Critics Consensus

Marrying environmental themes with bloody thrills, this Gallic entry into the shark attack canon ultimately lands on the right side of ridiculous fun.

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.

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

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

Gone With The Twins

The awkwardness of a CG monstrosity darting around escalates; the movements are terribly amateurish in their designs.

Rated: 5/10

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.

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.

A movie that just keeps getting dumber and dumber. The initial story could have work, but the twists just don't make any sense. A very forgettable shark movie.

This movie seemed predictable and ridiculous as the story was building. Those in charge, the mayor and her team and law enforcement, are protecting a big event. Hmm, where has that tension been used in plot development? It crashes after the beginning when "teenagers" are playing parts for adult characters knowledgeable in oceanography. Wanting some shock terror I stayed with the movie and for that the CG didn't disappoint.

***Spoilers Alert*** REGULAR PATTERN MOVIE ! 1. A <Something> happens in a city. 2. Large gathering gonna happen in few days. 3. Lead actors informs the government. 4. Government neglects it. 5. <Something> attacks the city. 6. Lead actors never dies in climax. 7. <Something> dies or leaves the city. Expect the last point everything is same in under Paris. ***** <Something> can be Godzilla/tornado/volcano/ metore etc. **** Under Paris is not new to everyone. Stone age old story & screenplay. Only different is the climax where everyone fails to stop the <Something>.

Do not watch! A convoluted story with no closure to absolutely anything. The grieving lead scientist, does she redeem the loss of her team…nope! And where do all the baby sharks come from? And why do they grow so dang fast? Does everyone in Paris get eaten, yep. There’s some fun visuals but yikes, not much else.
