Ugh. The fake sharks in this movie are just so bad that it's crazy to believe this movie was released in 2024. It must've been a really tight budget. The concept for the film was actually kind of cool, but the execution was just terrible. It feels like they never finished it. The ending is so ironic, especially with the Olympics coming up.

The first half was dull, but the middle got kind of funny. And the ending? It was totally epic! Plus, it's a great environmental movie. You see sharks going on a killing spree at famous landmarks, and humans can't do anything to stop them. And those opening scenes with ocean trash and a flooded Parisian landfill feel super realistic.

This movie is so much fun and has a totally unexpected ending. It doesn't go for the typical heroism of many Hollywood movies. Instead, it puts humans and sharks on the same playing field. It turns out that humanity's even worse than the shark and gets its dessert in the end (the beginning and end even mirror each other). It delivers two incredible shark massacre scenes for the audience. If you're a fan of horror or disaster movies, you should definitely check it out.

The plot is dumb but hilarious. Whenever you start thinking, "Does this even make sense?" the ending scene just screams, "This movie doesn't care about logic!" And honestly, I think they shot this movie on an iPhone, as it really looks like it was shot that way.

The visuals are okay, but the script and characters are way over the top. The characters are silly; there's just this never-ending fight between the male and female leads. And it's basically an absurd revenge story. In the end, the shark escapes and blows up leftover WWII stuff at the bottom of the river because of a police mistake. It devastated the Seine, and the protection for centuries was in vain. But anyway, that destruction plotline definitely has a French humor twist.

Whoa, they actually pulled off filming this "guilty pleasure" kind of story but kept it pretty serious! The show's got this chaotic, evil satire vibe, crazy characters, and a thriller-like start that reminds me of "Jaws." But then it ends pretty anticlimactically. It reminds me a lot of "Halloween Kills" in many ways. I can't remember the last time I saw a shark movie this scary, even though some of those catacomb scenes are a bit ridiculous.

La primera parte es aburrida, pero en la mitad se vuelve un poco divertida. ¿Y el final? ¡Totalmente épico! Además, tiene un paisaje fantástico: ves tiburones que matan en lugares turísticos famosos y los humanos no pueden hacer nada para detenerlos. Las escenas iniciales en las que aparece basura en el océano y un vertedero parisino inundado son súper realistas.

Una película muy divertida con un final totalmente inesperado. No está a la altura del heroísmo típico de Hollywood. Pone a los humanos y los tiburones en el mismo campo de juego. Resulta que la humanidad es incluso peor que el tiburón, y al final se lleva la frutilla del postre (el principio y el final incluso se reflejan). Con sus dos increíbles escenas de masacre de tiburones, si te gustan las películas de terror o catástrofes, no te la puedes perder.

La trama es estúpida pero divertidísima. Llega un punto en el que empiezas a pensar: ¿qué sentido tiene todo esto? La escena final demuestra que a esta película no le importa la lógica. Parece filmada con un iPhone.

Las imágenes son buenas, pero el guion y los personajes son exagerados, tontos. Hay una lucha interminable entre los protagonistas. Es básicamente una historia de venganza absurda. Al final, el tiburón escapa y hace estallar los restos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial en el fondo del río por un error policial. Devastó el Sena y la protección durante siglos fue en vano. Esta destrucción definitivamente tiene un toque de humor francés.

¡Vaya, realmente lograron contar una historia de este tipo de manera seria! La película tiene una vibra caótica y satírica, personajes locos y un suspenso inicial que me recuerda a Tiburón. Pero termina de manera bastante decepcionante y me hace acordar a Halloween Kills. No recuerdo la última vez que vi una película de terror sobre tiburones, aunque algunas de las escenas de las catacumbas son un poco ridículas.

A primeira parte é chata, mas no meio fica meio engraçado. E o final? Totalmente épico! Além disso, tem ótimos cenários: você vê tubarões em matanças em pontos turísticos famosos e os humanos não conseguem fazer nada para detê-los. As cenas de abertura em que se vê lixo no oceano e um aterro parisiense inundado são super realistas.
