Goofs:
Continuity: The above water fences were shown to be of the chain-link variety. Which is wire strands bent in a zig-zag pattern and interlinked to form a diamond pattern. However, when it was revealed that the sharks were sinking the facility to escape through the weaker, above water fences, the fence that the shark was tearing apart had a square pattern (resembling the flexible, titanium underwater fence), and the shark was pulling long, straight strands out of the fence. more

A CGI Masterpiece, 19 April 2008
6/10
Author: alexkolokotronis from Queens, New York

This is true but that doesn't mean it was a great movie. The effects were just simply great, especially for a shark movie. Definitely ahead of the Jaws series and almost everything else in terms of effects.

The directing was not great but it was not bad. Harlin does enough to keep you entertained the whole movie but that is about it. Don't expect some Spielberg Jaws masterpiece. What pushed it to above average was the one kill scene that you will never see coming. His directing probably made it more funny than scary. That is not horrible though. I won't say who though. The acting was average. This is not a superb cast but that shouldn't be too shocking if you look at the storyline. Nothing else is really worth talking about in the technical aspects.

Just watch it and you will see why it is just a CGI masterpiece.
