Good start, but then it gets ruined
... View MoreBoring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
... View MoreOk... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
... View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View MoreThe Three Acts:The initial tableaux: A UFO targets Earth and send a probe into the Pacific Ocean. Next, we see a shark gulping the probe whole. The shark takes out a USN nuclear submarine with 168 personnel.The US Navy decides to make its stand in Seattle. Weatherwoman Trish, husband Rick (who works the city's water/sewer system), and daughter Melody prepare for a 'normal' day, but it is not to be. Trish sees the shark take out a coffee stand, and Rick monitors multiple problems in the sewer system. Later Melody swings back into the scene to help Trish and Louie.Delineation of conflicts: Roboshark seems intent on damaging Seattle. Admiral Black wants this threat to national security dealt with by whatever means necessary. Trish wants a big story so she can get a promotion. Melody wants to help her mother using her Internet savvy. The parents want Melody to go to safety.Resolution: Will anyone of the central characters figure out the intentions of the Roboshark? If so can they communicate successfully before Seattle is destroyed or the Navy uses tactical nukes on Roboshark?
... View MoreNaturally the title of this movie indicates exactly what you will be in for; another one of those low budget and very off key Sci-Fi movies that just raises so many questions. The main question is why did this even get turned into an actual movie.The storyline is about a shark that bites into an UFO vessel, and it is transformed into a robotic killer shark. Unstoppable both physically and in its hunger, Roboshark goes on a killing frenzy which makes both land and waters unsafe.Right, well there was no plausible direction to the storyline, especially given the circumstances of how ludicrous it was. But still, it is one of those bad Sci-Fi movies that you just have to watch because it is so bad.The effects in "Roboshark" were hilarious. And by hilarious I mean that they were so poor and bad that it was actually fun to witness. And it still amazes me that it is possible to make movies now a days with effects so poor.As for the acting in the movie, well it was pretty much as to be expected. It is one of those questionable Sci-Fi movies after all, so you know what you are in for prior to sitting down and watching "Roboshark".While there are a heap of movies like this, and some are actually enjoyable because they are so campy and cheesy, then "Roboshark" didn't fall into that category. "Roboshark" wasn't really worth spending an hour and thirty minutes on.My final rating for "Roboshark" sinks to a mere two out of ten stars. If you enjoy these types of campy monster flicks, low budget Sci-Fi movies, then there are far better choices out there.
... View MoreThis is one of those that is ridiculously bad enough to be good. Not award earning caliber, but good enough for fun. More smiles than groans anyway. A monster Great White shark happens to eat a chunk of a UFO that falls in the Pacific. Immediately this giant flipper becomes a Roboshark, that by circumstance bumps into an investigative submarine. This makes for an unhappy shark that buzz saws through the Nuclear Sub with its metal teeth. Roboshark goes on the move and prepares for a battle with the US Navy at Seattle's Space Needle.Let some decent special effects make up for the acting and poor dialogue. In the cast: Matt Rippy, Alexis Peterman, Vanessa Grasse, Nigel Barber, Kicker Robinson and Laura Dale.
... View MoreFrom 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!
