Roboshark

Let me go over to 5 points which is acting, CGI, camera work, editing and the ending Acting: it's so awkward it feels like they never spoke and this is the first time they actually speak to a human being. It actually makes The Room look like God's gift tbh Camera work: this is the best thing about the movie but it still falls flat. Some positions are so akward. Or maybe not it's been a while since I've seen this movie that I know is bloody terrible Editing: what the actual hell. The movie looks like a low budget Micheal Bay movie. Constant explosions, crazy "attack" scenes, always thinking America is the only country etc. CGI: holy Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor the CGI looks like sombody put 2 terrible things put together make it something beautiful then set it in a concentration camp and then drag it out beat it and voila that's the CGI in a nutshell it's actually hurting my eyes the shark looks so DUMB. Ending: so they defeat the "shark" and then when the overused kiss the lover something something. Yeah. So they walk away into the sunset. And this rich lady seen everything happen. Looks like she does not give a ***t and her Chiwawa is now possessed by the same virus on robo shark. Whaaaaaaaaaat?! We gonna wait for robo Chiwawa now?! Oh yeah that will be perfect! I quit

I'd seen the Jaws sequels, Sharknado, Mega Shark, The Meg, and the "Baby Shark" music video (annoyingly catchy). Well, then I found this bad shark movie, made for TV, to sink my teeth into. Basically, an alien ship comes into earth orbit to drop a probe. The probe lands in the ocean, only to be eaten by a Great White. The alien technology inside the probe transforms the shark into a mechanical alien robotic monster, it has now become Roboshark. After devouring a nuclear submarine and its crew nearby, Roboshark heads to Seattle to wreak havoc. Soon enough, the actions of Roboshark are being filmed and tweeted about all over the world. With the devastation going viral, reporter Trish (Alexis Peterman), who is usually a weather girl, along with her crew is urging to be first on the scene to capture and stop the destruction. Trish's cowardly husband Rick (Matt Rippy) is dragged into the chaos by Admiral Black (Nigel Barber), who is determined to stop Roboshark at any cost, even if it means destroying the city. But Trish and Rick's daughter Melody (Vanessa Grasse), an avid social media user, realises that Roboshark is active on social media, they use its communications to keep track of it. It all concludes at Seattle's most famous landmark, the Space Needle observation tower. In the end, the tower is almost destroyed, but Roboshark is defeated, and Trish, Melody and Rick are reunited, but the alien technology may still be present, as a little dog may have been transformed. Also starring Isaac Haig as Louie, Laura Dale as Veronica Viola, Vlado Mihailov as Erik, Derek Morse as Chief Xavier, Kicker Robinson as Commander Sumner and Steve Sires as Bill Glates (a spoof Bil Gates character). There's not much to say, the acting is naff, especially Rippy as the irritatingly over-the-top wimp, the story is absolutely ridiculous, and the special effects are excruciating, it may make you titter at how bad it is, but I wouldn't bother with it again, a terrible science-fiction comedy horror. Poor!

Wow this is one of the worst movies I've ever 'started' to watch! Couldn't get past the first 30 minutes. I thought Highlander 2 was bad but this movie tops it for bad/cheesy/corny acting, plot, and effects.

This is a very tongue-in-cheek B-movie which has a great deal of fun, often at it's own expense ("Mutant Shark? It sounds like one of those bad Sci-Fi movies"). It's very social media savvy which gives has a lot of funny lines "Roboshark is following me - no I mean he's following me on Twitter", and "I don't know if Roboshark is on Facebook". Acting is above average for a low-budget Sci-Fi movie. The music is appropriate throughout; light-hearted for much of the dialogue and comically over-dramatic when Roboshark attacks. Roboshark appears to be on a mission to destroy evil. He dines on Nuclear Subs, Oil Pipelines, Starbucks Baristas and Malls. Out to stop him is a totally OTT Navy Admiral (Nigel Barber) who gets most of the best lines - the disgust he puts into his opener "Seattle: Starbucks... Hipsters... Microsoft... Nirvana..." is wonderful. He also disses Bill Gates' Close-Encounters-esque communication with the alien-hippy-fish and generally acts like a douche. Rooting for Roboshark are Alexis Peterman as a would-be reporter (the wacky weather girl) and her media-savvy daughter played by Vanessa Grasse. There's a great montage mid-film as news of Roboshark spreads via Youtube and people across the world comment on the story. I particularly loved the guy on the yacht writing... "Part machine, part fish, all predator. He existed to serve her every desire. She trembled in anticipation just thinking of the next time they'd meet. What would he do?" Despite the sleek shark's far flung grin, and his pretty dorsal fin, his heart is nice and shiny within. Please... think of the sharks.

Sorry to say but it's just not worth your time! Bad acting, I thought I was looking at a comedy!

An absolute load of rubbish. My son's daycare has better actors.

I would feel genuinely sorry for the people involved in the making of this film if I didn't feel so much contempt for it's existence.

Very bad actors, as if no one in this has any experience at all. Very bad "jokes". They seem like they are supposed to be jokes but they are not funny. Very bad editing and lots of obvious mistakes. One guy tells a group in his office to take care of something. A few seconds later, he calls that same group and tells them to do the same thing again. Lots of lame dialog and bad references to other movies. Of the entire movie, there was really only one moment that I thought was even a little bit funny - and that was the way they did the effect on the strings of a guy's hoodie. Very bad special effects. I've seen many movies from the 1950's and 1960's with much better effects.

Right away I knew that when you cast, Nigel Barber (Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!) into any movie, you are shooting for another campy movie success. What SyFy does lately is push out this camp more than ever. What SyFy failed to remember is what really made "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! (1978)" successful... Elvia (Cassandra Peterson) who hosted the movie on her late night TV show back in the day. No one is going to sit and yuck it up at those movies without some late night horror host rifting on it. We watched the campy movies because of Elvira's "Movie Macabre", Joel Hodgson's "Mystery Science Theater 3000", Count Gore de Vol, or Karlos Borloff. This made the campy horror sci-fi movie watchable. SyFy needs STOP cranking out the camp. They use to have a lot better programming on in the late 1990s. Remember series like Farscape, The Invisible Man, Battlestar Galactica, Good vs. Evil, and Eureka? Their movies were also about space and fantasy. Every now and then SyFy network CEO comes along with a new bright idea and we get only the one flavor. The network has these bad phases. Let's do nothing but ghost busting reality TV! Oh great idea... This movie is the product of a company who thinks, if one campy shark movie is deemed a success, more will be a gold rush.
