Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Amateur movie with Big budget

A Masterpiece!

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Ugh I wanted to rate this film less than a 1 but I can't. This is truly the worst film ripping off so many films such as Finding Nemo, Shark Tales and Karate Kid. This film is EXTREMELY cliché and I thought Osmosis Jones was cliché but looking back at it the story has an educational mix to it unlike this film where the plot is very boring. The animation and graphics are poor to say the least. Why even make a film about an annoying orange fish with an ignorant pink female fish (she's the worst character in this film because of her ignorance and her obnoxiousness) and a gross shark. I say it's a rip- off of Karate Kid because it's a plot where 'A protagonist finds a girl he likes but she is with the antagonist and he's coming to fight for her back', sounds familiar? Even Shrek 4 wasn't this bad. This film is unwatchable and I had to watch it twice to make sure I didn't make a stupid mistake but there was no doubt now. I know people will say there are worse films or say things like 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' or 'Battleship Earth' are the worst films but I have watched them and they are bad but tolerable. I can be cruel and go as far as saying that I would rather become friends with Jon Venables and Robert Thompson than to ever watch this torture device. I really hope Nemo comes and murders Pi and Cordellia.

I adore animation, I grew up on it, but I have seen some real stinkers. When it comes to computer animated films, at the top of my head, I can only think of Animals United and Doogal that are worse. Other than a couple of good frames in the haunted shipwreck sequence, The Reef(aka Sharkbait) is a mess.The animation/graphics are terrible lacking in originality and attention to detail, in fact some scenes look incomplete. The colours are plentiful but look flat in shade and the backgrounds look as though they were taken out of Finding Nemo and Shark Tale. Worse are the character designs which are incredibly forced and stiff.There is also some really poor writing as well, it is clichéd and lacking severely in humour and heart. The film is too short and has moments where it feels rushed or too pedestrian which further exposes the story for what it is. The story is also a major weak link, it is very thin and feels recycled of other (better) animated films. And even when it didn't feel like that, the level of unoriginality that is in this film is shocking.None of the characters I felt anything for, they were either bland or annoying. On paper, the vocal cast seemed tolerable, on film they sound bored and sound as though they are not connecting with the characters.Overall, as much as I love animation I really disliked this. 1/10 Bethany Cox

I've seen a lot of bad animation and this is the worst theatrically released animation I've ever seen.It's just hitting the pay-per-view scene in Canada and I beg you, don't rent this one. Obviously I fell prey to its "something to rent for the kids on a snowy night" marketing strategy.Animation: zero Sound quality all over the map: zero Dialogue (are you kidding me): zero Poster (a well done rip-off of the Finding Nemo design): 1 out of 10I only log into IMDb to comment maybe three times a year and this is my first of 2008. It's that important that this film dies a quick death.

A little fish moves to a shallow reef. When he gets there he finds a lot of new friends and one common enemy: a nasty tempered shark. Determined to win the heart of a girl, he decides to do something about the shark.Animation films for children always have one thing in common: very happy and brilliant color schemes. It worked for this one. The insane amounts of different fish and the things they did worked wonders on my nephew. Personally I can't say I was really thrilled by this film although it really isn't half bad. Most scenery was worked out rather nicely and the story was pretty much OK.Not great, not grand, but good enough for a bored Sunday afternoon and watchable with young kids as there isn't too much heavy action in it.6 out of 10 fish about to be sushi'd
