    Storyline

    • Trivia
      At one point Paul is putting on a mask and says "Ain't got no spit," which is the same line Hooper says in Jaws (1975) before putting on his mask and entering the cage.
    • Goofs
      While preparing to move the bomb, Paul removes his watch and tosses it in his backpack, which he asks Chato to take with him when exiting the Rig. However, during the Prayer Circle, the watch is back on Paul's left wrist, with which that hand is holding Tommy's right hand. A camera pan around the circle comes back to Paul, and the watch is not on his left wrist, which is still holding Tommy's right hand.
    • Quotes

      Junior: So, you do believe it's Tlaloc?

      Paul: No. But I know a big-ass shark when I see one.

    Extremely disappointing

    Just got back from watching this movie in the theater and I am still mad about wasting my money on this trash of a movie. The only scenes with the creature are short and happen to quick. Other than that the rest of the movie is nothing but arguing, family drama, preaching about humans destroying the planet, etc. Not to mention there is no character development. First shark movie I have seen where I actually wouldn't have minded if the whole cast didn't make it. If you are wanting to watch a shark film then I wouldn't recommend this one. This movie actually makes The Meg seem like an Oscar worthy film.
