Aquarium of the Dead

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.

Well, if you are familiar with the movies - the mockbusters - that the movie company The Asylum churn out, then you know what you are in for when you sit down to watch "Aquarium of the Dead".

And yeah, "Aquarium of the Dead" was exactly what you would expect from The Asylum, for better or worse. The storyline and the concept here was actually fun enough, but the movie was just not made great by the inferior special effects and CGI. And let's face it, for a movie such as "Aquarium of the Dead", then special effects are a must.

Sure, I was lured in to watching "Aquarium of the Dead" because of the title. And also because I saw that the movie had Vivica A. Fox on the cast list. And when I saw The Asylum on the intro screen, I must admit that my expectations to the movie went right out the window.

Yet, I opted to watch "Aquarium of the Dead" on the odd chance that this was actually one of those rare moments where The Asylum actually churn out something worthwhile watching. However, as it turned out, then "Aquarium of the Dead" wasn't really one such moment.

The movie just settled into a very monotonous pace and it never really got into gear. So the movie experience was rather prolonged and bland. And the terrible CGI effects weren't exactly doing much to sell the movie.

The acting in "Aquarium of the Dead" was pretty much what you would and could expect from a movie such as this, and from a movie made by The Asylum. It is cheesy and campy, sure, but not among the worst of acting performances I have seen.

I managed to sit through the entire ordeal, but I can in all honesty say that I am not going to watch "Aquarium of the Dead" a second time. Nor is it a movie that I would recommend you sit down to watch.

The storyline told in "Aquarium of the Dead" just felt like it was something that director Glenn Miller was making up as they filmed the movie. So I don't really know what writers Marc Gottlieb and Michael Varrati were thinking here when they wrote the script for "Aquarium of the Dead".

But hey, at least "Aquarium of the Dead" offered something that haven't been seen before. I mean reanimated dead starfish, dolphin, walrus, octopus and crocodile. And you might think that would make for a gloriously fun movie. Well, no, not so much actually.

My rating of the 2021 movie "Aquarium of the Dead" lands on a three out of ten stars.

, 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.

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

What a boring & just terrible pointless flick this was.

You hardly see any creature's at all because the budget was obvious ridiculously so low so what was the point in even trying? I mean it's a zombie creature feature but you really only see a few glimpses of really poor flat looking c.g.i creature's & that's it!!!

The actors have to always look shocked or scared to something that we never see lol it's absolutely ridiculous & embarrassing.

I like tons of B-movies & i know they're silly & fun but this wasn't even that.

Horrendous acting, Horrendous fx & Horrendously boring, you basically follow a bunch of terrible actors trying to look scared as they walk around an aquarium & that's about it. Crap.
