Pajama P This was a trainwreck that I can't stop watching. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/25 Full Review TheMovieSearch R Jurassic Shark is an absolute disaster from start to finish—a film that somehow manages to be worse than you could imagine. From the opening scene, it’s painfully obvious that the director had no interest in making a coherent or engaging movie. The pacing is all over the place, the shots are poorly framed, and the editing is sloppy, leaving you struggling to follow what’s happening—or care. The acting is uniformly terrible. Every performance feels forced or completely disengaged, as if the actors themselves knew the script was a joke. Lines are delivered without conviction, and the character dynamics are nonexistent. There’s no tension, no humor, no charm—just a series of awkward interactions that make you wonder how anyone signed off on this project. And the shark itself? Utterly laughable. Whether it’s supposed to be terrifying or threatening, it comes off as a stiff, fake prop. CGI or practical effects, it doesn’t matter—the creature looks ridiculous in every scene. Its attacks are unconvincing, unthreatening, and often so poorly shot that you can’t even tell what’s happening. The writing does nothing to help. The plot is thin and nonsensical, hopping from one random scene to the next with zero logic or buildup. There’s no suspense, no story arc, and no real reason to care about any of the characters or what happens to them. Even the locations and set design feel rushed and uninspired. Bland interiors and generic outdoor shots dominate the film, adding to the sense that this was made with minimal effort and no vision. Jurassic Shark is more than just bad—it’s a textbook example of how a film can fail on every possible level. Incoherent, poorly acted, and visually unconvincing, it’s nearly impossible to watch without cringing. Avoid it entirely unless you’re looking for a “so-bad-it’s-hilarious” experience—and even then, it might be too painful to sit through. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/29/25 Full Review Cristian J This movie is somehow worse than the new megamind movie Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review Marshall C Aside from a certain adult website, this incredible picture (less so it’s subsequent sequel) is Canada’s best export, and a lesson in how to enrich a viewer’s life through thoughtful lessons about aquatic safety, and the beautiful synchronicity between us and finned creatures worldwide. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/28/24 Full Review Vegito 1 JURASSIC SHARK?! Megalodon's weren't born in the Jurassic Period, they went extinct 20M years ago not 65, this is just stupid as the sequels Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/24 Full Review Jacob R ITS FIRE NGL 🔥 😫 😩 😍 🤧 😭 🔥 😫 😩 😍 🤧 😭 🔥 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
