Empire of the Sharks

It's just embarrassing. As an actor how would you feel watching this back? Lol, just awful.

It's a mix of Water World and Mad Max with a very light budget! Bad acting, terrible non-existent storyline.

This movie is really "Waterworld" rehashed, with some fantasy and sharks thrown in. The shark movie genre can be said to be bad, but so bad they are good and a bit of fun to watch. Unfortunately this movie doesn't fit into that slot and is just bad on so many levels.

Right from the start this starts off bad - despite being set in the ocean (sort of Waterworld meets Mad Max) it was obviously filmed on a beach, probably the same set used for the equally atrocious Planet of the Sharks. With the exception of Ashley de Lange, who plays a Carrie-like shark caller, all of the cast, along with the script writer, deserve to be thrown in the ocean & fed to the sharks. The bad acting is painful to watch. Poor CGI. And sharks do not growl!!! Very bad film.

"Empire of the Sharks" its about what you would expect from a Mark Atkins Asylum film. This sequel to "Planet of the Sharks" maintains the spirit many direct to video or TV Asylum movies have had since they started. Its cheaply made, it has some awful acting (most of the acting is bad but it has a few good performances), its absurd and the filmmaking its incompetent but part of me thinks that's intentional.

Mark Atkins got better since "Halloween Night (2006)" which was a delightfully bad "Haloween" rip off, while its is better than that, its still not good in any way, shape or form.

You really need to be in the right mood when you watch an Asylum film, just relax and try to enjoy the movie for all of its flaws, most of the time its not rewarding but maybe you can get a couple of laughs out of it, its hard to find one that actually deserves to be seen and "Empire of the Sharks" certainly isn't.

We are subjected to countless movies where the plot and circumstances transcend any and all rational thought. But, I find it incredible that anyone could possiblyproduce a story line that is so ridiculous that absolutely NONE of it makes any sense from the outset, nor has any logic whatsoever, throughout. And when I say NONE of it, I mean that absolutely NONE of it. Nonetheless here it is. I will not waste time explaining in detail, nor "spoil" (sic) things for any potential viewer, It would take too long. Enough to say that, regardless of the requisite acceptances by the viewer watching any SyFi movie: the basic plot is simply stupid and every scene and action of the characters defies all reason, (and continuity), even for this type of fiction. NOTHING about this film works, Truly abysmal.
