      [Condor Airlines 747 experiences some turbulence while at 30,000 feet in the air. As a female passenger is advised by a flight attendant to put her seatback up, her fiancé is jolted by the sudden change in turbulence and he gets up]

      Nervous Air Passenger: Whoa!

      Flight Attendent: Please sit down, sir. It's just an air pocket. Thank you.

      Nervous Air Passenger: We're getting married in two days.

      Flight Attendent: You'll be fine.

      Airline Captain: [On the intercom] All right, folks, please fasten your seat belts.

      [as the 747 flies through the clouds, the male passenger suddenly looks out the window]

      Nervous Air Passenger: Holy shit!

      [the Megalodon jumps up from the sea to catch the 747]

    This movie needs 20 minutes to watch
    This movie needs around 20 minutes to watch. The reason for that is, that you will hit the fast forward button every time when the scenes switch from totally stupid and boring to totally meaningless and very boring. This happens every two minutes.

    80% of the movie is just cuts from some nature movies where you can see fishes and some water and ice. Between that scenes a few "actors" are talking without any motivation through a script which was sure written by a 8 year old kid.

    There are a few scenes where you can see a shark eating a plane, a bridge, a battleship and a submarine and a octopus crushing a oil drilling platform and an other submarine. (thats the whole storyline, sorry for that spoiler) Well if you reproduce the same scenes with a few toy ships and a sock puppet painted like a shark it will look more realistic and much more amusing.

    Do not waste you're live time with watching only one minute of that movie. This is not that kind of B movie which is funny because of all the logic failures in it. This movie is that bad, that it is affront of the director against the audience.
