From the title alone, it’s clear this movie is going to be ridiculous. But sometimes, even ridiculous movies can be fun — I'm looking at you, Snakes on a Plane. Unfortunately, this one is just plain boring. It drags on and on, and the only real shock is the finale, which is brutal and absolutely worth waiting for.

Ich bin mehr als angenehm überrascht. Es hat mir gefallen, dass der Film bis zum Ende zwischen einer ernst gemeinten und einer ganz absichtlich verrückten Unterhaltung balancierte, dass sein Regisseur eine solide dichte Atmosphäre schaffen kann und dass er keine Angst vor dem ökologischen Unterton hatte, der im unerwarteten – aber großartigen – Finale eine erstaunliche Pointe bekam. Ein zweiter Teil ist wahrscheinlich nicht notwendig, aber andererseits kann man es ja versuchen.

Oh so this is not going to rank with this year's New French Wave and there was a lot of faith in Xavier Gens, who could have saved the eco shark horror after a long time, but who hasn't come up with a quality genre film in years, and instead of a proper shark carnage, he made a sort of activist eco drama? WTF! I don't care that it's stupid and nothing makes sense, but the fact that the shark only appears properly after an hour and the whole time it's just bullshit activism, Gens shat his bed here. For an hour absolutely nothing happens, I don't understand the focus on the story, which nobody cares about anyway, the characters are completely useless, the whole thing takes itself too seriously, so it's unfortunately an incredible bore, which could have been saved by lightness and gore, but even that is lacking. The final 20 minutes didn't offend me, finally something starts to happen and finally the shark shows up, which is digital, but it's honestly the least of the problems here. Next time please another Frontier(s) instead of not these experiments. A big disappointment, but for the finale and the inoffensive underwater shots, at least two stars. 3/10.

That was a cannonade of bullshit. The very beginning, when the sharks mysteriously interfere with the camera signal of the divers, made me sure that this was going to be a big mess. Add to that the mysterious evolution of the shark from its "ordinary" species into some new, higher species, able to reproduce itself, to survive in the fresh water of the Seine and make a "nest" under a Paris building and you have a great cocktail of shitfest that makes you wonder what you're looking at. The characters are brutally simple, there are no laws, rules or believable world (the whole scene with the mayor letting a swimming race be held in the Seine even though she knows about the shark, the sniper squad called in on the shark, a bunch of 10 cops solving this problem on their own and planting explosives under Paris. ..), they all run around as they please and what I definitely can't forgive is the cheap looks of the shark. And the final flood of Paris and the explosions were just the perfect icing on this parody cake - someone must really be fucking with us. Did Xavier Gens do this and Netflix picked it up?? Hah, joke of the year.
