Asylum got lazy with this one, which had a great gimmick, and good ideas.
First, what we needed here, was the Army of Sharks used more. And at better pacing. The first hour is boring talking and silent sailing, while the time could have been used more. Like, for starters, the henchmen needed more screentime, starting with Asian Martial Arists.
Then the nechmen needed consistency. I thought Budget Iggy Pop was the one using the. Power Glove (Avenging Fist was a great movie). But he was into matchete all along, and everyone was using the shark-gloves? And what's with his death? Where was the SECOND shark?
Or what happened to Free Dive Lady? I assume she ended up dead, but...
There was also a big fuss made about releasing and backing the sharks. When Guy swam to the base and Girl withdrawn the sharks, I thought that was made to get dramatic tension.
And later the sharks were just out, not shown?
And where did the big tire come along the 3-tire construct for throwing people to the sharks?
Also, what happened to the submarine? One death could have been someone placing the bombs, then the marine gets crushed by the sharks.
The bombs were never utilized, and they just sank the whole city - that was an option all along?
Coming to the sharks, they just jumped. That got boring quickly. Put some creativity in next time. Rip the arms, or the head! Not just do a tackle.
I also though Girl was the sibling of Boy? Ye, characters were this undeveloped.
I had no problem with the production-value. Not the acting, or the CGI, not even the obvious floating stages (some cheap CGI city-backgorund like in Dinotopia would have been welcomed for some shots of course), and as said the ideas are there - you needed a proofreader to chisel the script, simply said.
