun as it sounds. 1/10

This movie was a 5. I gave it a ridiculous 10 to offset someone's ridiculous 1.I can't imagine what sort of person watches a movie like this and gives it a "1" plus writes a review saying how bad it is. Were they expecting Shawshank? This movie is for a certain type of sci-fi nerd (such as myself) to pass a little time and have some fun in the process. I think if you are the B-movie sci-fi nerd type you realize this is far from the worst thing ever made and you will enjoy while others sling mud at it and criticize it like it was made to compete with Transformers or something. Truth is, I bet you take all the people out there that gave it a "1" and put a camera in their hand and give them some money and see what they could do, they would realize quickly what their skillset is.No doubt if you were drunk or high this would be much better and if you have a buddy or significant other to enjoy it with it would be even more enjoyable. I don't do either of the first 2 and my wife was at work when I watched this, but still I enjoyed it for what it was.It is for a certain demographic of folks to enjoy and no doubt a small demographic, but we are out there.My point is, it saddens me to think there are people out there who rare this a "1" because they think it was "crap". The truth is they just didn't have realistic expectations and or were stupid enough to really think this was supposed to be a theatrical masterpiece. Are there people this dumb?

I gave this film 1 out of 10, because... many people who did reviews say "why can't I give it a zero?" and I'm asking myself... why can't I give it a minus? Because this film deserves - 10! It is extremely dumb and outrageous. The director Jack Perez is obviously an idiot, or someone who likes to irritate people. Who the hell finance this... asylum production, these guys needs to leave this planet. Please... you're making movies that are supposed to be serious... but they are not! It's a fuc**ng comedy! Somebody destroy these asylum guys. Seriously! Now, the story begins with big ice glacier with big megalodon (the shark) and giant octopus inside. The glacier brakes and the two giant entities starts running around eating and destroying everything in their path. Like shark for example jumps of out water and grabs a large airplane... dear me... So, federals grabs three scientists (who are perfectly skilled in mixing some colored liquids) to find a solution how to stop these giant things. The acting is incredibly horrible, the story is marvelously dumb, script, music score, editing, camera work... bad bad bad. To mention that CGI... wow... I can't find the words for it... like in a old video game. The scenes in which military submarines are fighting giant shark are just ridiculous! The submarine commanders are staring in some big spot on the wall just to keep their focus and to flow away somewhere else... perhaps on some pictures of naked chicks on the nearby wall? And that flash effect? Argh! That was terrible! The acting crew? Jezz... where is Bill Hicks... when you need him?! To say something funny and seriously true about this piece of art. Debbie Gibson? You gotta be kidding me? This girl doesn't know what acting is. Her music career failed on the beginning of the 90s, and her hit "Shake your Love" was not hit at all, that song sucks. As Bill Hicks said "put her back in the mall that created her!" I agree on that. We can easily say that this anorexic bit*h is a failure for the rest of her life. Lorenzo Lamas? OK, this guy needs to stick with his martial arts, action films, this was not his terrain, trying to play a rude a-hole federal guy. And as I recall this guy never had a serious role, or performance in his career. Vic Chao (the Japanese scientist), the funny looking guy, who was there to show that he is the, in a way and ultimate threat to shark and octopus, because Japanese are known for their merciless hunt for every living underwater animal... and just to be there as a romantic lead to Debbie Gibson. Jesus, man... that was the most funniest sad story ever, poor dolphin... Oh, he's so sensitive... Debbie's character is a scientist slut if you ask me. But, this Japanese funny guy... he is just funny. And there's Lamar (played by Sean Lawlor, who died the same year the movie was released, I bet he died of heart attack when he saw on what kind of movie he worked on...) he sounded more Scottish that Irish.Now, I suggest that you watch this film only with friends... and before that, get high, get drunk... drug yourself... It makes film better.
