Okay if you look at this film for a fine polished movie then you are going to be sadly mistaken. This movie is 'b' movie, and taken in that scale, not a bad one to boot. Yes at time the acting can be a tad annoying and wooden. And the special effects can rather lame. But there is a story line there, and I think is this is redone as a modern film with a good amount of money for the special effects and a tidy up of the script, you would have a cracking little movie. Because at the moment the film is a diamond in the rough, I would advise you watch it, just to see what I mean.
You get a feel for some of the people within the movie itself, more so then some of the newer films.
All in all I would give it 6 out of 10, as a middle of the road type of film, take your brain out of gear sit back and watch.....
EDIT 11/08/2013
Watching the film again the other day, I thought about the book MEG with is a cracking title by Steve Alten. This film if it were given a remake with a good budget and a rewrite, keeping some of the story line, but expanding it passed the events on the oil rig, I think you could have a fair movie. The storyline on this as I said before is a tad flimsy, and the oh so special effects, but you start to get a feel for some of the characters, which should be expanded.
If you did all of this, then you should have a movie to watch and play at the movies.
Will it happen,, I don't think so, which is a shame
