1.5 stars - Just plain dumb family garbage.
Daniel
If only there had been more shark and less everything else, this wouldn't have been such a painful watch...
Piper
The plot is as environmentally conscious as the special effects...
Fiona
Didn't expect it to be a middle-class redemption film.
Juliette
While it leans into plot, it focuses on it too much. Megalodon's screen time is minimal, and the plot itself lacks punch. Tying the Megalodon to an evil deity feels underdeveloped.
