I could see at the end of the trailer how they were setting up for the sequel: **Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus On A Plane On Top Of The Towering Inferno Earthquake Armageddon Terminator Across the 9th Configuration of the 8th Dimension (in 3-D)** ---

That movie looks so terrible it circled around and kicked great in the back of the head. 😛 Seriously, it looks like it’ll be the right balance of bad and cheesy. ---

Is this actually getting theatrical release? Because
I have to admit, I’ll pay the $5 to catch this at a matinĂ©e. It looks like twice the lolz of **Shark Attack 3: Megaladon** , which is probably the funniest/dumbest movie I have ever seen. ---

Ok, I’m going to be honest. I got stoned last night and downloaded this movie off the net. Goddamn was it terrible. The cgi effects were pathetic. I not sure what the highlight of the film was; either the shark taking down the airplane, or the shark biting the Golden Gate bridge in half. Debbie Gibson was cute in this, I was a bit shocked to find out her age. ---
