Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Michael O'Keefe The SyFy original in 2010 is basically repeated...kind of. Kevin O'Neill directs and the one and only Roger Corman produces. After the original Sharktopus is destroyed, an egg sack is among the bits and pieces left floating in the ocean. Lorena Christmas(Katie Savoy)is in charge of the reconstructed offspring homed at a greedy uncle's aquarium. At the same time, egomoniacal Dr. Symes(Robert Caradine)is creating a lethal biological weapon after harvesting a pterodactyl's DNA and fuses it with DNA of a barracuda, calling it Pteracuda! The newly created monster will be able to menace air, land and sea. While on its maiden test flight, it is hijacked by a greedy hacker and is set free to search for food. Dr. Symes and his bodyguard(Rib Hillis)must convince Miss Christmas that Sharktopus is the only thing to interrupt the Pteracuda's rampage.Also in the cast: Hector Then, Akari Endo, Tony Evangelista and Mario Arturo Hernandez. A cameo performance finds Conan O'Brien in his acting debut getting his head bitten off by Sharktopus and then being used as a blood squirting volleyball.
Paul Magne Haakonsen I will just start off with saying that if you enjoyed the first "Sharktopus" movie, then you will also enjoy this one. Or if you enjoy these cheesy monstrous predator movies, then chances are you will find some entertainment in "Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda".The storyline is essentially the same as it always is in these particular type of movies; a scientist of sorts have created a monstrous species of hybrid by mixing two species of predators. And as luck will have it, what they thought they could control runs amok and starts killing people.The first "Sharktopus" movie was campy and cheesy, and "Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda" is right up alongside with it. And this is the type of movie that you just sit back, laugh at and enjoy for what it is; senseless storyline and b-movie entertainment.And apparently there is another "Sharktopus" movie on the way.Anyway, I wonder who sits at the drawing boards and comes up with these ideas. I mean a half shark and half octopus, at least that makes sense in some bizarre way. But a half pterodactyl and half barracuda. Why? It is just so stupid.As with the first movie, you know exactly what you get here. A silly storyline with questionable CGI effects. And to top it off, the creatures make these really awful screeching noises.The acting in the movie was as to be expected for a movie of this type."Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda" scores a 3 out of 10 stars, just as I rated the first "Sharktopus" movie.
SanteeFats Well I doubt I'll watch this one again but it wasn't as bad as I expected for a SyFy made movie. The opening scene with the biologist taking samples and pulling up an egg sac was so wrong when she said it could be from a Great White. They pup live young, octopi do the egg sac thing. Robert Carradine is very good in his character, a little insouciant, pragmatic, rich, and just good. Conan O'Brien looks very old in his, thank goodness, brief appearance. So anyway after the bird-fish goes bananas and Carradine bribes the owner to release the sharktopus to counter act it, Ha Ha, things go as you would expect. Blood, dead people, violence, more dead people, the creatures hunting each other when they aren't eating people, very predictable. I thought the sharktopus was suppose to only go hunting the flying fish thing when it was implanted but it slaughters as many people as the fishy thing. This is all started by an apparent Russian agent working as a slimy mercenary, who has high jacked the birdyfish's control signals. The interaction between the biologist who worked with sharky and her lifeguard boyfriend is kinda funny, at least at times. They find the mercenary, he escapes through some badly written scene, they track him, wound him, and the birdy thing rips his arm off, he dies, a fitting end. Carradine's end epitomizes poetic justice. The end when it finally comes is predictable and trite. The two creatures plunge to the depths with a bomb in the birdy, it blows up, both appear to die, but then just before it is over guess what shows up?? (hey gotta leave room for another darn sequel).
crzy_girl_15 If this wasn't a joke, it was sad. The CGI sucked. The writing was awful. By the end of the first hour, there was a dent in the wall from me hitting my head on it. Someone created a shark/octopus hybrid. Someone else created a pterodactyl/barracuda hybrid. Then they both escaped. Now they have to battle to the death in an extremely predictable sci-fi way. The only thing amazing about this movie is that someone funded it.If you can't guess the entire plot from the first five minutes, you deserve to watch the rest of it. Do you like your remaining brain cells? Then avoid this at all cost. Please don't watch this. Even for a bad movie it sucks. I want my two hours back.
