Malibu Shark Attack (2009 TV Movie)
1/10
Fantastic Disaster...A True Waste of Film, Money, and Resources!
30 July 2016
This is by far one of the worst things I've ever witnessed that's called a movie. SyFy makes some bad stuff, but this is the (sour) cream of their crop. The writing is just awful; the worst yet. The characters' acting is blatantly forced and fake. And of course, as in all of SyFy's films, there is some egregious use of sex in the form of half-nude women, who have no reason to be so scantily clad. These girls have no place in these films other than to keep your eyes fixed to the screen for another moment. I enjoy seeing beautiful women, but not in this way; it's disgusting and sad.

As for the sharks themselves, they've gone wild on this idea that Goblin Sharks--which are real sharks which live very deep in the real ocean-- are these enormous human-eating predatory fish which roar like lions. This is at least the third or fourth SyFy shark-film I've seen now in which the sharks roar like lions. Sharks don't have vocal chords, so they can't make noises like that. Even giving them the license of this being a creative science-fiction film, it still doesn't fit. None of it does. To make things especially worse and adding insult to injury (on the audience's part), the CGI sharks are just awful-looking; not believable, scary, or anything bordering on entertaining in the least bit. The sharks move so unnaturally, and look as if they were put together on a lazy afternoon by someone who was just learning the ropes on how to make computer-generated images.

This film is just terrible. It's not even one of those type of movies that's so bad it's funny type of affairs. This is everything that's wrong with TV & film these days wrapped into a 90ish minute package. Avoid this crap like the plague!
