Big stupid fun!

I really enjoyed this piece of polished, B-movie, creature feature nonsense... I think, because, as with the likes of Sharknado etc. I couldn't be disappointed, as I knew what I was going to get going in: It ain't Shakespeare, and it is not trying to be so, and you feel everyone involved is entirely aware if just what it is they are making... very self aware, and unapologetically so.

To sum up:

It's Jurassic Park, grafted onto The Abyss, doing a "mega" riff on the obvious inspiration of Jaws.

(Jurassic Shark?:)

Billionarie bonehead funds deep see exploration into an Abyssal trench, beyond the apparent sea floor, discovers massive shark-a-lodon thing, that then follows them to the surface, and commences eating everyone and everything in sight.

Only uber-gruff stereotypically chiselled and troubled hard-man Jason Statham can save the day!

(The movie itself is his saving grace here, as for once, he's not taking himself too seriously)

There are pretty much all of the key scenes / beats from Jaws played out here, but overtly so, and not pretending it's thought of these ideas itself, and oddly, given the carnage going on, there's actually not much gore in this, thanks to the judicious use of the timely spray of water, or a plume of bubbles at the most timely of moments, that obscures the majority of the blood and horror, and so like any good horror movie, allows the audience to imagine what would otherwise have been seen.

It took care of my Saturday night's entertainment, with a light piece of hokum fluff, that I didn't have to think too much about, but could just sit back, relax, and be very amused with a nice ale and some dry roasted peanuts.
