** The FramingDevice guy in the hospital bed and his nurse weren't terribly popular, which might be why they were cut from the amazon prime version of the film.

* SpecialEffectFailure: The sharks themselves are pretty obviously CGI and on top of that, look a little different from average CGI sharks, although to be fair, they aren't meant to be ordinary sharks.
* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: Accused by many of being made to capitalize on the success of ''Film/{{Sharknado}}'', and indeed it was announced shortly after that movie's successful debut.

** Jenna spends most of the film just hanging around the hot tub to provide {{Fanservice}}, then narrowly escapes being eaten by taking the protagonists seriously and getting out of the tub just before the sharks attack it. The final act could have expanded on her sense of grief at the loss of her friends and vulnerability in surviving in the cold weather with just a bikini and a ModestyTowel while also trying to avoid the sharks, but she only has about a minute more of screen time in the film.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter:
** Carol is the cousin of a boy the sharks killed, has a playful rapport with him before his death, and shows a caring side and some brief ScarilyCompetentTracker skills while looking for him, only to spend the second half of the movie doing little besides standing around and making everyone else look more competent. Her GiveGeeksAChance interactions with Randy also don't end up going anywhere.
** Duffy is a MountainMan {{Doomsayer}} who shows some good fighting skills and has a touching history with main cast member Diana, but he has fairly few scenes, and most of them are used for so-so comic relief.

Misuse. Does not mention ending being the reason to avoid.


* EndingAversion: Some fans feel that the avalanche in the climax and the events that follow mark where the plot and the death scenes lose whatever entertainment value they had earlier in the film.

** NonProtagonistResolver Hiro isn't that well-liked by most fans (something lampshades by the AudienceSurrogate in the FramingDevice) for being just a person who randomly (not to mention slowly) resolves the plot by deciding to readjust the totems on a whim, as main characters are dying and unable to do anything against the sharks. The fact that some viewers see her as an Asian stereotype doesn't help.
