Warren Christie in this?? what the hell? I recognized him from other better stuff since then but his being in this was a surprise (Musta been a low point of low points in his career!)In fact I'd say the the only real surprise.. it's a horrid cheap pathetic "made for TV" pile of crap that some one got suckered into forking over $ to make.I've seen better acting and production quality from a HS play! The premise is beyond absurd right off the bat.. special effects are barely better than the acting skill.. or lack thereof The other reviewer saying 20 min was all he could stand (or she? doesn't matter).. I again got stuck with this sadly being the best thing on one day while on devil child duty.. it was this crap or garbage like "house wives of cardsashians or whatever pathetic mind numbingly stupid crap they are coming up with of that sort.. you know what I mean I'm sure.) Well this was so bad it was a serious question of leaving it on this crap or channel flipping to horrible fake "reality TV".. this movie won.. if anything can be called a winner in this case at all. it sure as hell was not a win for me.Anyhow.. absurd premise + pathetic acting + dare we say direction of some sort.. + somehow managing to waste a budget of 3 MILLION... wait a min.. 3 MILLION??? What in hell did they spend 3 MILLION on with this crap?? Seriously.. more like budget of 3 million.. spent 100K on the production total.. pocketed 2.9 MILLION and used the entire thing as a giant tax write off.. and while we do a lot of good productions in Canada this is not one of them.. but I guarantee someone used tax credits here for the making of this horrible garbage.Skip it.. don't waste your time.. save yourself the mental scarring that is inevitable for those whom watch this!!!! Even Plan 9 from outer space is Oscar worthy in comparison to this crap and sadly several other "things" (calling them movies is an insult to what a movie can actually be) I've been subjected to recently (see my other reviews as warning to save yourselves from such torture!!)

I do get some novelty value out of SyFy's mostly terrible movies. That said, I found Malibu Shark Attack overall too dull and too ridiculous to really be entertained by it. The sharks are the best part of the movie, they don't look great and the way they're utilised gets stale after a while but they do show some menace and compared to the rest of the characters they are relateable. That is because the rest of the characters are stereotypical, made to do stupid and annoying things and not developed well at all. The acting manages to be awful as well, the lead actor is stiff and uncharismatic and the female's damsel-in-distress routine has been seen so many times before and much better, here she has this all looks, no talent aura about her. Malibu Shark Attack looks very cheap, the shark effects are not great at all, some of their features actually makes you wonder whether they are actually sharks, and the editing is choppy so you can enjoy the scenery enough. But these are nothing compared to the effects for the tsunami, I concur about them being one of the, perhaps even THE, least convincing tsunami effects in film, looking as though they were constructed in a major rush. The script is very weak with cheesy one-liners, cringe-worthy dialogue in the exposition scenes and context about the sharks that will make experts exclaim "NO" with their exasperated hands in the air. The story likewise, there are the "obligatory" ridiculous scenes like the tsunami and waves magically vanishing, the shark attacks lacking any sense of horror or suspense(and further suffering from some of the film's worst editing) and the exposition little more with padded filler with dull pacing, clichéd dialogue and characters that prove themselves not to be likable in the least. On the whole, see it somewhat for the sharks but for nothing else. 1/10 Bethany Cox

...Looking men in this movie! It is amazing how good looking some of them are. Despite the poor acting, lousy special effects and completely dumb plot (even for a B Movie...) how it all seems to melt away looking at all the gorgeous looking male hunks in this movie. We find ourselves here at home watching this movie over and over, always rooting for the hunky & handsome pieces of prime beef that dash across our office flat screen TV - the water droplets gleaming on their tanned and muscular torso's is more than enough to keep our attention! Never heard of any of their names, although the girls in the movie are familiar (Go Peta!) The sheer amount of handsome male goodness is almost overwhelming. Man, Remi Broadway can take a chainsaw to my prehistoric shark ANYTIME! Warren Christie needs to move into our spare bedroom for sure. The movie is horrible, but the alpha man-candy is so sweet. 10 Out Of 10 For Actors

SyFy Channel presents a hapless shark flick with some actual moments of gore(not enough). An underwater earthquake causes a badly animated tsunami to roar into Malibu beach with rare prehistoric goblin shark hungry for anything moving. Don't take the people to the sharks, but bring the sharks to the people. Buff and tanned surfers and swimmers are appetite pleasing; but then construction workers also give CGI sharp teeth monsters something to chomp on. Jaggedly torn missing limbs and bloody beaches go along with the typical fright and mayhem of a shark attack. Peta Wilson is part of a no frills cast featuring: Jeff Gannon, Sonya Salomaa, Mungo McKay, Evert McQueen and Renee Brown.
