Roboshark is a comedy horror film in 2015. It tells the story of a shark that accidentally eats a stone from outer space, it turns out to belong to an alien from another planet, it turns into a roboshark, in another place a woman who works as a reporter, helped by a daughter and the cameraman, they started hunting roboshark. This movie is ridiculous, weird, and has a lot of very annoying characters plus very bad acting ... Making this movie really bad.

This is one of those that is ridiculously bad enough to be good. Not award earning caliber, but good enough for fun. More smiles than groans anyway. A monster Great White shark happens to eat a chunk of a UFO that falls in the Pacific. Immediately this giant flipper becomes a Roboshark, that by circumstance bumps into an investigative submarine. This makes for an unhappy shark that buzz saws through the Nuclear Sub with its metal teeth. Roboshark goes on the move and prepares for a battle with the US Navy at Seattle's Space Needle.Let some decent special effects make up for the acting and poor dialogue. In the cast: Matt Rippy, Alexis Peterman, Vanessa Grasse, Nigel Barber, Kicker Robinson and Laura Dale.

The plot is pretty simple. A shark, out minding its own business, bites an alien ship and morphs into a shark/robot hybrid that then attempts to destroy Seattle.Roboshark is a family friendly version of the Scyfy ( however they're spelling it now) Monster movie. it has some blood and some people, obviously, are eaten alive by the Roboshark but it's pretty tame. And it's funny. There is plenty of quick, throw-away humor, some subtle and some not so subtle. There's a little eye candy and a touch of suspense. They poke a little fun at Bill Gates.If you are a film buff, you can try and catch the dozen or so movies that are referenced here. The script is peppered with light satire. Basically it has a little something for everyone.Produced by a Bulgarian film company ( BUFO) you can see some store signs sporting the Russian alphabet in some long shots.It's got a relaxed, fun vibe to it. I bet the cast and crew had a good time making it. It's a nice choice for Movie Night for any family with kids maybe 5-ish or over, although for a 5 year old it would skirt the edge of being fairly scary.

The good news is that of the SyFy shark movies, Roboshark is one of the better ones, and among the more tolerable SyFy outings. The not so good news is that that doesn't stop Roboshark from not being particularly good or great.Roboshark is one of SyFy's least amateurish-looking movies, with nice scenery, slicker-than-usual photography and a design for the Roboshark that has some menace and is one of SyFy's cooler- and- less-cheap- looking. The Roboshark is also well-utilised and unlike a lot of SyFy creatures has a personality, a threatening one rather than being too goofy that it brings unintentional humour. The movie clearly knows what it's trying to be and which audience it's aiming for, and in the process doesn't try to do too much while not playing it too safe either, and contains some clever inside jokes and hilarious one-liners. There are also fun performances from Laura Dale and particularly Nigel Barber, the only ones in the cast who show that they can still have fun without overacting, as well as some spirited and confident direction.On the other hand, the rest of the cast wildly overact and in the case of the extras and Matt Rippy to an embarrassing degree, something that really hurts the tension. The characters are barely developed and some are annoying, which makes them difficult to root for, the movie drags a little in the exposition moments and some of the more dramatic parts veer on turgid and ham-fisted. The story is well-intentioned and clearly knows what its aim and audience is, but the silliness gets very over-the-top sometimes that it gets ridiculous (like with the bacon) which gets in the way of generating suspense or tension, and it gets tiring towards the end. Aside from a catchy opening, the movie is generically scored too with not an awful lot standing out as memorable, and while the opening is fun and quite scary the climax of the movie is predictable and rushed..All in all, not great but one of the better and more tolerable SyFy shark movies. A decent guilty pleasure-type movie if you will. 5/10 Bethany Cox
