Great White

Terrible story, dialogue and CGI. The film has a predictable outcome. But I did like the cinematic wide shots and the overhead birdseye view shots with the sea plane that were done for the first act. Even in SDR, the seascapes were impressive. I can only imagine how much nicer it would have looked in HDR. The rest of the camera work, not so much. I didn't like the rapid closeup edits for the rest of the film.

The film is meh when it comes to these types of films. Characters are lame and stereotypical but is that a bad thing with these films? No, I don't think so but maybe a little more time could be made to build them up a bit.

The shark looks bad, very bad. It's amazing that the shark in Jaws looks better and that was in the 70's! One of the biggest issues I have with films today is the use of bad cgi and using camcorders for movies. This one has really bad cgi of the shark.

There are better shark films that have come out since Jaws and this is not it. If you have low expectations, as I did, you will probably still be disappointed.

I love shark films, but I don't know who to blame - the writer or the producers who greenlit this. The story construction is utter disappointment. I couldn't have cared less about the characters, it was just wasted screen time. There was one moment the film could have redeemed itself, when the chick swam out to get the paddle but nothing happened, that could have been a powerful moment, instead it was just more bad screenwriting. This whole production was a wasted opportunity.

At least well 2/3's of the movie, its grumpy men and voulnerable women, not as old as me though, but quarelling just like theyve always done in castaway movies since the birth of cinematology.

Its a trip to the gbr area of australia, a paradise turns into hell due to a great white dork of a shark, sinking their main transportation vehicle, and and do the spagat move into the saafety of a rubber dongi,rolliing the perpendicular waltz rythm of the great pacific ocean. Some small attacks occurs, accompanied with a terribly loud sound and musical effects... and thats it. Will they survive?? I shall not reveal anything...

i am modestly speaking extremely disapointed by the poor ingenouity by the makers, and i wont mention all the breakwaters and sandbottom and shifting sky that the editor has had to work with, the obvioiously moored rubber dingy is pretty bad obscured, and my compulsive answer to everyone wanting to see a good shark film, just forget this one. The script is written in the sand at the nearby beach, and of course they are pregnant with a wow

sharknado concept is actually far better thinks the grumpy old man, even though i dont like them either. This is just to draw a good slump of pocketmoney outta your drawers.

Five people on a rescue mission in shark infested waters, what could go wrong? Listen, don't expect awesome CGI here, the plot is half baked and I couldn't give two squirts of squirrel pee less about the characters, but the film packs some nice thrills and overall, I was entertained. This isn't trying to be a great movie, but just one for the shark horror fans - and let's face it guys, we've had just 1 fantastic sharkfilm. Ever. Until the next one comes, if it ever does, movies like these are enough to still the hunger.
