Here’s another $5 Wal-Mart Special. And for good reason, too.
Former pop singer Debbie (oops, sorry, make that DEBORAH) Gibson “stars” as a scientist with a love of the deep blue sea.
While on an undersea cruise, Deborah thinks she see a prehistoric shark and octopus released from an icy prison where they had been trapped for millions of years. Turns out she was right. Each beast goes its own way but are lured together to fight to the death in the film’s climax. This after all of man’s attempts to kill them had failed.
It’s a pretty ho-hum movie.
Best thing about it, though, was the Mega Shark flying completely out of the water, through the clouds and taking a jumbo jet down to its feeding ground far below the surface of the water. This happens just after a flight attendant assures the passengers that everything was ok, that they were just experiencing turbulence.
Worst thing about the movie: the so-called “acting” of Deborah Gibson and Lorenzo Lamas. Lamas should have put forth more of an effort and Gibson really doesn’t have the theatrical chops for this sort of thing. It kept running through my mind as I was watching this movie that I would liked to have handed a paper bag to Ms. Gibson and ask her act her way out of it. If she had tried to do that I believe she would have suffocated.
Deborah, please “Shake Your Love” somewhere else and stay out of the movies, will you, dear? The whole world will thank you.
