A freak tsunami traps shoppers at a coastal Australian supermarket inside the building - along with 12-foot Great White Sharks. This movie is about a group of people who get trapped in a Supermarket after a Tsunami hits the coast of Queensland, Australia. But they soon find out that they have more to worry about than being in a flooded grocery store, there's 12 foot sharks swimming around them, and it's hungry. I have reviewed this film as a B-movie because it clearly had a much lower budget than standard disaster flicks.<br/><br/>This was one of those films I wanted to watch because of a favourite actor but then put off watching for months because… it looked like a B-movie! It's easy to ignore the bad CGI and there are a few painfully bad script moments (like they were sometimes asked to improvise but weren't very good at it) but overall, the professionalism of how it was filmed really lifted it for me.<br/><br/>The camera angles, the progression of the story, the genuine tension they managed to build sometimes, the thought that went into developing some of the characters… all led to me enjoying this film much more than I expected to.<br/><br/>Definitely one for when you're bored and just want to watch something whilst snacking but when you are bored, this might actually surprise you.<br/><br/>I'd say it's about as good as the first piranha movie (almost).<br/><br/>Compared with A-list disaster movies, I'd have given it a 6/10 but rated as a B-movie where some downfalls are more forgivable I'd rate it a 7/10. I'm going to start off by saying, this movie was awful. The story itself is ridiculous, the script is very poor, and the acting was average at best (although Julian McMahon put on a solid performance.<br/><br/>But I loved it. This is the type of movie you go see with a bunch of friends and just sit back and enjoy. It's a 'leave your brain at the door' type of movie. There are some comical lines as well as ridiculously stupid lines that just make you cry out with laughter. It's clearly evident that this movie is not taking itself serious at all, the story tells you that. <br/><br/>But you can still have a lot of fun with it. Don't sit there picking out all the flaws (because there are a hell of a lot of them), and don't take it seriously, the movie was not designed that way. Just enjoy the fact that "there's a 12 foot great white shark in here". There are some awesome scenes, as well as some really cool deaths (some that you wouldn't ever imagine)<br/><br/>The bottom line is, just enjoy the badness of this film, don't think about it, don't take it seriously, just enjoy it. That's what it was designed for.
