Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

historyguy197 Ok so lets get right to it. This movie set a new low for any movie. The acting stunk. The special effects were high schoolish. I could write a book on how stupid the writing was. No one would act this in a real situation. But what has been seen can not be unseen. Unfortunately. The only good thing about the movie were the bikin shots which weren't all that great.

cogeorge-17949 Spoiler Alert!Let's be frank: there are movies we watch to get a good laugh, and this is one of them for me. Not because of the punch lines in dialogue or scripted humor in the acting, but a number of mistakes beginning with a release poster that's lying, and the overall idea of filming a 5-headed shark terror, (probably) the 5th sequel to the 1999 movie, Shark Attack that already failed to please it's audience; Shark Attack 2 never did, Shark Attack 3 never did, 2-headed Shark Attack was junk, 3-headed Shark Attack was garbage, and 5-headed Shark Attack is crap. The beautiful scene with the humpback whale (before it was attacked) and the presence of other one-headed sharks, which were about the only things I liked in the movie made up only about 5 minutes of the whole movie. It was easily cancelled out by 115 minutes of poor directing, bad acting, lack of suspense, laughable plot and unrealistic graphic elements.I didn't get the story quite well, but I get the fact that a 4-headed water predator (the 5th head was practically useless; I'll come to that) was lurking around the waters of Puerto Rico. Shark movies like Deep Blue Sea provide us with believable reasons for the sharks' intelligence, aggression and rampage. This movie simply rules it out as being "new species" that goes about eating everything it can find, including helicopters. I also understand that this is science-fiction, but that's not what I see here. SyFys take us out of what we see everyday, out of planet Earth to other worlds of mutants, giants, myths and monsters, and try to persuade us that what we see happened, by means of illusions and realism (not the illusion on the release poster). SyFys by default are horror and thriller-oriented, but for this....*yawn! It looks like fiction we might likely see on The Scooby Doo Show. Hey, give us reason to believe your story.The cinematography and CGI were below standard for a 2017 movie. Many of the human-shark contacts especially outside water were unrelated and way too unreal. Sometimes while you think a shark is right behind somebody, in the next shot, it seems they have out-swum the shark to a great distance. Tons of repeated scenes with the shark and the boat propellers, even after viewers complained about the same thing in the prequel. Look, if you're going to repeat scenes (it's quite normal in animations), space them out as distant on the timeline as possible such that we won't even remember seeing it before.For the first few minutes, I thought I was watching the wrong movie when I saw a 4-headed shark in a movie titled 5 Headed Shark Attack. I thought one of the heads would be severed and have 2 grow in its place, like in the previous movie. Only to have my hopes dashed and plunged below disappointment, when the shark's tail morphed into a head without cause (or was it the arrow?) That was the crapiest piece of crap in Craptown. I'm sure none of the cast nor crew know anything about marine biology outside this movie, or they'd have known that the build of a shark's tail fin is what aids the shark's speed and motion. So, its absence should rather render the shark immobile, let alone swim at high speeds. The large body of the shark will also require a larger tail fin if it must maintain stability and relative speed.Adding to these, I just heard of the 2018 sequel, 6 Headed Shark Attack. We might as well have 7 Headed Shark Attack by 2020, and 10 Headed Shark Attack by 2025. Call the cops! I'm outta here!0 of 10, if I could.

nastiayeleniuk The basic story of this movie is exactly what you expect from the title, a five-headed shark is attacking people on the coast of an island, except that there's a stupid twist that the shark is shown to have four heads throughout half of the movie until we see that its fin is a fifth head, which makes this movie even more stupid. This is a terrible movie with terrible dialog. There's one scene though that's so bad that it's good. The boat of the team trying to kill the shark is disabled and a helicopter is coming to rescue them and as it arrives, the shark jumps out of the water straight up into the air, grabs the helicopter with its jaws and pulls it into the water, which was ridiculous. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie isn't that entertaining.I know that this movie is not meant to be taken seriously, but the shark showed up way way too early and it's in the movie way too much. Every single one of the "characters" is stupid. In the beginning we see the policeman scrolling through photos on a camera and he doesn't even notice the picture of the five-headed shark at first. They're so dumb that they even visit our marine biologists to find out if multi-headed sharks can exist. Our main character, one of the marine biologists, whose friend has just been killed by the shark in front of her eyes changes her mind about not going out into the water again for no reason and decides that she wants to study the shark despite what just happened. And she just happens to know a fisherman who has advanced weapons to... I guess to kill big fish, who also happens to be her ex-boyfriend and the romance concludes as stupidly as it was set up because they decide they want to marry after killing the shark even though they only knew each other again for like one day. That guy might be the worst character in the movie. Not only is he sexist, he also says words like "yo" and "boom" all the time. The whole team is stupid. They should never have let the head of the research team on the boat again because he was responsible for the first shark attack even being possible.All of the acting is terrible. Especially the policeman has terrible line delivery, but in a movie like this it really doesn't let him stand out from the crowd because everyone is at this level.I'm surprised to say that the quality of the shots above the water is actually not that bad but the CGI destroys that only redeeming quality. The CGI water looks fake and the shark looks atrocious. The attack scenes are terrible, nothing about them looks real. When the camera is underwater you can totally tell that it's all done on a computer and the few halfway-underwater shots are somehow even worse. The opening credit sequence with the over-the-top music was stupid and abrupt. Everything is edited so awkwardly.And the shark can growl like the one in "Jaws: The Revenge"...

one-nine-eighty I've seen some reviews that give this a 10/10 or say that this is the scariest thing they have seen (scarier than "Silence of the Lambs" or "The Shining" - WTactualF?!?!?! - They must have been paid to write the rubbish!The title should give you an indication that this is not a super epic or realistic film, and on that it clearly delivers. A typical SyFy film with over the top CGI, bad acting, poor story and impossible feats of reality and nonsense. As the title suggests, a mutated aquatic predator is on the loose. It's up to the local coast guard and scientists from a Puerto Rican Aquarium to stop it before the kill count rises. Along the way you'll get the usual, and expected pointless deaths and tongue in cheek dialogue delivered in an all too camp way. A follow-up to "3 Headed Shark Attack" which won't ruin your cinema/TV movie experience if you miss it and don't bother. If you are a fan of tacky shark based films you'd probably be better looking at "Sharknado". I knew what to expect before watching this and still it failed to deliver any real enjoyment, just anther SyFy Shark film jumping on the bandwagon of an over populated shark infested water of films. I won't leave spoilers, I'll save them for the Goofs section instead because there were loads of mistakes throughout, but FTR the shark does have 5 heads, it just isn't apparent till half way through because of bad editing, or because the production team only decided to add a fifth 5th head halfway through editing FFS. 2 out of 10 and that's being generous!!
