Megalodon: The Frenzy

Hh

hi

so interesting

Having survived the original attacks, the crew of the Naval vessel fighting the Megalodon shark discovers a research facility also under attack by more of the massive creatures and have even managed to capture one forcing them to work together to stop the sharks from spreading across the world. Overall, this was a rather fun and enjoyable genre effort. Among the better features of this one is the exciting setup that provides a worthy type of over-the-top scenario that comes off rather well. With the exploits of the previous encounter used as a backdrop to showcase the failing ship's health and status brought to the forefront immediately, this one starts pretty well and gives a decent enough setup for the release of the other sharks. Dealing with the underwater exploration of the potential energy source and unexpectedly freeing it once they realize that the area was home to a series of sharks that get freed into the open ocean where they continually engage in a series of missions to get in contact with the creatures to prevent others from succumbing to their power. That is a fine excuse for the type of technology and series of prototype equipment that are put in place for the scenario to play out as everything about this is the type of over-the-top genre effort that makes for a fun time. As well, that also means the film has a slew of exciting and hilariously cheesy attacks getting the creatures out on the water and interacting with others. The recaps of the original and attempts to show the new creature attacking the damaged ship offer up the chance to see the sharks' immense size and ferocity with these sequences. Also helpful in that regard is the outright goofy scenes showing the creatures out in the world at large as they're shown taking down ocean liners, surfers, and ordinary citizens on the beach which center around the typically silly concepts and execution of the sharks at that size interacting with regular people. The finale, featuring a slew of impressive tactics trying to finally knock off the last sharks with some solid strategic points alongside the high-end technological advances trying to finish everything, offer up quite a bit to like here which gives the film a lot to like about it. There are a few slight factors here that hold this one down. One of the main drawbacks to the film is the seemingly obnoxious ability to continually try to dismiss the activity or presence of the shark despite being a straightforward sequel to the original. The idea of the shark being present in the situation following the creature attacking and destroying the ship earlier in the day during the original film shouldn't make the idea of there being more creatures seem all that difficult to believe yet this one has way too many instances of the sighting being dismissed by others for the implausibility of it happening. It makes the film feel far too cheesy for its own good by having something that monumental and important being written off simply for the heroes to be constantly proven right and even more so considering the events in the film's own universe. As well with the constant cheesiness of the effects and CGI being presented, these efforts are what end up being its main flaws. Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Violence.

The movie sets sail with a cast led by the seasoned Eric Roberts, whose performance as a naval leader is, unfortunately, one of the film's few bright spots. Because, despite his earnest efforts, Roberts' portrayal lacks authenticity, leaving much to be desired. Curiously, he bears an uncanny resemblance to his grandmother, which adds an unintended layer of distraction to his character. The casting choices for the female leads present another conundrum. Although they aim to play characters twenty to thirty years younger than their actual ages, their amateurish performances break the illusion entirely. Their attempts to portray youthful vigor fall flat, making it difficult to engage with their characters on any meaningful level. The most glaring issue, however, is the film's CGI. It seems as though the special effects were handled by a teenager with limited experience. The shark attack scenes, meant to be thrilling and suspenseful, are laughably bad. The graphics are outdated, the movements unnatural, and the overall execution is disastrously off the mark. It's almost as if the CGI team was aiming for a retro vibe but missed the target by several decades. Despite these numerous flaws, there is a faint glimmer of effort detectable throughout the film. The filmmakers appeared to have some semblance of a vision, even if it didn't translate well on screen. For that reason alone, I generously award the film two stars. The attempt to create a compelling movie is evident, but unfortunately, the execution leaves the audience adrift in a sea of disappointment. In conclusion, it is a misadventure that fails to deliver on its promises. With lackluster performances, abysmal CGI, and a script that doesn't quite hit the mark, it is a film that might be enjoyed for its unintentional humor rather than its intended thrills. Proceed with caution, and perhaps bring a life preserver of low expectations.

Captain Lynch and Commander Moore are dead, NOOOOOOOO!!! Basically offscreen from the end of the last film. Should have brought back Commander Ahearn from the last film, he was scary, but entertaining LOL. So now the USS King has a new Captain, Ltd. Cmdr. Sharp, played by the one and only Eric Roberts, who looks like he is on his last leg Lmao. The ship has 2 maybe 3 sailors on it Lmao. Somebody said skeleton crew, they weren't lying. No name tags as usual and for some reason Eric Roberts keeps calling them Marines, two different branches of the military, I just kept shaking my head. The Asylum can't afford a military consultant and more actors? This was funny! Caroline William's plays Dr. Rylie Clark who's tapping into a limitless source of natural energy in the ocean who comes across one of the megs and begins a battle with these giants, with the help of her intelligence team. I'm actually being kind. Her character talks way too much, a bunch of nothing, too much dialogue. Boring! The first 2 Megs were actually entertaining and way more laughs. They introduced this Captain of the USS Fragasso, where they got the name for this battleship, I have no idea. It seems the Captain forgot his uniform at the crib, this was funny as hell. Everytime they showed him, it was neck up, don't know what that was about. The sharks in the movie ate yachts, small boats, and people in one swallow, this was hilarious. This movie is ridiculous and the acting is bad. I have alot of Asylum films, so this is nothing new. They get worse and worse, but I get alot of laughs out of these flicks, this one not so much.

Anyone who's ever seen an Asylum film knows that they are always very cheap and bad. This one was just stupid. And all you could do was just laugh through the entire thing. I feel very bad for Eric Roberts. He's a good actor, but why the hell did he choose this dumb a$$ film to star in? The sharks and their CGI were completely out of sync with the rest of what was going on in the frame. It made me laugh so hard, how there was this massive battleship, and only three soldiers. Where was everyone else? The fact that they kept screaming the chant for the Marines while they were in navy uniforms from the neighborhood thrift store beats the hell out of me. I think Asylum should've gone out of business when it first started so I have no idea how it made to 25th anniversary, but it still makes very crappy films. The fact that everyone was filmed from the waist up at pretty much all times was ridiculous. I don't even think they had a script. It was all improv and bad improv. The actors weren't actors; I don't know where they found these folks, but they should get better jobs or other jobs. Anyways, typical of the production company, but even worse than usual; avoid!

The acting is horrendous these are just some of the worst actors around the props are so low budget brown paper plastic explosives. I mean come on they couldn't afford some grey clay. Back to the actors. If they didn't act the movie might deserve more than one star. There isn't even a reason to watch this movie you actually root for the sharks to eat people. I have yet to see an asylum movie that isn't beyond cheesy. All in all if you're looking for a horribly rated movie just because you like to watch a train wreck happen live this is the movie for you. I wish I could say something good about it. But it is just not possible.
