You know how you see something so bad it's really not worth watching yet you can't stop watching anyway? This is one of those movies.
The movie ignores numerous natural and physical laws, and many of the characters seem to act without logic sometimes. Why would you stay in the water when you know there are sharks swimming about? Why are people still hanging out by the sea and there no evacuation protocols when there is a hurricane approaching?
The plot is screwy and full of loopholes, acting is below average, the CG effects are laughable, and the film editing can leave one slightly nauseous at times. I didn't care for any of the characters at all except for the sharks, wondering how many of the cast they can eat by the end of the film.
Yet in a weird way it still manages to entertain. You wait for the next accidental comic moment, the next shark attack, see what other crazy scheme the people come up with to save others or themselves, and all the use-anything-at-all methods they use to kill attacking sharks along the way. It's actually a hoot to see how the sharks act like dolphins, arcing out of the water. In some parts, it's like Final Destination - you think you're safe then BAM, you're dead from one thing or another.
I would have given this a 1, but decided it deserved another 2 points simply for its entertainment value on a slow night with friends with nothing to do, because this is definitely one of those shows you need people around to point at, deride and laugh at with.
