Watching this movie in Cinemax, I waited for the credits to see the year it was released: "MMXXI". It couldn't be 2011, I thought, it might be 1991, but XXI is 11. I had wanted to believe that this movie wasn't made in 2011 (by the US), but now I see.
It looks like a low-budget film. The shark's graphics look horrible. Even the movement of the waves when the shark was swimming near the boat appears unnatural. And so with the sand falling off the robot-tank's legs, and the blood spatters when the shark eats a person. The story is not that exciting too, and the outcome is quite predictable. Perhaps this film was to somewhat "relive" the 1970s Jaws atmosphere, since the hairdos of the cast were quite old-fashioned. Were the movie personnel trying to limit also their technology?
Perhaps there will always be low-budget films such as these even up to these days. With many great movies released in the past years, it's just unusual to see such a movie being released to the public, especially at this time of high innovation and technology.
