What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
View Moreit is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
View MoreA lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

View MoreGifted director Emile Edwin Smith keeps the suspense high and the thrills intense in this superb science fiction film set in exotic Australian locales. The screenplay by H. Perry Horton is intelligent and sharp witted, pulling no punches as it questions the wisdom of modern science while confronting humanity's misguided efforts to control the earthly environment. The special effects are quite good indeed and some of the sweeping vistas of vast destruction are unrelentingly haunting. There are several moments when the graphic violence and mayhem is overwhelming and it becomes necessary to look away from what is horrifically depicted on screen. A superb cast brings depth and realism to their characters, with Elizabeth Rohm especially good as a woman fighting to save her family as well as mankind. The shattering climax, with helicopters and explosions that recall the iconic, surrealistic impact of Apocalypse Now, is simply unforgettable.
View MoreI recorded this movie on my DVR. The preview looked interesting but two minutes in was ready to stop it and delete it. The story line had potential. The Special effects where OK, but they could have been better. This reminded me of an older movie Godzilla vs Mecha Godzilla which had better special effects slightly better acting, and was more believable. Now the one part of the movie that did not make any real sense was why did the female character fly off to see another female character to tell her about where the Mega Shark was going to be? A text message or email could have done the same! DUH! Now another thing that made me want to stop watching this epic failure was the interracial marriage I can tell the main stream media must have been involved in the story line. Also the actors did not sell me that they where a married couple too forced! So for the most part a really waste of time to watch this movie! The only good thing was it was recorded so I could at least fast forward through the commercials and limit the agony!
View More'Mega Shark vs. Mecha Shark' is a monster/disaster film directed by Emile Edwin Smith and released straight to DVD in early 2014. The film is the third instalment of the 'Mega Shark Trilogy', successor to 'Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus' and 'Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus'. The film stars Christopher Judge and Elisabeth Röhm, with Debbie Gibson reprising her role as Emma MacNeil from the first film.Following a similar plot to its predecessors, our protagonists are confronted by a bloodthirsty megalodon intent on causing havoc off the coast of Australia, and are left side-lined as their own creation designed to destroy the shark – a robot called Mecha Shark – begins an autonomous unforeseen attack following a communication failure. Following an encouraging opening, the film quickly delves into the series' formula of unoriginal and repetitive set pieces attempting to subdue the creatures, whilst an implausible romance blooms. The narrative of films like 'Mega Shark vs. Mecha Shark' demands the lowest of expectations from audiences, and whilst the film surpasses these nethermost expectations, it sadly offers little to even be classed in the 'so bad it's good' category.Performances across the board are satisfactory, but there is a gargantuan non-existence of wit and tongue-in-cheek moments which begs the question why a film entitled 'Mega Shark vs. Mecha Shark' is taking itself so earnestly. Undeniably the film offers brief moments of gratification – a shark destroying the head of an Egyptian sphinx can only be a good thing. On majority though the film feels stale and, considering the film's title, it would have been beneficial to give much more screen time to the clash between the Mega Shark and the Mecha Shark. 'Mega Shark vs. Mecha Shark' is a formulaic and uninspired film which begs for, believe it not, more destruction and mayhem. Not totally without merit, the film isn't the lowest of the low of its genre, but is certainly does not amaze or thrill.
