“Dinoshark (2010) u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e* 1/2 (out of 4) u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhen a big ice chunk in the Arctic breaks free, it lets loose a prehistoric shark, which swims down to Mexico where it begins to eat anyone who gets in its way. A couple people (Eric Balfour, Iva Hasperger) decide to try and track it down and kill it after their friend is killed by the beast but a local scientist (Roger Corman) thinks this thing might not be able to be stopped. DINOSHARK is yet another made-for-TV creature flick that manages to be quite boring even though thereu0026#39;s non-stop action and plenty of red stuff to go around. If youu0026#39;ve seen one of these movies then you pretty much know what to expect as weu0026#39;re always given some far-fetched story that really doesnu0026#39;t make too much sense and of course thereu0026#39;s the bad CGI monster that looks so fake that you canu0026#39;t help but not connect to the movie. These type of u0026quot;Bu0026quot; movies have been around for decades but itu0026#39;s pretty amazing that so many of the current ones fail so badly. I think some of the makers of these films need to go back and watch some of the earlier ones and realize that you should just try to have some cheap fun. The characters in this film are so unlikeable that you really donu0026#39;t care about them and this here just hurts the film even more. Even worse is that the story is so silly that itu0026#39;s hard to care about whatu0026#39;s going on and things donu0026#39;t get any better after the opening minutes. The CGI creature looks incredibly bad but this here is to be expected. The gore effects are also mostly CGI and one really wonders if the budget couldnu0026#39;t have been raised a few bucks to where they could have at least bought some fake blood to squirt around instead of having to use CGI. Both Balfour and Hasperger are decent in their parts but neither are given much to work with. What keeps this film moving is Corman who actually gets a pretty good role here. He appears in a good chunk of the picture and while heu0026#39;s not the greatest actor in the world heu0026#39;s at least watchable and itu0026#39;s good to see him in front of the camera again.”
