Reviews:
“This is The Asylum, the effects are as good as you can imagine. It’s sh*t. It’s worthy of a laugh here and there, but the only thing boosting this from being an absolute failure in my eyes is Caroline Williams. I would only recommend this to die-hard Caroline Williams fans, such as myself.” ★★ Argentohoe
“When you watch an Asylum film you know what you are in for. This movie is no exception. It’s stupid, poorly acted with terrible CGI but it’s a load of fun.” Brad A. Hargis
“Asylum and shark movies is always a plus. Could use more shark action though.” ★★½ JamesFearX
“It was cool to see The Asylum spending some money to get their bigger name stars for more than a day or two, but we really needed some more actual characters on the USS King and some more money for sets. Ultimately, this movie was okay, but it could have been a lot of fun with a little more money.” ★★★ QPorcupine
“It’s all so dull that even adding the prospect of a tsunami being unleashed on Hawaii and one of the megalodons being a pregnant female can’t make the film interesting. With three writers you would think that something would work and catch the viewer’s attention. But it’s all so predictable and relentlessly cheap even by Asylum standards that it never manages to generate any excitement.” 1 out of 5, ★ Voices from the Balcony
