Brings a tear to my eye to think two giant shark movies will be in theaters in one year.

Edit: Don't get me wrong, I don't expect either to be good--I'm guessing a giant shark movie will always be better in theory than practice.

It was exactly the movie I expected it to be. Nothing more, nothing less

I was hoping it would be closer to the level of Deep Blue Sea, quality-wise. But it had a hard time building any suspense after the first half or so, even on a superficial, say Anaconda, level. As much as I love the idea (and look) of the giant sharks, it might just be a harder fit to build good set pieces around them.

But I'll at least stream any shark movie that seems like it has a capable effects teams working on it, so I'm sure I'll watch this one (and Black Demon) sooner or later.
