ROBOSHARK is a particularly stupid monster flick from the SyFy Channel, with a premise so idiotic that the director has no choice but to make this an all-out comedy. Unfortunately, it's completely unfunny, so much so that it's difficult to sit through. A shark eats a UFO (!) and transforms into the titular menace while the military run around and try to figure out a way to stop it. The whole film is full of mannered, over the top line delivery and the dialogue really is the pits, trying to be hip with modern society references and even a little self-referencing but failing in the attempt. Needless to say, the CGI effects are among the worst you'll see.

This is one of those that is ridiculously bad enough to be good. Not award earning caliber, but good enough for fun. More smiles than groans anyway. A monster Great White shark happens to eat a chunk of a UFO that falls in the Pacific. Immediately this giant flipper becomes a Roboshark, that by circumstance bumps into an investigative submarine. This makes for an unhappy shark that buzz saws through the Nuclear Sub with its metal teeth. Roboshark goes on the move and prepares for a battle with the US Navy at Seattle's Space Needle.Let some decent special effects make up for the acting and poor dialogue. In the cast: Matt Rippy, Alexis Peterman, Vanessa Grasse, Nigel Barber, Kicker Robinson and Laura Dale.

Dear IMDb, I saw this movie. I was told this was a comedy through the voices of actors playing the roles of characters, is that breaking the fourth wall? Yeah, it was not a comedy, by the way. Why does stuff happen? Is there some deeper mechanism behind our day to day decisions or is there no such thing as conscious thought? This movie is about a city where some people live, but when the Roboshark shows up, less and less people live in the city until the movie's end. People will do that. Uh, this movie Okay, what do you want to know? Do you want to know some trivia? Do you want to know who is in this movie? Do you want to know my opinion or are you just being polite?

From the thundering opening scenes to the shattering climax staged incredibly on the Space Needle, this will grab you and not let go. Brilliantly clever and delightfully self-aware SyFy production that is nothing less than breathlessly exciting and uproariously funny. The hilarity is as non-stop as the thrills when a shark bites into an alien entity and becomes the expression the alien itself. Taking on the essential being of the alien, roboshark emerges and threatens to destroy Seattle. A superb script and inspired direction makes this one of the SyFy channel's most spectacular "creature features." Surprises abound and none will be spoiled here (but a fabulous performance by Steve Sires as a famous personality is utterly stunning.) Nigel Barber will have audiences on the floor in the role of The Admiral. The special effects are the usual SyFy brand of awful but are absolutely perfect for this particular exercise in satire and offbeat humor. It's hard to believe that Sharknado achieved cult status when something this wonderful seems to have been missed! Do not miss the ending sequence on the Space Needle itself!
