    Eh...

    This movie made sharknado look like an Academy Award for best picture recipient...

    It turns out you could rent an aquarium cheap during the pandemic

    Asylum trash, if you don't know Asylum makes bad movies on purpose. This movie is a prime example of this. It tried to be funny bad in a few scenes but failed. The script was written around the locations they could film at or made up on the spot. Cheaper the better, anything is acceptable. This movie doesn't do anything good making it a bore. Finding a hole in the plot is easy. Please make some effort.

    reviewer haakonsen couldnt have said it better...

    , just claim that this film is made due to the unfortunate pandemic that hit the aquarium industry in lockdown and financial ruin, which led to the unfortunate making of this mumbo jumbo horror thriller because they had it almost for free admission, cause the aquarium exists, and wouldve been rather expensive background to hire when under normal conditions. So most of all its an unfortunate product smashed into mums meat grinder and out comes stupid acting, senselessly stupid story, and special effects that would impress davinci inside his camera obscura some hundred years ago.

    Do not watch is the message from the grumpy old man, and thank you paul for your good analyses.

    Underwater

    A shocking indictment of San Diego's Emergency Services, sending two poorly equipped and possibly untrained men to a public facility in crisis.

    This documentary eloquently exposes the tragic impact of underfunding our scientific and educational services. With only one trained computer support person, forced to do double duty as security guard, it's no wonder these people are trapped for 86 long minutes, harassed and attacked by horrifyingly bad CGI.

    I'm only glad we were spared the sight of ravenous killer otters - along with many of the other creatures who were apparently all too frightening to commit to film.

    So wrong ... it stays wrong

    No pun intended - also do not try to make sense of it. Any of it that is. You may wonder how Vivica A Fox came to be in something like this - but she needs money too, right? Maybe too much? Though I doubt that - the CGI is bad here - on the other hand you may say it embraces its low budget and goes fully silly. If you can have that mindset you may enjoy this more than others did.

    But then there is also the editing issue. One example is a scene where a character is jumping with a knife to attack one of the creatures ... just so we see her fall in a completely different position ... very weird, very akward ... very wrong? You decide ... by the way Aquarium may be the understatement of the year ...

      Skylar: [looking at the Mako sharks as they feed] Hey, they're pretty quick.

      Daniel Hanley: Oh, yeah. They are amazing. They have 12 serrated teeth on the upper jaw, 11 on the lower. You definitely don't want these bad boys taken up in a tornado.

      Skylar: Why would a shark be in a tornado?

      Daniel Hanley: You know... 'cause of the... Yeah, never mind. It's a boomer joke.
