Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

dmuel This is one of the worst movies I've seen in a while. I have to confess, I fast forwarded through most of it, because it was far too stupid and low-budget to waste any time on. A navy experiment with sharks has gone awry, and a group of ferocious sharks is now threatening to make the viewer nervous. However, these CGI sharks are so phony looking, along with the sets and other effects, that one will have to watch some other movie for thrills. So little production value was added to this flick that one actor, who is supposedly eaten by a shark in one scene, re-appears 10 minutes later with a mustache on his face as a different character. I'm writing this review to take my revenge on the producers of this film. It is not a "so-bad-it's-good" movie, it's too bad for human eyes to watch.

Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) A lot of shark films have come a long way, in "Dark Waters" I liked it very much. Lorenzo Lamas know for his role in "Renegade" and "Falcon Crest" puts on quite a show as a suave marine biologist, who unmasks the secret of a bio-weapon plan gone wrong. Lorenzo plays Dane Quatrell who father was "killed" in his youth and later finds out he is alive after all those years. "Dark Waters" does have some humor to it. The schemes he and his crew pull to bilk the buyers to help the institute which indeed backfires when the "victims" turn the tables on Dane and his crew. It was funny when the tape the sub crew find wasn't surveillance. And the one other thing I liked is when the Seargent Milkos(Jeffrey Gorman) was knocked out and bleeding Dane tells Robin(Simmone MacKinnon) to remove her top. That was some sex appeal watching her in her black bra. At least no one else got any ideas afterwards. And getting rid of those super-sharks looked great. When those rogue Marines got chomped, their names won't be mention in a memorial. I've enjoyed this movie very much. The plot was good, and the rest is for you to see for yourself. Rating 3 out of 5 stars.

mboitano OK, now I know when I rent "Dark Waters" at blockbuster I can't expect anything good. However, sometimes movies are so bad that they become good again, and thats what I was hopin for. This 92 minute "movie" has gone past being good again, and is just pitiful. The movie has like three sets(which all look like they were made form cardboard boxes), the special effects are not special effects, and to top it off nobody gets naked!! What kind of horror movie is this?! I made better horror movies in seventh grade, and I am not kidding. I've seen many bad movies, from "Cheerleader Massacre" to "You Got Served", and this is by far and away the cream of the worst crop ever harvested.

Christopher T. Chase Sci-Fi Channel's "Original Pictures" arm is fast becoming the AIP-clone for the New Millennium, and it's movies just like this one that prove it. You only have to see the credit "Starring Lorenzo Lamas" to know exactly what you're in for. And no matter how low your expectations, I don't think the hardiest bad-movie fan is ready for this 'deep-star-sixed' turkey.Lorenzo and made-for-gratuitous-breast-shots-hottie Simone MacKinnon play--what else?--a failed marine biologist/oceanographer and his cohort. Once legit scientists who actually ran a real exploratory institute, specializing in environmental studies and research, (yeah, right), they have become mere scam artists, bilking rich idiots out of tens of thousands of dollars for a new, non-existent "project": the discovery and eventual exploration of "ATLANTIS."At the film's opening, stolen right from the script pages of another howler, DEEP BLUE SEA, (which was twice as bad, but also two times more entertaining than this), a private deep-core drilling station is trashed by a school of animated marauding sharks (yes, you DID read that correctly), who also make its inhabitants into fast fish food.Cut to the aforementioned pseudo-soiree. LL and Simone have just finished fleecing a bevy of bountiful society boobies, but then the "hunters get captured by the game." Next thing they know, they find themselves waking from unconsciousness and headed for the dilapidated headquarters where the institute was founded by LL's late dad. There to greet them is the man who may have been responsible for Papa's demise, played with the usual workmanlike dependability by Canadian staple Bruce Gray, (and you already know how much you should trust characters played by Canadian actors with the first name "Bruce.") Bruce offers the sci-cons a sweetheart of a deal: investigate the shark attack on his drilling station, and he'll make all their legal and monetary problems disappear. (Haven't people learned about deals like this YET???)I could bore you with the rest of the details, but why bother? You already know it by-the-numbers: super-brainy sharks, genetic experimentation gone awry, government/military conspiracy and cover-ups, lots of bullets flying, soldiers and scenery chewed, yadayadayada. Just keep in mind: the credits in this movie list both a director of visual effects AND a director of animation, so you know that the majority of the budget was spent on hair care products for the two "stars."Which reminds me...that's about what this movie is worth. And that's because I happen to like Bruce Gray. The sharks are a bonus. Now if they only could've snacked on the screenwriters...
