VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Leofwine_draca I'm guessing that Hallmark's TV miniseries version of Peter Benchley's THE BEAST was successful enough for them to commission this follow-up series, about a government-created half-man half-fish monster that not only kills people in the water but on land too. It sounds preposterous and it is, but in the hands of Hallmark it's a ponderous and slowly-paced affair, lacking the same kind of atmosphere as THE BEAST (which at least recalled JAWS favourably at times). This one's content to rip off ALIENS for all of the main action scenes, and although cast members Kim Cattrall, Craig T. Nelson, and Colm Feore try their hardest and Stan Winston's effects are, as ever, fantastic, it's middling at best.
trashgang First of all, this was made for television. So gorehounds do know to stay away from this flick. It was made in two parts, each part taking in a whole flick. I also noticed that a lot of Jaws freaks were searching this talked about creature feature. But it surely isn't about the great white. It's a combination between horror and science fiction. But don't think you will see some kind of Alien rip-off. It do has some scary moments but the attacks are filmed off-screen. It never is bloody or even messy like Jaws. By clocking in over 150 minutes it sometimes takes too long to keep you attracted. If they had made it a 90 minute feature it would have been very nice. Kim Catrall is in it and is showing of in diving gear for the 'sex and the city' fans. The monster, not Kim I mean, is okay, you can see that it was some kind of shark turning in a creature like that one in Creature From The Black lagoon. I didn't hate it, but it's okay to watch with your kids
HaemovoreRex From the author of Jaws comes this so, so tale of a military experiment that splices the DNA of a human and a Great White shark.Yes, predictably the resulting uncontrollable beastie eventually gets loose and subsequently goes about terrorising a small beach side community.Craig T. Nelson and the ever sexy Kim Cattrall headline and equate themselves well in their respective roles whilst the rather splendid shark creature is supplied by the fx genius of Stan Winston (who was also responsible for the wonderful looking Pumpkinhead).A fairly run of the mill affair overall, this does nonetheless contain a fair number of exciting scenes to lift it above the average mark although the ending it has to be said is sadly a particular let down!Final verdict? Fellow fans of aquatic beastie films could certainly do a lot worse than to give this a go.
lancelot_732000 POSSIBLE SPOILERS or warnings, depending on your takeFirst of all, I loved the book White Shark. I love the idea of a Nazi experiment lost in the ocean for years. Surfaces later to prey on people. I loved the idea that the "creature" was basically a man with shark-like attributes, such as implanted metal "teeth", gills, and a somewhat amphibious nature. But I couldn't believe the garbage they put on television. I know that in a tv movie, budgets are lower, actors are usually small time, but the greatest flaw in this picture was the script. Had to change it for the times, I guess. But the fact that it is no longer a Nazi monster, its now a US Navy monster run amok. Its no longer an enhanced human monster, its a genetically altered monster that actually looks like a walking shark. I just wish that Hollywood would either A)Try making the movie more like the book or B) or if you feel you have to change everything, try having an original idea and make an original movie. I loved the book, but this movie is only loosely based on the basic concept of the book, if you loved the book, stay away from this movie.1/10
