How sad is this?
TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

The cleavage and hard bodies are spectacular and promising but the promise of a bikini contest never materializes and there are no women being natural and flaunting their bodies and no sex. It is almost like a Taliban/Republican ski resort. Otherwise, the story is a joke, the 'so-called' sharks look like rubber duckies and just when someone yells 'movement alerts them, they all... move! Opposite of Simon Says!!! I did enjoy that the sheriff leaves all his guns and machine guns (!!!) hanging out available on the wall and that the 'Japanese' woman cannot even pronounce the simplest of Japanese words anywhere near a Japanese person... Guys, just give us the T&A and we will watch and enjoy... what is all this other stuff? Hoorah for thin, flaunting women who spread it.

I've seen a lot of bad shark movies, but this one was only partially likable. The main premise that made me watch it was the bikini contest they talk about, but there's no bikini contest. Yes, there are a few girls in skimpy clothes, and while they were hot, them walking around didn't exactly fit the idea of a bikini contest. So I give it a bad score for really false advertising--though the rest of the movie was pretty much what I expected, so there is that.Plot: 6/10 People at a ski resort are attacked by the spirits of sharks that were summoned hundreds of years ago. That would have been a better description than talking about a bikini contest that never happened.Character Development: 4/10 Can't really say much on this because there was very little character development. I mean, less than there usually is in these kinds of movies, and I've seen quite a few movies like this one. Half the cast looked alike so it was hard to keep track of who was who.Direction: 6/10 The way the story was told wasn't completely horrible, after all we did get to see people eaten by sharks while skiing and snowboarding. It was also good that they did figure out a way to get beautiful girls to strip down to their bikinis. Kudos for that. I just wish there had been an actual contest.Casting: 7/10 The cast were all beautiful and handsome, just too bad you couldn't really tell one blonde from another. There was one girl introduced at the start of the movie and I didn't realize that they actually kept showing her until right before her character died.Acting: 6/10 Not bad but not great, either. Typical for this movie.Cinematography: 9/10 Beautiful scenery, great shots of the girls, and even the special effects weren't bad. Can't really go wrong with this movie visually.Music: 9/10 Music was pretty good, especially the end song.Pacing: 7/10 First thirty minutes of this movie felt like an hour to me. Rest finished up okay, though.Sets and Costumes: 8/10 Girls, bikinis, ski resort--what else is there to say?Re-Watchability: 5/10 Probably not going to watch this one again, but I might. Depends on if I decide to give it another try or not.Final Score: 67/1006.7/10C-

When I first heard of the film I had much doubt, I was thinking a shark that swims through the snow is an awful idea. After I watched the film I was definitely wrong. This film is even better than the original jaws films. The suspense is surreal and the acting is outstanding that I am surprised such a film has not won numerous Oscars so far. People who give this bad reviews point out the tiny obsolete flaws that they can find. When I watch this I ignore those minor flaws and focus on the great camera angles and shots, the brilliant acting, the fantastic story. This is one of my all-time favourite films and I highly recommend it to anyone.

A remote ski resort is terrorized by prehistoric man eating sharks after an avalanche. Yes really! I'm been trying to figure out what makes a good bad movie (Sharknado) vs. a bad, bad movie (Avalanche Sharks)? I mean they're both B movies you watch for a laugh in a so-bad-its-good kinda way. They're also both about equal in terms of acting, direction, plot and special effects. Yet somehow Sharknado was fun to watch whereas Avalanche Sharks was just unwatchable.In the end I made it through about half of this, I mean I had to see a few attacks, but the CGI is poorly (cheaply) done and while this is just a crappy B movie I still wanted a bit of an explanation as to how/why there were sharks living in the snow -they apparently came from space.I still had fun guessing who gets eaten first and how; the babes getting it in the hot tub, the dude with the snow blower or the girls running from the advancing fin cruising through the snow.After the initial curiosity wears off though there's not much left. 01.02.14
