I don't think I was supposed to laugh at this movie nearly as much as I did, but really, how am I supposed to take it seriously? The instant the sharks attacked, it went into slow-mo with someone across the room yelling, "Noooooooooooooooo!" That really only happens in action movie parodies these days. The occasional sudden crew deaths really came out of NOWHERE, so instead of being shocking and terrifying, it just made me crack up laughing. I do find sharks and the ocean genuinely scary, so I was hoping for some good scares, but instead I got an unintentionally hilarious movie. Then again, maybe I just can't take shark movies seriously anymore after having seen Sharknado and Mega Shark...
1 star.
