This movie lacks anything I'm interested in when watching a horror movie (if it even aimed to be a horror movie - but even as a drama it fails in every aspect). The build-up is rushed and never explained. You're never sure how many sharks there actually are and what their motivation is. The sharks themselves behave completely unnatural. But let's boil it down a little more: 1. Where and/or why does the Tsunami come from? While not unheard of I doubt that a Tsunami of this magnitude (it pretty much destroyed half the city and flooded many buildings) wouldn't have been predicted.
2. How the f*** did the sharks get into the supermarket and what are the chances of two of them ending up there - let alone two great white sharks? 3. The whole layout of the supermarket and how the survivors were spread out after the tsunami hit was completely unbelievable.
4. Where was the shark while they were all still in the water.. SLOWLY moving towards the shelves? 5. How could the shark have had enough space to gain momentum for most of his out-of-water attacks? 6. What was the sharks motivation to kill? We see a scene where he refuses a pig and they explain he only wants fresh meat - fair enough but how much meat does he actually need? We saw him kill and eat at _least_ two humans within a short amount of time I doubt a shark can or even needs to eat that much - especially if he can be picky about what he eats 7. Loud noises were explained to attract the sharks in this movie - the opposite is the case. If you make loud noises the sharks will be slightly thrown off/confused - certainly not attracted though.
8. The "shark cam" (at least I presume it was supposed to be the point of view of the shark) was swimming in water WAY too shallow for the shark to get there. In general the water in the supermarket was insanely shallow for a shark of that size.
Now the really ridiculous:
9. They had at least 2 or 3 guns - only one of them held on to his gun and he never even thought about using it on the shark? WTF almost everything is wrong about this.
10. They just _had_ to shut off the electricity? Are there no fuses in Australia? I have a hard time believing that there was still electricity in this building to begin with. And now if you tell me that even if the fuses kick in there's still electricity in the cable - true but flipping the switch - in effect doing the same thing the fuses would do - wouldn't change that.
11. Electricity has such a high voltage that it will visibly produce sparks along the cable? b/s.
12. The way both sharks were killed was also unbelievable and ridiculous.
All the acting was terrible.
