Watch Shark Week For Free

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

That's my entire review, although I am required to type more, or they won't post my review.After watching a series of really good movies lately (Cafe Society, Don't Breathe, Hell Or High Water, among a few others) I apparently felt compelled to torture myself, and watched this, one of the worst films I've seen this year. This is nearly unwatchable, a poor combination/ ripoff of shark attack flicks, and torture flicks.The opening title sequence is rushed through in less than 30 seconds, before we are taken on a lengthy, choppy tour of the greater LA area, as a number of people are kidnapped, and taken to some fruitcake's home. They are on a remote island, and they must fight their way through a variety of shark-related traps if they wish to live. They must also realise the chains they are bound in are obviously so loose they are almost falling off.It turns out this group is responsible for their captor's son's death, and, one by one he kills them, in retaliation. Spoiler alert, I guess. There are so many logic loopholes in the derivative screenplay, that the entire ordeal makes little sense, the effects never even rise to the levels of "so bad it's good", this film is so awful that I can barely even compose my thoughts right now.

Another entry by The Asylum so you all know what that means, trash. But I gave it a go due the director (Christopher Ray) being the son of Fred Olen Ray. Maybe that should ring a bell too, Fred's flicks aren't that great too but it has it followers. Still, you know that the Asylum do uses a lot of CGI and not the kind that will win an Oscar.The story itself doesn't make any sense and the acting is far below zero. Just look at the opening sequence. A shark in a swimming pool, really, the pool isn't that big at all but still the shark looks big. From there on it's a bit of a Saw story. try to survive a battle with all kind of sharks. All CGI and sometimes it's okay but most of it all it looks ridiculous. There's no blood to mention. Oh sure, the sharks do bite but the fight between humans and sharks isn't believable at all. A lot of clichés all over the flick, but no suspense at all or even horror. Clocking in at 90 minutes it surely felt like a week, a shark week;Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Coledy 0/5

For The Asylum, Shark Week is not their worst or quite awful enough to be one of them. That doesn't stop it though from being a complete failure in every area, and that's even when you know what to expect. Some of the locations are nice and exotic but others also look as though they were shot in a run-down warehouse or basement. That cheap look is made even worse by the choppy editing and terrible special effects. If you've seen the quality of the sharks in other Asylum or SyFy movies that are similar, it's pretty much the same in Shark Week, the sharks are so cheaply rendered and not only don't look real but they don't look natural in their surroundings. They also don't have any personality either, which severely dilutes any terror or tension, the actors don't even look all that terrified when really the situation would be scary for anybody. The music is at a very sluggish tempo especially in the scenes containing action, the scoring of the build-ups to the attacks is predictable. The dialogue has always been one of the weakest aspects of an Asylum movie, and there is no change here as this is very cheesy and stilted scripting. And you don't connect with any of the characters, as with everything else Shark Week doesn't give time to develop them or you the time to properly root for them. The story just doesn't seem to have any life, Shark Week is very poorly paced throughout, the action shows the worst of the editing and lifeless choreography and the shark attacks suffer from a complete lack of tension and visual cheapness, if you're expecting to be afraid of going into seas now you won't get that vibe. It also seemed rather tame, you'd expect a crossover of Saw and Jaws to have a similar impact to those movies but here it feels like Saw but without the harrowing violence and Jaws without the eerie nail-biting suspense. The acting is very bad too, Patrick Bergin and Yancy Butler are far too over-the-top and don't make any effort to reign in and give their characters depth or any quality that makes you connect with them. While the acting of victims are wooden with nobody seeming to properly care about whether they lived or died. Overall, dull, cheap and not much fun at all, more avoided than recommended. 1/10 Bethany Cox

During the opening credits, a muscular man appears in chains. The key to escape is thrown into a swimming pool by cigar-smoking Patrick Bergin (as Tiburon). Unfortunately, there is also a shark in the pool. Next we see people abducted in Los Angeles, Malibu, Echo Park, Culver City, Venice Beach and Long Beach. The abductor is Mr. Bergin. He has eight victims to throw into his shark-infested swimming pool. If they escape, there is another test. Each test involves more vicious sharks. This is a tame swipe of the mega-violent "Saw" film series. Bergin's criminal partner is mini-skirted Yancy Butler (as Elena). They hold each other up and blink their eyes very slowly, like they've just seen this flicker across the screen.** Shark Week (8/4/12) Christopher Ray ~ Patrick Bergin, Yancy Butler, Erin Coker, Josh Allen
