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

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

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

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.

Sayang oras. Di ko lang maisip na sa dami ng lugar e sa ilog pa nanaisin ng pating mamuhay kahit may climate change effect pa yan. At ganun din kabilis ang pating. Basta wala lang logic ang pelikulang to

Definitely had more potential. I find the story in some parts refreshingly new and different from previous shark thrillers. The topic of environmental pollution and the resulting change in lifestyle for sea creatures is an exciting perspective and explains why the shark is in the Seine. But in my opinion, a lot of potential is thrown away at the end and the whole movie mutates into a comedy show.

I think the bad reviews are just people who are against any thoughts of global warming Anyone who puts it below 50% is very biased. I don't usually get into any movie that I don't know any of the actors but I got into this right away

I compare most shark movies to jaws and it falls short by miles. This movie is more of an activist movie. The message is good but it's more an activist, save the ocean movie than a jaws type movie.
