It’s not exactly a sequel, but it is a brilliant remix…

I couldn’t resist it, either. Being a Navy buff, I loved how the “Destroyer Leader” morphed into a battleship and then a World War II-era destroyer…

Yeah, if our grandsons (ages 10, 7, and 4) still lived here in Colorado, we all would have had a great time watching it. Raiden, the 7-year-old, would have especially loved the shark eating the plane and the ships. ..bruce..

Hey, I’ve got another drinking game- spot the stock footage. No, wait we would be comatose well before the end of the movie.

It was quite a stinker, but it was fun to mock.

“Giant, human-hating insects”? Bwaha!

Bruce, even the kids noticed that it was the same ship’s corridor, the same stock footage of sharks, the same effects shots repeated. And the seven-year-olds weren’t afraid once they realized how lame the shark looked.

But we had fun. That was the point of watching it.

I watched this. While I thought the shark attacking the plane was cool, I still think I suffered a permanent 2d6 hit to IQ from having watched this all the way through. And I think the whole film cost maybe $2 million. The same corridor kept showing up on different ships, usually just with different color overhead lighting. It is possible for cheap, cheesy SF to be entertaining without causing brain damage; "Infestation" on SyFy a week or two earlier was worth the two hours. ..bruce..

Hey, it had a mega shark and a giant octopus, it delivered what it promised.

I personally liked when it chewed up the destroyer on the way to eating the bridge.

Maybe it had an iron deficiency.
