I'd generally put this film squarely into the lump of horrible and utterly snoozefesty Sy Fy/Asylum staples, but the redeeming quality here (insofar as it can be counted as one) is that it's audacious and bonkers. If it had better effects at all, the actions sequences would probably be fun as well, but that's probably the true low point: you'd think seeing a shark the size of a tanker taking on a battleship should be brilliant, but it's ruined when the whole thing looks like someone upgraded the TRON graphics by a few percent.
However, that being said, I would highly suggest finding a couple of other people who can have fun snarking at a film - and letting it rip. It's a great way to spend a Saturday night, provided you've got something lined up afterward to revive the brain cells that will have died.
Fun With Friends - and only then
