Raging Sharks (2005)

How sad is this?

A lot of fun.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Imagine if you will; an alien spacecraft explodes sending debris to earth which collides with a ship sinking it...plus leaving an object on the sea floor that seeps mysterious crystals. Where else could this happen but in the Bermuda Triange. Some years later an undersea oceanic research station is built where oceanographers Mike Olsten(Corin Nemic)and his wife Linda(Vanessa Angel)discover that something is attracting various species of sharks to the location. A Navy submarine captained by Corbin Bernsen comes to the rescue when the space crystals cause the raging sharks to frenzy with a more than normal voracious appetite for human flesh. Other players in this creature feature: Elise Muller, Simone Levin, Binky van Bilderbeek and Jonas Talkington.

In just about every way that you can think of, RAGING SHARKS utterly fails. I'll start by listing all the positive stuff I can think of. For a quickie shot in eastern Europe, the sets they build for the underwater laboratory and the nuclear sub weren't bad. And I did get a good laugh when one character in the sub says "Captain, we have a problem" in a passive voice while the sub he's in is blowing up. And that's all I can think of that was positive about my experience watching this loser. The shark attacks aren't very bloody and are filmed in a way that's hard to make out what's happening (probably to mask that the shark they use is made of rubber.) The movie is filled with stock footage, and the plot eventually comes to a crawl, with a lot of the movie still left to run. Incredibly, the last third of the movie, despite the title, is pretty much shark free! To top things off, the movie ends with a deus ex machina resolution that will leave you feeling cheated, even though the device used was introduced in the (pretty incomprehensible) beginning of the movie. If you get your hands on a copy, send it down to Davy Jones' locker!

this movie was overall one of the best movies i have ever seen. It had not only GREAT actors but i also love how it all made PERFECT sense in the end. I LOVE how space and ocean collaborated to make the easiest movie to understand. It was SOOOOO realistic. Two thumbs up. Oh, and the opera music during all of the most suspenseful scenes? BRILLIANT. everything about this movie was truly worth the 1.75. Whoever gave this movie a one star is mentally impaired. this movie was TOTALLY worth the extra 4 stars. i srongly recommend buying this movie and watcing EVERY DAY:) it changed my life. watch and you will see the pure epiciness of this movie.

Geez! Unfortunately, I didn't connect to the IMDb to check on this before we went to the video store, these sharks (and their lousy producers and cast) chew away $4.00 from me. As it happens very often in a bad movie case, I found myself making fun of the movie and wondering how in the world there are not authorities to prevent these disasters from even getting to innocent hands like ours. My poor daughter was hoping for a "Deep Blue Sea", and she got the "Deep Goo Sh**".The people commenting here about this movie are so right about the spoofs they found out, that I wont repeat them. But it chocked me mysteriously that when the female star decided to go "to help" the poor people that were actually being eaten by the sharks outside, the producer magically omitted the at least half and hour or more that takes to change into a diving suit. Who she thought she was? Superman, that changes inside a phone booth in an instant??? Oh wait...there are no phone booths undersea!...Oh well.If you are in a bank account suicidal drill or just love Animal Planet (and I'm not referring only to the sharks), don't let us commenters stop you...go ahead and rent it... Don't say we didn't warn you.
