I watched the trailer, and what I’m confused about is why do they have to kill the shark?

 

Sure it’s a monster movie, shouldn’t logic your way through it, but it doesn’t make much sense.  Plus, it’s counter to what we should actually do if we discovered a species that was on the bridge of extinction.

Well, this shark eats people, whales and everything it can find. It is a biblical disaster.

Yeah, that much I get. What I don't get myself is where was it all this time and why is it a menace only now? I wonder if that's explained at all in the movie or books?

Didn't care about this movie.

 

Trailer makes me interested. So...opening weekend.

Deep Blue Sea will still be the best fun shark movie (since this doesn't seem to be taking itself seriously). No thanks again, can wait to watch it at home just like Rampage.

After the trailer played tonight my wife was like:

 

”Serioulsy! How many damn shark movies are they gonna make?!” Lol

[Ozymandias]

Since this has a huge budget aiming for the widest possible audience, it won't be as entertaining Deep Blue Sea or as schlocky as Piranha 3D.

this is partly made with Chinese production so my bet is it makes up for that with the extensive creature feature element (China loves big monster, never count that out).

 

So it partially an underwater Jurassic World too imo.

it appears that the trailer premiered about 1 week before the Summer Game predictions were due.  I thought it would be funny if the trailer was released AFTER the Summer Game predictions were due.

I'm way too excited for this movie lol it just looks like complete dumb fun

[Krissykins]

I’m really looking forward to this now too. 

 

I hope its as fun as Piranha 3D. 

[Brainbug]

Still my 2nd most anticipated movie of the year. I dont care if it gets 0% on RT, i will have endless fun with this one. I mean, its Jason Statham vs a big shark.

[StevenG]

^^^Correction...it is Jason Statham kicking shark ass (which might actually happen literally). 

I am sold.
