Alan M A really great movie. Full of action and suspense. I really enjoyed it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/21/22 Full Review Audience Member A mix of action and monsters, this film really seems to have no idea about where it's going. The characters are uninteresting, the octopus isn't really frightening and the computer effects are awful, and the ending drags on for a bit too much. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member The octopus was shit, seriously, if i'm going to watch a giant octopus film i don't want subtle involved at all! Interestingly though the actual part before they even get near the octopus wasn't as terrible as i thought it would be. I just despair at these movies when they don't play it for laughs AT ALL! Even after years upon years of this genre and it's like there's not even a nudge or a wink in sight. Nevermind, but next time i'm pretty sure I wouldn't mind if a giant freakin' rubber tentacle rose out of the sea and squished someone until their blood and guts were juiced out in some human-insides waterfall. THIS IS WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN! Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Toxic waste from a Soviet sub creates an enormous octopus that sinks ships that cross its underwater path. CGI effects do not look as good as Jaws and the terrorist subplot is completely unnecessary when I just wanted to see the octopus in action. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Thinking that this film was decades old, I was intent on giving it more credit than it possibly deserved, but given its 21st century release, I'm now left wondering why the hell the special effects and acting were so bad for such a modern movie! Having said that, did i still enjoy it?.........Yes!!! I was fearing something similar to the creature from the black lagoon and so was pleasantly surprised by the lower class version of the James Bond style film I received (much lower class I hasten to add). The Octopus was merely a sub-story of the main event, which revolved around a rookie police officer guarding a highly dangerous terrorist / serial killer across the border, unbeknown to the fact that the submarine transport was not only going to be under attack from the ocean beast, but also by hijackers intent on freeing their criminal mastermind. The script was full of cheesy lines, similar to bond, but suffered badly from some poor camera work and graphics making it difficult to tell what the hell was going on within the fast action sequences and underwater shots. I guess you could also say that there is a degree of unrealism in the way that the giant creature was able to mount a titanic like cruise liner and attack it's contents with relative ease, but that just adds to the fun. Not one I'd watch on repeat but pleasantly surprised by its entertainment factor. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty dumb at parts. A low budget really gets obvious with the bad effects. The lead guy is biggest sissy CIA man ever on screen. I found it funny how.many times they found ways to get the lead lady in her underwear. Nice. Add in a very overacting Ricco Ross. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
