This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Sometimes it's unfortunate that IMDb won't allow a reviewer to give a score lower than 1, as a few films are so utterly crappy that a 1 seems way too generous...such is my feeling towards "Attack of the Jurassic Shark". This film appears inept in just about every way, with amateurish and often annoying acting, incompetent direction, some of the worst CGI I've ever seen (a small plastic shark being moved about by hand wouldn't have been much worse) and a script that is just plain stupid. The film is set on a small island owned by a company. It's restricted so, of course, lots of young people keep appearing there! First, there are the two hot idiots at the beginning of the film, then a group of idiots led by an artistic and really angry dominatrix who is up to something and then a group of really young and stupid folks led by a girl who wants to do an exposé and impress her teacher (how cute!). Each is simply shark-fodder and although they are now SAFELY ON THE ISLAND, they still manage to get eaten! And much of the time they argue...much like you'd expect 13 year-olds to argue. In fact, they argue and whine and spout so much insipid dialog that the audience is praying they get eaten...and fast!The bottom line is that this shark movie is so bad, so stupid and so inept that I could only see someone watching this film with some friends so they can laugh at the awfulness of the production. There is nothing positive I can say about this very stupid film.

Since full movies are long complicated things and the Sun is expected to incinerate the Earth within the next few billion years with a solar flare, I don't have time to describe the unimaginably vast awfulness of this pustule on the metaphorical being that is the film industry, and so you will have to imagine for me that all films are desserts, since these are much simpler.The Jurassic Shark cake is the kind of monstrosity you will chance upon once in your life while attending a do hosted by a distant relative with distinctly bad breath. Where one bite of this disgrace is enough to bring a tear of pure disgust that you share blood with this super villain, the great "Uncle Badbreath" whose superpowers consist of both hosting the most boring parties and inhuman knowledge of which ingredients taste the worst together. The kind of cake that is so bad you immediately spit it out, note it looks no different, then powerfully defecate towards this "Uncle Badbreath" partly to eject any stray detritus and partly as a fecal demonstration of your hatred to the result of his powers.Would recommend.

Jurassic Shark is every bit as bad as the other reviewers have said, it is a classic example of how never to do a low-budget movie and quite possibly the worst shark movie ever, and there are some terrible ones out there. Any redeeming qualities? No, apart from that the most inspired the movie gets is its catchy title and the attractive girls but even they're wasted. Visually, while there are some cheap-looking low-budget movies out there Jurassic Shark really takes the cake complete with repetitive and very incomplete camera work and editing, murky lighting and truly dreadful special effects on the shark and the dinosaurs. The shark constantly changes size and looks like it was made of wood and cardboard and the dinosaurs look as though they would belong in a badly rendered video game from twenty years ago. They have no menace or even personality to speak out, and even worse the shark is severely under-utilised. The attacks, the way the shark behaves and deaths scream of you've-seen-it-all-before quality(and that's even in other shark movies) and are high on predictability and low on tension.Along with the very pedestrian and stiffly choreographed action, with the sound quality constantly fading in and out(that for the explosions sounding like they were on mute), the scenes with the shark and dinosaurs are so haphazardly shot with countless continuity errors that they were not easy to make out at times, scenes that can only be possibly enjoyed if you like unintentional humour. I can do, but not in movies this ineptly made. The dialogue sounds awkward and improvisatory constantly with very little cohesion, with the actors not knowing what to say and how to say it. The story is a complete muddled mess with elements of Jaws, Predator and Jurassic Park but with none of the suspense, thrills or entertainment, often feeling like three or more different stories going on at once and like the movie didn't know what to do with itself. It is an incredibly dull story too, mostly due to the complete lack of elements to make a good creature feature but also how much repetition there is, another shark movie to have constant repetition was Shark in Venice but Jurassic Shark manages to make the continuity in that movie tolerable in comparison. The human characters are uninteresting and annoying, the villains being way over-used and lacking in menace(shameful considering that they have more screen time than the shark). The acting aside from the special effects is probably the worst thing about the movie, the villains are so over-the-top pantomimic that they feel like they belong in a different movie and the girls are attractive but very vapidly acted. But most of it is wooden and completely lacking in emotion with absolutely no chemistry between them, how are we supposed to care about them when they show a complete indifference to what's going on and to each other. All in all, an abomination on every level. 0/10 Bethany Cox

This movie begins with two young ladies named "Tiffany" (Sarah Mosher) and "Brittany" (Kala Gray) who are sunbathing on an island that they thought had been abandoned by an oil company. What they don't know is that this company has just found a new pocket of oil and in order to get to it they need to drill through an underwater ice cavern first. Although successful in that endeavor they unknowingly release a giant prehistoric shark called a megalodon into the nearby lake. So when the two sunbathers decide to frolic in the water they end up providing the shark with his first meal in over a million years. Not long afterward five burglars set out for the island in a boat carrying a valuable painting they just stole from a museum. Only three of them make it to the island. A little while later four college students also head to the island in their boat. The shark attacks it as well and only three manage to get there alive. However, when the three college students encounter the other group they soon realize that the shark isn't the only deadly thing they need to fear. Now, rather than reveal any more of the movie I will just say that this was clearly a low-budget production which lacked the refinements one might expect from a major film company. The acting, script and special effects were all pretty basic. But I liked the overall story and having several attractive women like Emanuelle Carriere (as "Jill"), Celine Filion ("Kristen") along with the aforementioned Sarah Mosher and Kala Gray certainly didn't hurt the scenery in any way. Even so, these few positive attributes were hardly enough to elevate this film into average territory and I feel obligated to rate this movie as honestly as possible. Below average.
