Between Mega Shark, Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus, Mega Shark Versus Crocosaurus, Mega Shark Versus Mecha Shark and the rumored Mega Shark Versus Moby Dick, The Asylum has really gotten plenty of nautical miles out of the Mega Shark story.
Yet how can we explain the fact that Illeana Douglas appears in this movie as Dr. Alison Gray? I mean, Douglas is an incredible actress, but I guess everyone needs work. And yet she brings such gravitas to her role that you wonder, does she realize that she's in a movie where an unearthed Cold War Russian giant robot battles a monstrous shark?
This was directed by Christopher Ray, who is also Christopher Douglas-Olen Ray, who is Fred's son and now it all makes so much more sense. Hey - I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I wish there were more movies where soldiers fought to free mechanical monsters who can pick up a megalodon and throw it at a satellite that's shooting a laser.
If you like your jetfighters as stock footage, your monsters rubbery yet made in CGI and great posters, well, this movie is for you. Actually, it's for me, because this is exactly the kind of movie I revel in. If only we couldn't find a secret Italian lab that has the robotic form of Bruno Mattei hidden away so that he could make so many more of these shark movies. Let's Go Fund that!
