I totally blame the SyFy channel (where I watched this wonderful cinematic masterpiece this afternoon....after 3 others that numbed my brain....) 'Shark Week' doesn't even start for a couple more weeks, and they already have me hooked! Let's be real: as a movie, this one SUCKS. But pop some popcorn, pick up some (really strong) adult beverages, and just enjoy the train wreck that is "Malibu Shark Attack".SPOILER ALERT: not sure why it took 1/2-hour for the tsunami to (finally) hit...(and did not appreciate the 'newscaster's comparison to the REAL tsunami that hit Indonesia in 2004). But the horribly-fake computer-generated tsunami appears well after the horribly-fake computer-generated "sharks". The heroes, stuck in one hell of a sturdy lifeguard shack, make you root for the sharks -- from the bleach-blonde teen bimbo to the newly-engaged couple who have NO chemistry. At all. Horribly fake CPR...horribly fake "stitches".... They even use horribly fake "Jaws"-esque music. AND I COULDN'T TURN THE STUPID MOVIE OFF.

An earthquake and subsequent tsunami results in a gang of hungry "Goblin Sharks" from Earth's ancient history being released. They have a pointy forehead, which is a cool look; however, the special effects do not compliment these critters. The hardest hit area is Malibu, where lifeguards struggle for survival. The main focus is on Warren Christie (as Pete) and Peta Wilson (as Heather). She seems to be experiencing a mid-life crisis and wonders if she should leave Mr. Christie for contractor Jeff Gannon (as Colin). Younger hunk Remi Broadway (as Doug) and sexy bikini-clad Chelan Simmons (as Jenny) are an attractive supporting couple. Looking up the budget during the running reveals this was made for an estimated $3 million. This does not seem possible, although director David Lister has a couple of good scenes when his cast has to fight sharks in a building half-filled with water.*** Malibu Shark Attack (7/25/09) David Lister ~ Warren Christie, Peta Wilson, Remi Broadway, Chelan Simmons

...Looking men in this movie! It is amazing how good looking some of them are. Despite the poor acting, lousy special effects and completely dumb plot (even for a B Movie...) how it all seems to melt away looking at all the gorgeous looking male hunks in this movie. We find ourselves here at home watching this movie over and over, always rooting for the hunky & handsome pieces of prime beef that dash across our office flat screen TV - the water droplets gleaming on their tanned and muscular torso's is more than enough to keep our attention! Never heard of any of their names, although the girls in the movie are familiar (Go Peta!) The sheer amount of handsome male goodness is almost overwhelming. Man, Remi Broadway can take a chainsaw to my prehistoric shark ANYTIME! Warren Christie needs to move into our spare bedroom for sure. The movie is horrible, but the alpha man-candy is so sweet. 10 Out Of 10 For Actors

"Hey, let's watch some of those really stupid shark attack movies!" This is actually one of the worst idea my mate and I ever brought forward. You have seriously no clue how many of these inane and downright embarrassing shark movies actually exist! In between all the utmost ridiculous sounding titles, like "Dinoshark" and "Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus", this "Jaws in Tsunami" actually looked like one of the more adequate efforts. Wrong again
This is a horrible excuse for a movie, with a laughable plot and deeply irritating people. The basic premise sounds interesting enough, but unless your name is James Cameron or Steven Spielberg, you can't possible gather the required budget to accomplish something like this. An underwater earthquake does not only bring back a bizarre species of goblin sharks that were believed to be extinct, but the subsequent tsunami catapults them straight onto Malibu Beach where they can feast on bimbo bikini babes and beefcake jocks. The funniest thing about this film is the tsunami. When hearing that word, everybody is reminded about the horrible disaster in the Indian Ocean and thinks of enormously devastating tidal waves that destroy and kill everything on their path. The titular tsunami of this film is supposedly very destructive, but the truth is that it doesn't even manage to wash away a wooden beach hut! Either this is the strongest lifeguard hut ever made (perhaps built by David Hasselhoff's bare hands when he was in Malibu to shoot "Baywatch") or it's just the weakest tsunami ever. After the tsunami, a handful of Malibu Beach lifeguards and their annoying boyfriends and girlfriends seek refuge in a beach hut whilst being surrounded by half a dozen of prehistoric and pathetically computer engineered goblin sharks. The cutest and most interesting character of the bunch, Sonya Salomaa, is the first victim to get eaten by the hideous animals and that made it even more difficult to hold an interest in the film. The rest of the cast is quite annoying, including the lead actress with her terribly deep and manly voice and two imbeciles fighting over her. "Jaws in Tsunami" is too serious in tone and the cast members are clearly trying hard to make the script sound believable. All these efforts actually make the film slightly too good to consider as amusing trash. They actually tried! Damned!
