Jack Perez (directing as Ace Hannah) does exceptional work in bringing the 'what if" scenario of a giant shark and a monstrous Octopus threatening the West Coast of the United States of America. Lorenzo Lamas and Debbie Gibson both give superb performances as two people dedicated to saving a lifestyle and people they hold dear from certain annihilation. Excellent special effects and some stunning set piece sequences make for a plausible and intelligent science fiction situation that challenges the audience members to ask themselves, "What would I do?" Spectacular, thrilling, and surprising in its focus upon the personal human stories, this motion picture serves as well as a terrific salute to the U.S. Navy and the dangers it faces in keeping our country free. The rousing, shattering climax will have everyone on their feet cheering as their eyes fill with tears.

Now traditionally, B movies are supposed to be "so bad, they're good," where you watch them to have fun with how bad they are, and have a good laugh out of it. But, no, this movie is so bad, it's bad. Instead of having a good time with how bad it is and having a big laugh here and there, instead, you'll just cringe and groan at the terrible cheapness and laziness this movie has. The writing is ungodly bad, the acting is high school play-level, and the effects...let me put it in terms that you would understand: remember those fake-looking sharks from Jaws 3-4? Well, they're gonna look real when you see how fake looking the shark is in this movie! Seriously! They even look more fake than the sharks from Sharknado! And THAT's saying a lot! I wasn't surprised when I found out this film's budget was only $1,000. Not to mention that there were a lot of scenes that were lazily reused from other Asylum films that I recognized, being 30,000 Leagues Under The Sea. Take my word for it, if you want to watch a good B-Movie just to have a blast with, please, take my word for it, you will most definitely want to skip this one. It's not worth it.

I watched this movie the other night and I can say that I was entertained through most of the movie. I mean, a giant shark jumps out of the water and eats a jumbo jet. AWESOME! This shark is a monster that needs to be reckoned with. It can swim at over 500 knots, only slightly slower than the submarine it was chasing. What more could you ask for than an action packed monster movie like this. Although the production values were low, for instance you could hardly hear what was going on most of the time and it was difficult to determine what was going on. This Asylum film is better than some of the other Asylum films I have seen, it is actually so bad it was funny at times, unlike their movie The Apocalypse, which in my opinion is the worst movie ever.If you want to see a mega shark jump 30,000 feet in the air and eat a jumbo jet, or just a few laughs at how ridiculous this movie is, this is the movie for you. In my opinion the jumbo jet scene was worth the $3 I spent on renting it.

I gave this film 1 out of 10, because... many people who did reviews say "why can't I give it a zero?" and I'm asking myself... why can't I give it a minus? Because this film deserves - 10! It is extremely dumb and outrageous. The director Jack Perez is obviously an idiot, or someone who likes to irritate people. Who the hell finance this... asylum production, these guys needs to leave this planet. Please... you're making movies that are supposed to be serious... but they are not! It's a fuc**ng comedy! Somebody destroy these asylum guys. Seriously! Now, the story begins with big ice glacier with big megalodon (the shark) and giant octopus inside. The glacier brakes and the two giant entities starts running around eating and destroying everything in their path. Like shark for example jumps of out water and grabs a large airplane... dear me... So, federals grabs three scientists (who are perfectly skilled in mixing some colored liquids) to find a solution how to stop these giant things. The acting is incredibly horrible, the story is marvelously dumb, script, music score, editing, camera work... bad bad bad. To mention that CGI... wow... I can't find the words for it... like in a old video game. The scenes in which military submarines are fighting giant shark are just ridiculous! The submarine commanders are staring in some big spot on the wall just to keep their focus and to flow away somewhere else... perhaps on some pictures of naked chicks on the nearby wall? And that flash effect? Argh! That was terrible! The acting crew? Jezz... where is Bill Hicks... when you need him?! To say something funny and seriously true about this piece of art. Debbie Gibson? You gotta be kidding me? This girl doesn't know what acting is. Her music career failed on the beginning of the 90s, and her hit "Shake your Love" was not hit at all, that song sucks. As Bill Hicks said "put her back in the mall that created her!" I agree on that. We can easily say that this anorexic bit*h is a failure for the rest of her life. Lorenzo Lamas? OK, this guy needs to stick with his martial arts, action films, this was not his terrain, trying to play a rude a-hole federal guy. And as I recall this guy never had a serious role, or performance in his career. Vic Chao (the Japanese scientist), the funny looking guy, who was there to show that he is the, in a way and ultimate threat to shark and octopus, because Japanese are known for their merciless hunt for every living underwater animal... and just to be there as a romantic lead to Debbie Gibson. Jesus, man... that was the most funniest sad story ever, poor dolphin... Oh, he's so sensitive... Debbie's character is a scientist slut if you ask me. But, this Japanese funny guy... he is just funny. And there's Lamar (played by Sean Lawlor, who died the same year the movie was released, I bet he died of heart attack when he saw on what kind of movie he worked on...) he sounded more Scottish that Irish.Now, I suggest that you watch this film only with friends... and before that, get high, get drunk... drug yourself... It makes film better.
