    The Comedy That's Not A Comedy

    There's something terrible about to happen to the world - a giant, Earth-killing wave will soon eradicate nearly everything. Only one man, a scientist no less, can save humanity but the powers that be won't listen to him. So, he does the next best thing: builds an ark that holds exactly 11 people.

    It doesn't take too long for this disaster to occur, and when it does Dr. Josh and his loyal colleague, Dr. Pam, are in the right place at the right time - the boat yard! Suddenly, those who doubted Dr. Josh need his help with saving what's left of the planet. Now, the dynamic duo need to get to CERN in Switzerland and accelerate some particles, displace some gravitons, and reset the earth's magnetic field. Can they overcome impossible odds and do the impossible?

    "I need three of you guys on the double," shouts Dr.Pam to a group of survivors she and Dr.Josh picked up floating around in the endless sea. "You're going to save the world."

    This movie is classified as an "Action, Sci-Fi, Thriller." Well, let's see. Action? Check! Sci-Fi? Hmm, well ok. Thriller? Uhm...sure. How about adding "Comedy"? There are some serious LOL moments that I don't think are scripted as LOL moments. This is such an awesomely bad movie, and I think it actually takes pride in being that dreadful. The CGI is so awful it's mind-blowing.

    Nonetheless, we need these kinds of atrocious movies to be more thankful for the ones that are bad, but not this bad. Therefore, when we see movies like "Sharnado (2013)", or the classic "Pootie Tang (2001)", we'll know that things can get worse. Quite worse.

    TWO things you'll LIKE about "Oceans Rising": 1) If you're in a bad mood, this movie will cheer you up. 2) The next movie you see after this one will be better because they can't possible get worse than this one.

    TWO things you'll DISLIKE: 1) The movie itself. 2) Whomever recommended it to you

    So god awful bad it's genius

    This gem throws out all factual science, possibility and reality. If you can't completely suspend even limited understanding of what's real, then you're going to absolutely hate this flick.

    The script is horrible. The acting is horrible. The direction is horrible. The special effects are horrible. The story itself is completely unbelievable. There's literally a complete lack of anything plausible or redeeming in this film.

    It's pure comedic genius if you ask me. If each actor made $500 for being in this film, I would say congrats on robbing the film company for $495 each.

    wow bad even for syfy

    The acting is awful, just awful. A high school drama club could do better. The script is ridiculous. The science doesn't even pretend to make sense and the dialogue is completely unrealistic. The worst thing though is the special effects. The tiny model boat they use for the ocean scenes doesn't look anything at all like a real boat, let alone the boat the people are in. The ocean even looks fake. I don't know for sure but it looks like the ocean scenes might have been filmed in a kiddy pool with a fan blowing over the surface. It was not funny enough to be funny, campy enough to be another Sharknado, or good enough to be a time killer movie. Really, really bad.

    Worst movie ever made

    I wish IMDb made a special 0 rating for such a movie. Never in my life have I been this disappointed. I swear I could have made better scenes with a 4K camera with a drone and a small boat. The acting I mean what the f looks like they took a high school drama team and paid them in Doritos. They should all the prosecuted for wasting my time.

    Worst movie I've ever seen!

    This is by far the worst movie ever made. There is no huge Arch. It's a motor boat. And the acting. Middle school plays have better acting this stupid movie. I actually stopped watching it when the "great flood" hit them on their boat and he had to go underwater in a pool to cut the rope off then suddenly he's behind a fast moving boat?? Really?? My dog puts on better shows. I do not recommend anyone wasting their money or even time

      If the Earth is heating enough for the polar ice caps to be rapidly melting, the Swiss mountain caps could not still be snowy, as shown at CERN.
