What starts off as a typical day on the streets of Seattle soon becomes a terrifying bloodbath, when a great white shark devours an alien space probe…and ROBOSHARK is born. The U.S. military comes after it with guns blazing, but it’s the power of social media that puts an ambitious newscaster and her tech-savvy daughter ahead of everyone else in the race to stop the destruction.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Roboshark is a comedy horror film in 2015. It tells the story of a shark that accidentally eats a stone from outer space, it turns out to belong to an alien from another planet, it turns into a roboshark, in another place a woman who works as a reporter, helped by a daughter and the cameraman, they started hunting roboshark. This movie is ridiculous, weird, and has a lot of very annoying characters plus very bad acting ... Making this movie really bad.

The good news is that of the SyFy shark movies, Roboshark is one of the better ones, and among the more tolerable SyFy outings. The not so good news is that that doesn't stop Roboshark from not being particularly good or great.Roboshark is one of SyFy's least amateurish-looking movies, with nice scenery, slicker-than-usual photography and a design for the Roboshark that has some menace and is one of SyFy's cooler- and- less-cheap- looking. The Roboshark is also well-utilised and unlike a lot of SyFy creatures has a personality, a threatening one rather than being too goofy that it brings unintentional humour. The movie clearly knows what it's trying to be and which audience it's aiming for, and in the process doesn't try to do too much while not playing it too safe either, and contains some clever inside jokes and hilarious one-liners. There are also fun performances from Laura Dale and particularly Nigel Barber, the only ones in the cast who show that they can still have fun without overacting, as well as some spirited and confident direction.On the other hand, the rest of the cast wildly overact and in the case of the extras and Matt Rippy to an embarrassing degree, something that really hurts the tension. The characters are barely developed and some are annoying, which makes them difficult to root for, the movie drags a little in the exposition moments and some of the more dramatic parts veer on turgid and ham-fisted. The story is well-intentioned and clearly knows what its aim and audience is, but the silliness gets very over-the-top sometimes that it gets ridiculous (like with the bacon) which gets in the way of generating suspense or tension, and it gets tiring towards the end. Aside from a catchy opening, the movie is generically scored too with not an awful lot standing out as memorable, and while the opening is fun and quite scary the climax of the movie is predictable and rushed..All in all, not great but one of the better and more tolerable SyFy shark movies. A decent guilty pleasure-type movie if you will. 5/10 Bethany Cox

From the thundering opening scenes to the shattering climax staged incredibly on the Space Needle, this will grab you and not let go. Brilliantly clever and delightfully self-aware SyFy production that is nothing less than breathlessly exciting and uproariously funny. The hilarity is as non-stop as the thrills when a shark bites into an alien entity and becomes the expression the alien itself. Taking on the essential being of the alien, roboshark emerges and threatens to destroy Seattle. A superb script and inspired direction makes this one of the SyFy channel's most spectacular "creature features." Surprises abound and none will be spoiled here (but a fabulous performance by Steve Sires as a famous personality is utterly stunning.) Nigel Barber will have audiences on the floor in the role of The Admiral. The special effects are the usual SyFy brand of awful but are absolutely perfect for this particular exercise in satire and offbeat humor. It's hard to believe that Sharknado achieved cult status when something this wonderful seems to have been missed! Do not miss the ending sequence on the Space Needle itself!
