Informazioni su questo film

Un sommergibile oceanico – parte di un programma internazionale di osservazione sottomarina – giace immobilizzato sul fondo della zona più profonda del Pacifico dopo essere stato attaccato da un enorme squalo considerato estinto. Con poco tempo a disposizione, l’esperto di salvataggi subacquei Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) viene reclutato da un oceanografo cinese (Winston Chao) per salvare l’equipaggio e l’oceano stesso dalla minaccia inarrestabile del Megalodonte, uno squalo preistorico di 23 metri. Tuttavia, nonostante lo scetticismo di tutti, Jonas aveva già affrontato in passato questa terrificante creatura. Ora Jonas dovrà mettere a repentaglio la sua vita per tornare negli abissi dell’oceano…e ritrovarsi faccia a faccia con il più grande predatore di tutti i tempi.

Valutazioni e recensioni

This was terrible. The book was semi ok, like 4 stars. Then china purchased the rights and messed it up. Apart from a dumb story line where everyone is far too intense rather than curious or concerned. Lighting was all bright and everyone was constantly clean. Movement of the camera is panning at all times. Just stand still for one minute. Such a lost opportunity to create something real. Jaws made a monster that had intent. This had no direction.

This is the textbook example of any tension in a movie being decimated by cookie-cutter characters and acting, and every single Shark scene in the movie is so hilariously awful. There's no fear, not only due to the jarring atmosphere that the movie envelopes, but every semblance of logic is thrown out of the window in favor of the movie equivalent of dangling keys in front of a toddler's face to constantly keep them entertained, and as an adaptation of the novel, this is absolutely dreadful.

This movie is one of the most poorly written movies I've ever seen. I can't even keep count of how many times I rolled my eyes. Everything was so predictable. They need him to save these people and OH it's your ex wife (last minute addition?). The childish "he likes her and she likes him" feels like some grade school drama. A scientist fries a firewall to bypass a power outage (what!?) and another hacks Dwight Schrute's location on the spot. The shark was cool though. Bad script.
