This is supposed to be a sci-fi creature horror in the same ilk as the first two; however, it quickly becomes a soap opera.
The premise of a bunch of scientists on a floating island (the same plot device as the first two movies) studying sharks when a group of angry guys and one familiar guy turns up. This instantly bothers "Shaw" who has been circling around the main scientist lady waiting for his turn to mate, which is now in jeopardy because the new hunky scientist guy is the ex flame of the pretty scientist girl.
This is literally the only tension that is created in the first part of the movie and it's all about some guy feeling he has a mating right to a female of his choosing. Then the tension gets doubled when it's revealed the all muscle and no brains Aussie henchman is a wannabe serial killer and more interested in just losing his sanity with no explanation and just starts trying to murder everyone on the island.
Notice the lack of sharks in this review? That's because there's a general lack of sharks in the movie who only show up to kill people when you're fully expecting them to do so in the most predictable way.
The sharks play maybe 3rd fiddle in this ok movie. The plot is predictable if not a lot contrived with very little making sense. The only death that isn't predictable is the random suicide of hunky scientist and it's not predictable because it makes zero sense in relation to the story; although I'm sure this made "Shaw" happy as he maybe thought his mating rights had been secured.
