Roboshark Trailers

What starts off as a typical day on the streets of Seattle soon becomes a terrifying bloodbath, when a great white shark devours an alien space probe…and ROBOSHARK is born. The U.S. military comes after it with guns blazing, but it’s the power of social media that puts an ambitious newscaster and her tech-savvy daughter ahead of everyone else in the race to stop the destruction.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Leofwine_draca ROBOSHARK is a particularly stupid monster flick from the SyFy Channel, with a premise so idiotic that the director has no choice but to make this an all-out comedy. Unfortunately, it's completely unfunny, so much so that it's difficult to sit through. A shark eats a UFO (!) and transforms into the titular menace while the military run around and try to figure out a way to stop it. The whole film is full of mannered, over the top line delivery and the dialogue really is the pits, trying to be hip with modern society references and even a little self-referencing but failing in the attempt. Needless to say, the CGI effects are among the worst you'll see.
Michael_Elliott Roboshark (2015) * (out of 4) A UFO drops an object into the ocean, which is eaten by a great white shark. Soon the shark turns into the title creature and goes on a killing spree in Seattle, Washington.ROBOSHARK thinks it's a lot better than the countless other killer/mutant shark movies that have been shown on SyFy or gone straight to the Redbox. This one here likes to think its in on the joke and the dialogue here has a lot of so-called wit throwing jokes at SyFy and other shark movies. The problem is that this film is just downright annoying from start to finish and it doesn't contain a single spark of energy.There are a lot of issues with this film but we can start with the main story, which has a reporter, her cameraman and her daughter running around constantly trying to get the scoop on the shark. This here leads to a social media storm and several fights with another reporter trying to get the same stuff. All of this was rather annoying and it certainly didn't make you want to like the characters. This is meant for some tongue in cheek action so I won't bash the film for not being scary or anything like that.The performances, for the most part, are decent enough but we're really not here for that, are we? The death scenes are all bland and bloodless and I'd argue that the CGI shark looks okay considering what this movie is. Still, ROBOSHARK is just a flat out boring movie that can be skipped.
Diane Ruth From the thundering opening scenes to the shattering climax staged incredibly on the Space Needle, this will grab you and not let go. Brilliantly clever and delightfully self-aware SyFy production that is nothing less than breathlessly exciting and uproariously funny. The hilarity is as non-stop as the thrills when a shark bites into an alien entity and becomes the expression the alien itself. Taking on the essential being of the alien, roboshark emerges and threatens to destroy Seattle. A superb script and inspired direction makes this one of the SyFy channel's most spectacular "creature features." Surprises abound and none will be spoiled here (but a fabulous performance by Steve Sires as a famous personality is utterly stunning.) Nigel Barber will have audiences on the floor in the role of The Admiral. The special effects are the usual SyFy brand of awful but are absolutely perfect for this particular exercise in satire and offbeat humor. It's hard to believe that Sharknado achieved cult status when something this wonderful seems to have been missed! Do not miss the ending sequence on the Space Needle itself!
