Quotes:
- Literally none…
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.
