Linda Holmes NPR It unfolds like a fairly classy suspense film about a rarely seen threat. It does not look cheap in the way Sharknado did, for instance. It’s quite competently shot and edited, it’s tense, and it’s frightening. In other words, it gets the job done. Jun 27, 2024 Full Review Ben Travis Empire Magazine A solid shark thriller whose admirable but clunky eco-warnings almost get in the way of a good time. Best when it allows itself to really go in-Seine. Rated: 3/5 Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Tasha Robinson Polygon One of the most substantive of the many aquatic-attack horror movies that have tried to coast along in the wake of Steven Spielberg’s Jaws… But when the inevitable bloodbath starts, Under Paris seems to be cribbing from much messier shark attack movies. Rated: 42/100 Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The awkwardness of a CG monstrosity darting around escalates; the movements are terribly amateurish in their designs. Rated: 5/10 Aug 25, 2024 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots Dumb yet creative, preachy yet thrilling, this horror/disaster movie takes its outlandish premise to all the places that fans of the killer shark genre will appreciate. Jul 15, 2024 Full Review JK Sooja Common Sense Media There are moments that betray this inevitability, of course, but its tone never hesitates. Played completely straight, no one in this film seems to notice how ridiculous their predicament is. Jul 8, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Dave N This is probably the worst movie I've ever seen. I've seen plenty of bad movie physics but this takes the cake. Not to mention the bad acting and over the top characters. "Oh there are man-eating sharks in a river so polluted life can't exist in it? Lets have a swimming race!" Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Ryan F This is one of the dumbest movies I have ever seen. I created an account just to write a review after watching this garbage. You'll be rooting against every character you are introduced to. The writing, acting, editing, cgi, all terrible. Nothing in this movie makes sense. Everyone involved in creating this should leave the industry. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review Ralph R Under Paris is one of those movies that tries to be profound but ends up feeling hollow. The story is weak, offering little to no meaningful takeaway, and the characters don't evolve in any way that makes you care about them. It feels like the filmmakers had a vague idea of what they wanted to achieve, but the execution completely missed the mark. The pacing is uneven, with scenes dragging on unnecessarily, and the overall narrative lacks cohesion. Visually, the movie has its moments. The cinematography captures some striking shots, and there's an attempt to create tension through dramatic imagery. However, even these moments feel empty without a solid story or relatable characters to back them up. It's a case of style over substance, where flashy visuals try to mask the lack of depth, but they don't succeed. In the end, Under Paris doesn't leave you with much. It's not entertaining enough to be memorable or thought-provoking enough to spark conversation. If you're looking for a movie with compelling storytelling or emotional weight, this isn't it. It's a one-and-done kind of watch that leaves you wondering what the filmmakers were even trying to say. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/08/25 Full Review Jason S It was painfully bad. This film actually makes me WANT to watch Jaws IV again and I didn't think amazing could do that. I have watched the first 43 minutes of this movie and I can't make myself care enough to watch the rest. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/07/25 Full Review Bao B *SPOILER ALERTS* I highly recommend not watching this movie 🙃. The shark’s behavior isnt weird, it’s the people’s. (1) Just a little splash when the shark jumped out of the water and then everybody started falling off a probably over 50cm edge:)))??? It looked like they wanted to join the shark🙃 (2) the mayor barely cared about the shark that caused so many deaths and kept organizing the event where PEOPLE SWIM IN THE RIVER WITH THE SHARK???. Would the events really bring you more fame than infamy and worth risking people’s lives??? A 10-year-old can easily know what is more important here🙃(3) Nobody trusted what a shark scientist said about sharks????????? Anyway, the CGI was good. My standard is Avatar 2(i know it’s an unfair match) but i enjoyed this one(only for CGI). I usually still recommend movies with dumb characters and behaviors if they have a really good storyline, twist or it’s really touching, but not this one🙃 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review Bryce L If you’re slobbering drunk, have an IQ of about 75, and unabashedly embrace the universally absurd, you’re going to love this film.
