Jurassic Shark 2: Aquapocalypse is a 2021 film by Mark Polonia. Those crazy drilling people are at it again and the child of the Megalodon is out and killing once again with a whole new crop of people in its jaws.
That weird scene at the beginning of the film where the shark eats the T-Rex is one that was in the Sharksploitation documentary. It is so off the wall bad that it is actually quite funny and probably my favorite scene in the film. Of course this is only the biggest shark in the world and most agile as it is adept in swimming in like 5 ft of water. I also liked that the shark kind of roared at the end which could be an homage to the Jaws sequels. The plot isn't too bad, I enjoyed the characters and it moved along at an ok pace with a few hangups, not unlike the original film. I felt overall the plot was ok
Titus Himmelberger does an excellent job playing the Marina Owner, I don't know what it is about his portrayal but it cracks me up each time. Jamie Morgan also does a pretty convincing job as Agent Parks playing it cool. Can't help but love Polonia's cameo in this one giving the finger to the Marina guy. In the end the actors did their jobs and played their parts enough to get the point across without totally ruining emersion.
There is a copious amount of CG in this one with our shark continuing its CG reign of terror. I swear Polonia takes stock footage from other things and puts it into his films, that's the only way I can find that you have so many high quality video images of so many bikini class women where as the camera quality for the main film is of lower quality. In this film (unlike Sharkula) I'd say that the camera quality is almost on par with the bikini material. Of course we also see that crazy little shark fin, that is at least two films I'm now wondering if it was in Amityville Island as well.
That weird vacation theme for the music so does not fit with the theme here. The rest of the music in the background does its job and isn't too jarring. I feel if it felt more like a tropical beach and not like...say a lake things would be 100% on.
In the end Jurassic Shark 2 kind of goes bigger than the original while at the same time keeping up with the same level of quality. I feel if you were big into the original film you will likely enjoy this one.
