"Megalodon" is a technical failure. Its visual effects are about four or five years obsolete (minus a couple well-done, but scattered bits). The sound mixing is atrociously amateur. The biggest offense, however, is the editing. Let's just say there are many needless "filler" shots as well as frequently, overly, held out ones. From the start you will question the ineptitude of the filmmakers.
But I will direct this review at fans of underwater terror, being that they will be the few that should happen to read it. Good movies in this sub-genre are hard to find. Of course there isn't always a "Deep Blue Sea" to go see in the theaters, so its fortunate most video stores carry a plethora of shark flicks. As I stated above, this one is by no means a triumph in film-making- but that doesn't make it a bad movie. It moves quickly and nicely leads up to its good scenes. Also, the plausibility of the prehistoric creature is surprisingly well-done. With these good attributes at hand, "Megalodon" is mostly a guilty, fun time. The complications that arise are suspenseful, (if you can withstand genuinely bad CGI effects) but they don't do nearly enough with the good story they have.
With a bigger budget and a better filmmaker, this could have been great. But it isn't...so try and enjoy what you can of this watchable, but obviously generic film.
