Shark Attack 3: Megalodon Audience Reviews

Alicia I love this movie so much
Steineded How sad is this?
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Tom Shanks Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time a boy called Rhys Mogg was listening to Cannibal Corpse to help him go to sleep after a long day farting. He looked into his toilet a saw a great big poop. Out of the blue, Blaze Bayley came along and said 'OC vomit or shotgun' and lots of gummy bears came out of the skylight and consumed him.This movie reminded me of this story. It shows the horror of being consumed alive and is an inspiration to anyone who has ever been digested. The special effects are so well done that I started crying. I do not cry easily, the last time I cried was when my mother had me aborted. The acting is so realistic that I though it was a real story and was shocked to find that it is fact not a documentary, or say my friend told me. I sacrificed a baby to the great lord Satan to find if my friend was speaking the truth, and to my dismay I found out that there are indeed actors in this movie. If you ever have a chance to see this movie, I would highly recommend it as it is a modern classic and a masterpiece, up with the greats like 'The Hero of Colour City' and 'Spy Kids 4'. This is a great movie for kids who love such films like 'A Serbian Film' Just don't forget to look out for Blaze Bayley as I heard he is now shoving bran flakes into peoples eyes. A bit violent if you ask me.
eefulmer-60-238275 Christopher Nolan's 2010 film 'Inception' received nearly unanimous critical praise for its "groundbreaking" conceit that took the characters through multiple layers of dream states. It is perhaps the greatest travesty in cinematic history that David Worth's "Shark Attack 3: Mega Inception" (incorrectly printed on some discs as "Shark Attack 3: Megalodon") not only delved into the same conceptual waters nearly a decade prior, but trumped Nolan's pedestrian approach to the concept. Worth's film is far more audacious and effective than Nolan's cheap rip-off in two key ways. First, it dispenses with the tedious exposition of explaining the multiple dream layer conceit and instead plunges the viewer directly into the dream worlds. Second, instead of offering a mere four "levels" of nested dream states, SA3:MI has perhaps dozens of dream "levels" that challenge the viewer to unravel their depth on our own. I believe it is precisely these two reasons that some unsophisticated movie goers simply didn't 'get' Worth's powerful achievement and tried to experience this surreal masterpiece as a single narrative taking place in a single reality. It seems impossible to believe that any attentive viewer could miss the myriad techniques Worth employs to literally and figuratively shout his message that his characters are dreaming, and are (perhaps) themselves a manifestation of another's dream: the titular shark changing in size from scene to scene and even shot to shot; the brazen use of stock footage mixed with Worth's; repeated interlacing of moving wide shots with rock solid close-ups; slightly de-synchronizing of audio dubbing in random scenes; freezing the frame to a black and white 'photo' when characters snap pictures; the "magical" transfer of data from an untethered digital camera to a PC. Nowhere are the dream elements more perfectly presented than the "shark attack" scenes. Note that Worth's diabolical genius has taught me not to assume that there is a physically manifested "shark" or that it even "attacks" in any visceral sense. These sequences throughout SA3:MI are intricately constructed to tap into the deepest fears of humanity in ways that no other contemporary film has achieved. The "growling" of the "shark," the shifting of "species" from one shot to the next, the use of a crudely constructed "fin" revealing the shark is only a narrative construct. These elements are just the tip of the dream iceberg. Consider the tendency of victims to throw themselves or drive vehicles directly into the "shark's" "mouth." Is this creature the sum of all our unconscious fears? Do these fears engulf us against our will, or do we engulf ourselves? By giving ourselves over to the predator, do we "kick" back up to the next dream level, freeing ourselves from the trap of our subconscious minds? Or perhaps we are the predator, preying on the humanity of others by devouring their raw fears? SA3:MI will not resort to providing cheap, pre-packaged answers to these questions. It demands that we plumb the depths of our own souls for those answers. No other film in history has so artfully challenged the viewer to swim in a virtual ocean of subconscious experiences and determine if he is making his way toward the surface or in fact diving deeper towards new and amazing discoveries.
leavesonline I had the wonderful experience of watching this movie with a scientist who studies sharks. However, watching this movie with anyone would have to result in an evening of hysterical laughter. Nothing about this movie makes sense.There are so many entertaining aspects of this movie it's almost hard to keep track; John Barrowman adds a shamelessly cheesy performance that only serves to highlight how much the female lead isn't trying. I loved that character; not only was she one dimensional but we knew she was a serious scientist because she had a dinosaur book on her desk. There's the nonsensical ex-sailor who pops up for no other reason than to cheer on our plucky heroes with corny slogans like 'it's the Navy way!'. Special recognition has to be given to the slimy bad guys and their unnecessarily complicated back story, especially the one who steals the lifejacket from the pretty young woman. Thankfully he gets his just desserts.Which brings us to the real stars of this marvel; the sharks. It must be a terrible problem for filmmakers; ever since Bruce the plastic shark from Jaws, viewers have come to expect actual sharks in their movies. In this masterpiece, the problem is solved with some photoshopped stock footage. This turns out to be a fantastic solution to problems such as scale; suddenly the shark that could swim through a doorway can also eat a boatload of people in one gulp.The makers of this may not have had high expectations of fame and fortune, but of all the marine biologist fighting giant oceanic predator flicks, this one stands out as a must-see.
Michael Gomez When an unusual Shark tooth is found off the Mexican Coast, 2 researchers band together with a. . . lifeguard?; to rid the world of the gigantic menace it belongs to.This is the kind of B-Grade Horror you have to laugh at. With lines like the one quoted above, and acting that will make you clench your teeth; you just know you're in for a night of hilarious pain. Kind of like when you hit your funny bone.After my wife & I first watched it we turned to each other, at the end of the film, and knew we had to screen it to other people. Thus, 'Megalodon Night' was born. A large group of close friends attended the B-Grade fest and it was one of the funniest experiences I have ever shared with a film.Direction: 2/10 (David Worth...wait, didn't he do 'Kickboxer'? What happened, dude?) Cinematography: 2/10 (David Worth again. Give him a break, he was tired from directi...never mind) Editing: 2/10 (Kristopher Lease seems like he should stick with TV series) Acting: 2/10 (John Barrowman should get an Oscar for keeping a straight face during those lines) Dialogue: 2/10 (Scott Devine & William Hooke basically ripped this off a book called 'MEG') Sound: 1/10 (These guys definitely didn't put in any overtime. Absolutely awful mix-down) Effects: 3/10 (I'll give the Special Effects team something for effort) Art Direction: 3/10 (At least the rich snobs looked like proper tools. Great job!) Costumes: 4/10 (The tuxedos on those snobs was the icing) Music and/or Score: 3/10 (Ashley Miller's sound couldn't even be heard due to poor effort from the sound department)Total Score: 24/100I don't want to spoil what could potentially make you choke as you laugh so I'm not going to mention the Shark looks like they had a budget of $5 for CG. Anyway, if you can bare it, it's a great piece of awfulness. All I can suggest is to do what I did. Make a night of it and just enjoy it for what it is . . . or what it isn't for that matter.
