Oceans Rising (2017)

Very Cool!!!

good back-story, and good acting

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I laughed through the whole thing, yet I don't think the movie is supposed to be intentionally comedic. Oscars for everyone!

I am not a global warming alarmist and found this movie extremely hokey. If you can get beyond that, and get beyond research science of this movie basically just using words from "The Big Bang Theory," then it is worth a watch. Oh yeah, the main guy cries a whole lot too.Look...it isn't a good movie or even a little below average movie, but it isn't as bad as some make it out to be.

Where do I begin this movie had the worst introduction/Exposition and did a very bad job in introducing the main characters and the main threat. At some points throughout the movie it feels just like dialogue between the two main characters. The other characters are very underdeveloped and not memorable. Not to mention the horrible special effects. And finally don't tell me that about 8 people build a 60 foot wall around the entire building .

Have made no secret in the past of intensely disliking, and even outright hating a lot, a vast majority of The Asylum's and SyFy's (near-universally maligned for good reason) output, though there is curiosity as to whether they are capable of making something good and compulsive about their output's badness. Admittedly, both The Asylum and SyFy do have a small group of watchable films and the occasional (big emphasis on that word) above average one, unfortunately outweighed by the lacklustre at best and often dreadful films they churn out.'Oceans Rising' for me is towards the bottom of both outputs. Its sole saving grace is that, although very derivative and not that much different from other films in the disaster genre, it's not as blatant a rip off of superior films (even not good films that are ripped off look like masterpieces in comparison). That is the only thing that can be said slightly decent about 'Oceans Rising', which still manages to be dreadful in every way with nothing to recommend in its favour.Just for the record, like what was said by me in my review for 'Geo-Disaster', giving a film the lowest possible rating is incredibly rare for me these days (before yesterday had not given anything in it for weeks), trying to be a fair reviewer trying to see the good in everything viewed. That rating is only reserved for films etc. that look like no effort or heart was put into it and like nobody was trying, a cardinal sin in film but actually not committed all that often. 'Ocean's Rising', and a lot of The Asylum's output for that matter, is one such film.Visually, 'Oceans Rising' looks incredibly cheap even for something made on a low budget. It has such a drab look and as an epileptic the constantly over-kinetic camera work and dizzying editing made me feel ill and queasy. Not to mention the continuity errors galore. Even worse are some of the most laughable and pathetic-looking special effects to be seen on celluloid, actually looking they were done as an afterthought and on the small remainder of the money they had left. Can remember little about the music, which tended to be intrusive, annoying and out of place. Even for The Asylum and SyFy, the script is so awkward, cheesy and improvisatory-sounding that it is enough to make the toes curl in how awful it is. There is absolutely nothing thrilling, tense, suspenseful, emotionally investable or fun about the story. The predictability may have been forgivable if the film was actually engaging let alone exciting but it fails to be either throughout, and even coherence is not always a strong suit and that's putting it lightly. 'Oceans Rising' is basically non-stop dullness and intelligence-insulting ridiculousness, with unintentional humour because of the excessive cheese and increasingly irritating and illogical character behaviours that makes one endear to them even less in a film with not one interesting or rootable character.Amateur dramatics pantomimes and high school productions have better acting than the all-round poor standard seen here, that doesn't even have dependable actors trying to save it or ones giving career-worst performances going for it. Summing up, dreadful (a word not used often by me these days). 1/10 Bethany Cox
