Bait


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes
Watched With: Tyler

Sharks in a supermarket. Should have been more fun for such a b-grade concept. The script was extra b-grade. And the accents alone were enough to make me throw up in my mouth a little. Please be Australia OR American, just pick one.

I don't know what Dan Wyllie thought he was doing but he seemed to be going with a completely different tone to everybody else. If he was purposefully trying to make his deliveries as bad as possible like I think he was, then he succeeded.

It's nice they went to the effort of shooting in 3d, but if they have to use 2d cameras for outdoor water scenes, they needed a much better post conversion plan in place. After watching 3 films in 3d at the cinema in a row, nothing was a problem except for the handful of shots in this film that were obviously given fake 3d in post.

I wanted to like this film, but it just wasn't fun or scary and with few exceptions, every character was horribly written and far too few of them died. I wish Piranha 3DD was getting a cinema release rather than this...
