i must have seen a different film!!

Absolutely Fantastic

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Warren Christie in this?? what the hell? I recognized him from other better stuff since then but his being in this was a surprise (Musta been a low point of low points in his career!)In fact I'd say the the only real surprise.. it's a horrid cheap pathetic "made for TV" pile of crap that some one got suckered into forking over $ to make.I've seen better acting and production quality from a HS play! The premise is beyond absurd right off the bat.. special effects are barely better than the acting skill.. or lack thereof The other reviewer saying 20 min was all he could stand (or she? doesn't matter).. I again got stuck with this sadly being the best thing on one day while on devil child duty.. it was this crap or garbage like "house wives of cardsashians or whatever pathetic mind numbingly stupid crap they are coming up with of that sort.. you know what I mean I'm sure.) Well this was so bad it was a serious question of leaving it on this crap or channel flipping to horrible fake "reality TV".. this movie won.. if anything can be called a winner in this case at all. it sure as hell was not a win for me.Anyhow.. absurd premise + pathetic acting + dare we say direction of some sort.. + somehow managing to waste a budget of 3 MILLION... wait a min.. 3 MILLION??? What in hell did they spend 3 MILLION on with this crap?? Seriously.. more like budget of 3 million.. spent 100K on the production total.. pocketed 2.9 MILLION and used the entire thing as a giant tax write off.. and while we do a lot of good productions in Canada this is not one of them.. but I guarantee someone used tax credits here for the making of this horrible garbage.Skip it.. don't waste your time.. save yourself the mental scarring that is inevitable for those whom watch this!!!! Even Plan 9 from outer space is Oscar worthy in comparison to this crap and sadly several other "things" (calling them movies is an insult to what a movie can actually be) I've been subjected to recently (see my other reviews as warning to save yourselves from such torture!!)

Just don't expect too much out of this movie, and you'll be satisfied with it. It was a reasonably scary movie. It wasn't meant to be Jaws or an Academy award winning movie at that-just entertaining. The tsunami scene was scary, and several of the shark attack scenes made me jump out of my seat, and the lady's responses to having the bandage put on her wound (SHE SCREAMED OUT IN PAIN!!!!!) were realistic. It was a good escape from reality, as movies are supposed to be. It will remind you a bit of Baywatch with a shark attack and a tidal wave thrown in for good measure. I think that if you have the time, you should check it out if you like horror/disaster/good looking people on a beach type movie.** out of ****

The most ineffectual non-threatening tsunami ever committed to film helps bring the dreaded Goblin sharks (that were freed by an underground earthquake) to attack unsuspecting Malibu beach dwellers. Yup if that doesn't tell you that it's time for another Syfy movie of the week nothing will.The acting was surprisingly OK, but other than that small bit of semi-good news, everything else was laughably awful (not too surprising given Syfy's less than stellar track record). The lead actress was insufferable with her damsel-in-distress routine. The lead actor a bit too cartoony. The sharks were easily the most relatable characters in the entire film, but even they grew redundant and stale before too long.

I'm not sure whether this is actually a film, or a TV series, but i bought it as a whole feature length film because it looked interesting, a massive shark on the cover swallowing someone; but it turns out there are about 7 4ft long sharks. The film is shocking, really bad. So, what happens when a bunch of uncoordinated lifeguards become stranded in an indestructible lifeguard cabin after being hit by a tsunami? they're hunted by special needs sharks of course! A group of survivors who look like the stunt team from lost are hunt by the most un-intimidating sharks in the world who look like they've escaped from a circus. That's about it. Every character's involved in some sort of love triangle which just makes you want them dead... and you'll only be disappointed because about 1 person dies. That's all there is to say about this movie really. It may sound like a Petty and pointless review but it really is that bad.
