MOVIE REVIEW - Shark Night 3-D

Let me ask you question. Don't you think that there have been enough shark eating people movies?

It baffles me how many times we are asked by Hollywood t go to the flicks, and try to see some new way to watch us get eaten by sharks. And Shark Night 3-D, may be the granddaddy of all ill-advised projects.

Shark Night 3-D is the story of a bunch of good looking college students from Tulane University that go on a weekend getaway deep in the bayou at one of the rich girls family island home on a huge lake. There, one of them gets attacked by a shark and get his warm lopped off. Then as the try to escape the island retreat, they start getting picked off one by one by a bunch of sharks that have somehow infiltrated this salt water lake.

The makers do try to develop a story on how the sharks got in the lake, but it's lame. What this is, is an excuse to have a bunch of nice looking young actors act out this horribly written script while wearing bathing suits, no shirts, and small outfits. May be some of the worst acting of all time, and one of the most ridiculous scripts that's come down the pipe in a long time. Even the shark attack scenes are lame, tame, and low budget. It tries hard to be relevant, and topical in it's core "story" but it's flat out dumb. And if you've seen a movie like this before, you have an idea how it will end, and it does.

This is another example of the new 3-D inviting remakes of sorts, so we can now be bedazzled by shark snacks in 3-D. But it really doesn't work. Ho-hum. This movie is going to miss the mark badly, even with it's core audience that will think they are going to see a real scary, jolting flick. It is neither.

Shark Night 3-D. Why?
