Viewer Quotes:

Oh, so she didn’t use the harpoon to shoot the shark but instead to almost shoot David and have him grab it… ok
They are using the same footage whenever they shoot the base so drink whenever you see it
Ahh so all scientists know all the different shark types — And the nicknames for them‽‽
They are making SO, SO many assumptions
Irish-y, Canadian, Amish…?? (About Aput’s accent)
What is his leg stuffed with?
*Camera zooms in on bolt cutters* — I’m sure those won’t come back later — Chekhov’s bolt cutters?
“We have to get out of here and seal the room” — Don’t introduce more animals, how are seals going to fix this?
What are the sharks doing? — They are having trouble rendering I think…
Are they sinking to the bottom? — I’m sure this facility was designed to operate underwater…
They are having a kiki, they’ve locked the doors and lowered the blinds
When they heard the door open they all acted like “Oh no is it the shark, oh no, it’s just our guy”
They sure love those bubble animations
That’s the best shade I’ve seen thrown at a coworker “Besides, you need to stay here to monitor the situation. You’re the best at that.”
I told you it was an “Up” situation, there are balloons

Things we learned:

They saved money on the special effect by combining it with the catering services (the “meat” used for his leg getting bitten off)
Movie scientists are idiots (but also know all about sharks?)
You can be exposed to freezing water and be fine
Don’t try to raise a laboratory with a helicopter when you have a crane on your boat
Apparently sharks are the one creature on this planet that can mutate to survive everywhere

Final Take:

Why are they swimming so far away from the lab? We kind of wish the sharks had eaten them all, we were cheering for them in the end.
