Review Time: this project is mixed.
Fundamental elements: there are words
and numbers on screen, cultural elements, background music, yes and no to
subtitles being used when another language is being used, slow-motion effects,
time jumps and place jumps.
Action sequences/Artistic visions: the action sequences are based around dealing with this colossal
shark [I know this is obvious based on the storyline of this title and if you
have seen the front cover of the DVD or Blu-Ray it implies what I have just
said.] What can I say about them; generally speaking they are interesting and
well put together, moving on to the artistic visions the underwater sequences
before the chaos begins as in looking around this location or locations looks
tranquil and engaging, later on in this title the viewers get these birds-eye perspective
of how big this creature is underwater these are good as well.
Comedy level: now yes there are comedy
elements in this title, in fairness yes they are interesting [I don't think I
found anything funny,] but I can identify that there is a comedy level elements
at different points in this project. There is a good reason why I am telling
you all of this and is to make this point; I think this project struggles with
its identity, which basically means if you want to be sensible then be sensible
if you want to be funny then be funny, but it tries to do both and this would
be the ending result.
Character development/Performances: now just in case you were getting confused from my previous paragraph
where I said the words "they are interesting" I would like to now
explore this a little bit more by saying it assists with the character
developments/chemistry of these characters at different points in this title [I
know it sounds a little bit confusing, it is one of those occasions where you
will have to watch this title to really understand what I am talking about,]
but having said that what I noticed about these character developments on top
of everything else is this; there seems to be a lack of respect for this
creature, the kind of respect that says "Okay we have no idea what this
creature can do so let's show it some respect by thinking what we have at our
disposal isn't going to be strong enough to do anything, be it protection for
us or to kill it or anything in between." Now moving on to the performances
generally speaking they are mixed.
This film receives: 4/10, it has
enough about it to get given this mark but if this title was in mind to compete
with the legendary Jaws 1975 film how can I put this nicely Jaws would eat this
film alive easily and efficiently within about 5 seconds without much of a
struggle and with plenty of space to keep eating. On a side note when this
review was dictated it was only about a day since I have seen this title and I
don't think it is going to say in my memory for too long.]
