Megalodon sharks, in real world history, grew up to 59 feet long, and their teeth had a diagonal length of roughly 7 inches (as opposed to the 11 FEET stated by the "expert" in the movie). Taking into account the actual megalodon fossils we have and cross-referencing them with the 11-foot tooth they claim to have found in the movie, a simple math ratio gives us a 1,112.5-foot shark. That's almost 4 football fields long.
A commercial airliner flying over the ocean would cruise somewhere between 25,000 and 40,000 feet. The minimum altitude is 2,000 above sea level when flying over sea, and (duh) no fish can jump that high out of water. The shark is simply far too massive to hurl itself 2,000 feet up out of the water into the air. By massive, I mean that the historical megalodon of the real world is estimated to weigh 70 metric tons or 77 short tons. You can extrapolate that for the sci-fi monster yourself ;)
Even with temporary suspension of disbelief, the shark would be fatally injured once it hit the water on the return fall. But I digress. I would comment on the giant octopus, but it'd be a waste of time. You get my point. This is just garbage.
So crappy science aside, the movie plain sucked (understatement). Wooden acting, an Irish accent that's about as steady as the stock market, no character development, people behaving in ways that just would not happen in real life, repeating undersea stock footage... except of course when you wanted some footage of the mighty monsters for which this movie was titled.
And Lorenzo Lamas showed up to say "sharkzilla". That's just terrific.
Don't waste your time. I repeat: SAVE YOURSELF! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!
