Megalodon

Acting dreadful. CGI dreadful. Storyline dreadful. Military accuracy dreadful. Strangely tho I laughed at most of the things that made this film bad and ended up enjoying it! Would I watch a sequel? Sure. Would I watch it again? Eh,,, no.

"Commander" was a Lieutenant. Non regulation haircuts from enlisted up to hobo Admiral. Rescue sub looks like Saturday morning kids cartoon. Security guy would NEVER bring an M4 rifle on a sub...shotgun yes, pistol, okay. Russian accents dreadful. I could go on but I have to wash my eyes after watching this dreck.

I mistakenly watched this because I thought this was The Meg, dumb I know, but it is based on a similar premise. I should have realised when I noticed Michael Madsen was in it, he is usually only in bad movies and this was bad, with a capital B.

This is so bad that I would have turned it off after 10 minutes, but my partner was liking it, so, regretfully I had to endure the whole thing.

I love shark movies, but this one is not worth watching at all. Everything about it was just wrong.

Avoid like the plague.

I love my bad shark movies. I love my great shark movies. And I really love my bad great shark movies. Sadly, this movie falls into none of those categories. I will give some credit to a few of the actors for making the best of what they had to work with, but everything else about this was just bad. You don't come to expect much from the Syfy movies when it comes to special effects, but the scene of the Carrier rocking in the ocean looked so poorly done it was just sad. And I've seen many complaints about the lack of military attention paid to this and yeah, gotta agree. There is usually something to enjoy in these movies, maybe a favorite actor chewing up the scenery or such, but we didn't even get that. I feel they spent the majority of their budget paying Michael Madsen to be in it and for all of his maybe 10 minutes, he kinda phoned it in. Sadly, this will NEVER end up in my to buy and watch over and over pile. EVER.

Okay, several characters, including Michael Madsen, are sporting haircuts that are not up to miltary specs. But the BIG mistake was in reference to Caroline Harris's character, which is listed as "Commander" Lynch. And all the characters in the movie refer to her as Commander Lynch. But she is wearing 0-3 insignia, which in the US Navy is a Lieutenant, not a Commander. A Commander is an 0-5. So I guess she got a promotion in the field, but did not bother to change her rank, correct???? Wrong, I'm going with this being a bad "B" movie and the miltary consultants did not do their job.
