Shark Night 3D (2011)
Its been awhile since there's been a theatrical release of sharks. Wait...it sucks...predictable.
Hey a shark movie. Its been awhile since the "man-eating" beast has had a theatrical release. Of course there are many films on sharks, and in my mind only very few have actually been enjoyable (Jaws, Jaws 2, and if there has to be a third I would go with Deep Blue Sea).
This movie just isn't trying at all. Its the same cliché as all horror-survival movies are now-a-days; a bunch of high school/college students in - a - over - their - heads - but - some - how - manage - to - overcome - the - impossible - with - the - retarded - plot - twist - that - doesn't - make - sense - at - all(Yep that's all in one breathe). Flat out its annoying with little to no character development, and cheesy death scenes. To be honest the death scenes are a joke; very little to no gore what so ever, and we all know that's what makes this type of movie. See I can and will over look the "realism" effect if the movie is enjoyable, and I do because in the end that's what it is, a movie, but this movie just keeps at it. Sharks don't leap out of the water, sharks are not rouge they don't go off and hunt people down, and sharks don't feast on humans. This movie has all of those shark clichés.
If your looking for a shark movie to watch this isn't the one. Jaws, Jaws 2, Deep Blue Sea, The Reef, or even Open Water are all better options. There will never be another Jaws...the movie that actually scared millions from going back into the water.
Basically this movie is trying to cash in on the recently released Piranha 3D from last year. They both have similar concepts and story lines, but in the end its all about the deaths. If this movie had some actual gore, and a not so over the top plot twist then maybe, just maybe I could over look the terribleness of this film.
