Warning: Spoilers
I'd seen the Jaws sequels, Sharknado, Mega Shark, The Meg, and the "Baby Shark" music video (annoyingly catchy). Well, then I found this bad shark movie, made for TV, to sink my teeth into. Basically, an alien ship comes into earth orbit to drop a probe. The probe lands in the ocean, only to be eaten by a Great White. The alien technology inside the probe transforms the shark into a mechanical alien robotic monster, it has now become Roboshark. After devouring a nuclear submarine and its crew nearby, Roboshark heads to Seattle to wreak havoc. Soon enough, the actions of Roboshark are being filmed and tweeted about all over the world. With the devastation going viral, reporter Trish (Alexis Peterman), who is usually a weather girl, along with her crew is urging to be first on the scene to capture and stop the destruction. Trish's cowardly husband Rick (Matt Rippy) is dragged into the chaos by Admiral Black (Nigel Barber), who is determined to stop Roboshark at any cost, even if it means destroying the city. But Trish and Rick's daughter Melody (Vanessa Grasse), an avid social media user, realises that Roboshark is active on social media, they use its communications to keep track of it. It all concludes at Seattle's most famous landmark, the Space Needle observation tower. In the end, the tower is almost destroyed, but Roboshark is defeated, and Trish, Melody and Rick are reunited, but the alien technology may still be present, as a little dog may have been transformed. Also starring Isaac Haig as Louie, Laura Dale as Veronica Viola, Vlado Mihailov as Erik, Derek Morse as Chief Xavier, Kicker Robinson as Commander Sumner and Steve Sires as Bill Glates (a spoof Bil Gates character). There's not much to say, the acting is naff, especially Rippy as the irritatingly over-the-top wimp, the story is absolutely ridiculous, and the special effects are excruciating, it may make you titter at how bad it is, but I wouldn't bother with it again, a terrible science-fiction comedy horror. Poor!
