SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
SanteeFats I gave it a 1 because I couldn't give it a 0. The Syfy channel seems to lean a lot more to fantasy with their "original" movies than the realm of science fiction.Great Whites are solitary hunters.There is no natural way they would hunt in packs. Yes several might show up for investigative purposes or to feed on something big like a whale carcass but never as a school. The growling, especially underwater, is more fantasy. Great Whites do not growl. Even though the gestation period is unknown, the growth rate of Great Whites are extremely slow. They eat mostly fish until about 10-12 feet in length. So even though the main sharker mentions it a couple of times it has no bearing on the attacks. I may seem like I am too exacting about these matters but they are so well known where I live that I think it could have been written closer to real life since they were using known locations and sharks.
Chase_Witherspoon Combine yards of shark stock footage with TV production values and a cast of toothpaste models, and you're in the Shark Zone. A territorial school of Great White Sharks collaborate to upset the local seaside economy, while protecting a sunken treasure from ruthless Russian interests. Abysmally poor acting and the incessant overuse of shark footage ground this attempt shortly after take-off.While diving in a sunken ship rumoured to be coveting a treasure trove of jewels, the motley crew are promptly dispatched by a school of ferocious white pointers. Before you can mumble "look out!", sharks are darting in every direction, a symphony of carnage punctuated by the sounds of body chomping, gory visuals of dismembered limbs and the obligatory crimson stained water. So frantic is the bedlam, that it seems like dozens of hapless victims are devoured, when in fact there's only about four fatalities.As the soul survivor, Jimmy ends up becoming a marine biologist (was there ever any other alternative?) for the local council, and despite the occasional nightmare involving loved ones being torn to pieces by marauding sharks, he's an otherwise well-adjusted, doting father and husband to a absolute babe of a wife. Things gets spicy when a Russian businessman arrives, eager to discover the whereabouts of the hidden treasure, which leads to blackmail, corruption and ultimately, more human chum for the ravenous sharks.Initially, the prospect of witnessing real shark footage interspersed with artificial beasts seemed novel and potentially convincing. Dismiss that thought in an instant, as the reliance on using loops of identical shark footage becomes so hackneyed, that even the real deal starts to look less menacing than the props. Overall, it's tripe and laboured, with stilted acting and an over-abundance of sub themes and plot diversions. Recommendation - watch it once for posterity, and exit the Shark Zone post haste.
ayboday Just when I thought I already watched the worst movie I ever will long ago,Shark Zone comes along on my TV screen.It had that B-movie feel from the start.The plot has to do with evil Russians and diamonds and somehow sharks get thrown into the mix.The heros son gets kidnapped and he is forced to help the Russian mob get diamonds from a wreck which is in a place infested with sharks.Give me a break.That sounds like the plot for a TV series episode rather than a movie.Crap like that shouldn't be an hour and a half long. The acting was horrible.Once you see the acting in this movie you start to appreciate good acting.In the crunch scene he kills the mob leader and the boat catches fire,he and his unscathed son magically appear on the speed boat speeding away from the burning wreck,hows that for action. I am glad I didn't pay money to watch this movie.
moviefreakazoid The small town of San Francisco relies upon the beach for all of its business. A school of sharks roam near a ship containing diamonds which sunk many years ago. The mayor wants to keep the beaches open, the hero disagrees with him. Token Russian guy wants the diamonds and he wants the hero to help him find them. etc etc etcSounds familiar? Welcome to Shark Zone. A movie so terrible that thousands of people watching this may be sworn off movies. Cliché after cliché. Remember Jaw? Well its part jaws, part every other bad(and by bad I mean really really bad) movie you've ever seen. This movie is a comedy of errors. There's lots of National Geographic and Discovery Channel footage, which if you've watch for just 10 mins, you will instantaneously recognise all the shark clips.The deaths are messy, lots of really really bad fake blood. There's plenty of errors in the movie to pick from. In one scene when they're throwing in chum for the sharks, you see jelly (jello) mixture. The sharks grunt for some reason (don't ask). The sharks devour everyone in sight, oo and my favourite - corny dialogue. Lots of lines to pick out from. My fav though-Dean Cochran saying 'Class dismissed!' (Doesn't sound funny out of context, but when watching the movie, it is definitely amusing)If you notice carefully, you see the main character's father returns as the mayor, without a beard and no apparent dress sense. Looking at the movie from another perspective, it is hilarious. Brandi Sherwood's acting is terrible, but funny nevertheless. As a former Miss Teen USA its obvious why she got the part. The whole screenplay is so bad, you'll be on the floor in riotous laughter. I mean sure, shark attacks are nothing to laugh about, but this movie, makes the attacks look so fake, you have no choice but to laugh. This is definitely the Holy Grail of bad movies. This should be shown in film school as not what to do when making a movie.The movie has so many faults, its unbelievable. Not really worth renting at all. Unless you have some friends around and you want to laugh, watch this!The writer/director has another shark movie out next year,beware!A generous 1 out of 10 Laugh factor- 8/9 out of 10
