Two marine biologists discover a giant shark's tooth off the coast of Mexico, and their worst fears become reality--the tooth is that of Megalodon, a prehistoric shark with a 100 foot-wide bite. The creature was believed to be long-extinct, but when tourists start turning up in pieces, the authorities decide that a decisive plan of action is required. (official distributor synopsis)

English Oh man! I'm always curious about films with similar themes to Shark Attack 3: Megalodon, but so far, with a few exceptions, they’ve always been duds. I accept that the filmmakers tried to diversify the plot with a huge, long-extinct beast, but those effects! Thanks to them, the clumsy 20-metre shark provokes more laughter than terror, and its swallowing victims, boats or even submarines looks so stupid that I’m surprised the producers did not demand a hefty compensation. The performances are also absolutely nothing, without emotion and do more harm than good. The only thing that could still save the film, namely thick tension, is something the filmmakers also fail at and all the action is sluggish, unreadable and almost bloodless. I give one star mainly because I like sharks and feeding their overgrown brothers really amused me. (13/05/2011)
