Yet another film in the B-movie killer shark genre which seems to be so popular at the moment, and is littered all over channels like Sy- Fy and the Horror channel. This is super low budget and at times cringe worthy bordering on hysterically stupid.
A drilling platform uses less than legal means to get through the hardest type of rock they have ever encountered, as they breach the rock they inadvertently unleash a prehistorical killer which has been hibernating for thousands of years; Super shark. Super shark is bigger and badder the other ocean wildlife, and he can fly, and when required, he can walk on land (sort of). Super shark also emits a kind of radio wave which scrambles other radios - which is a good way of detecting if the shark is about to attack, but isn't good if you are trying to radio for help. Super shark starts it's mayhem by destroying the drilling rig where it was woken up and then heads off to attack the locals of a small beach town who happen to be building up to a bikini contest. Specialists in marine activity are called in and even the army, air force and marines are drafted in. Who will be victorious - the local populous or a prehistoric killer built for death and destruction.
A sense of cheese is established early with the theme song to accompany the film, a funky "Super shark" song which will stay with you longer than the film does. Despite the bikini clad women in the film there isn't really any overtly sexual or nude scenes in the film. The gore and violence is kept to a minimum and shouldn't scare anyone - hell it's bad CGI blood throughout and you never see anyone killed off in a gruesome way. Speaking of CGI, expect to see a lot, from Super shark itself, man made machinery, tanks, even death scenes. The acting was probably one of the better features of the film and separates it from other cheese-fest films. The acting was fairly authentic most of the time, but it still felt as though the cast were brought in from newspaper adds, maybe even soft-porn magazines too. This is a pretty dumb film and if you have the stomach for cheesy films then you will enjoy this without getting offended.
I'm giving this a 3 out of 10 because it was a bad film. I do like bad films and this one didn't stimulate me to turning it off, but I don't think I'd watch it again having witnessed it once. Enjoy!
