Ratings and reviews

2 and a half out of 5. One of the best bad movies ever it seemed. It has a plethora of bad acting and for some reason I think they kept it so if you don't have 3D glasses it looks strange. It ends up as strange this film. However there is a victim shown of a shark attack that is so disturbing looking its been drilled in my head. There is the suspense of when the mother shark comes to the park. But in the end it does quite hold up like 1 and 2. One shark attack scene seems so lazy. That is J3!

This movie genuinely makes me sad on so many levels. There was so much potential for the movie to be creative with its setting, and there was so much horrifying potential for the 3-D factor of the movie, but nothing works.There's barely any redeeming factors in this movie along with Cookie-cutter characters that feel SO shoehorned in because Universal had NO PLAN FOR THIS MOVIE OR ANY OF THE SEQUELS AT ALL. In short, just awful everything, and this is in the same series as JAWS?! Bruh

This movie is so bad from a production quality standpoint. However, the cheesiness and schlock factors make this movie worth watching. Am I partial to the fact that Lou Gossett, Jr. has a bit part in it? You can bet the Navy fleet on it! I also like the fact that the movie takes place at a Sea World type of nature park. At the very least, I personally recommend renting this film.
