Jaws 19 was better.

Surprised they didn’t use the Bobby Darin song I would have expected: Mack the Knife! :-)

...Or maybe they wanted to and some focus grouped was appalled by the idea! :-D

If you like 100 foot CGI sharks. Sort of Jaws with less tension and a love triangle where the guy chooses the wrong woman in the end.

I wanted to see it. Unfortunately, I fell asleep during most of it.

"As the shark is gobbling up swimmers in the trailer".

The deviates in Hollywood really get off on blood, guts, savagery and violence. But say they hate violence it in real life. That seems a bit odd.

I recall some years ago some of the best science fictions produced had none of that or very little.

Anyway, back to your movie...

It’s a terrible movie but my 9 year old grandson loved it LOL! I found it silly but somewhat entertaining.

What I HATED HATED HATED about the movie was the fact that they cast Australia’s Robert Taylor as the ship’s doctor—criminal!!! Robert Taylor played the iconic Wyoming sheriff Walt Longmire in the outstanding AMC/Netflix series “Longmire.” He was perfectly cast, born to play the part of the sheriff. I can’t accept Robert Taylor playing a medical doctor in a silly shark movie.

Ok, I’m done ranting, I feel better now.

BTW, if you haven’t watched all six seasons of “Longmire,” you’re missing out. It’s a really good series.

I find the "Beyond the Seas" background music sort of weird

Haven't seen the movie, but I like this version of the song.

We took our twin boys last week. It wasn’t bad compared to some of the other movies we’ve recently seen, but it was missing the umph to make it a great movie. Maybe the fact that it is a pro communist-Chinese aligned movie, not an American movie kills it for me.

Maybe they got it mixed up with that other Bobby Darin song - "Oh the shark bites with its teeth babe, and it shows them pearly white".

I saw the movie during some down time between appointments when I was in the big city last week.

Movie about a giant, thought-to-be-extinct megalodon shark interacting with humans. As in, "We're going to need a bigger boat" mega shark. A little campy in parts which is okay.

One of those movies where the plot winds down and it looks like the end of the movie is coming. But you look at your watch and realize there is another hour left.

Because the shark keeps coming back.

Entertaining and fun but definitely a "B" grade movie.

‘Beyond the Sea” is the English version of Charles Trenet’s “La Mer”. Written in 1943, Trenet’s “La Mer” was used for lyrical effect in “Mr Bean’s Holliday” and ironically in the film version of “Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy”. I like the Trenet version best, but Maurice Chevalier is a close second. Trenet sings it softer and a bit sweeter, while Chevalier’s take on it is joyful. Trenet’s ‘Boum” was used as the eerie background music in “Skyfall” in the scene where Bond and Séverine land on that abandoned island.

Yes. “Meh” not “Meg.”

But I saw “Mile 22” yesterday. Aside from the constant cursing and Peter Berg’s ridiculous split second, camera-jiggling photography of the fight scenes,it’s pretty good.

These directors just don’t trust either their actors or the stuntmen to be entertaining. Sad.
