Storyline

In the wake of the deadly confrontation between monster and metal in Mega Shark vs. Mecha Shark (2014), yet another Megalodon sees the light of day after the Russians' shady drilling operation for extremely potent crystals of red mercury. As a result, the gigantic Cold-War robot of mass destruction, Kolossus, wakes up from hibernation, while, elsewhere, Dr Alison Gray is struggling to come up with a way to contain the unstoppable underwater menace. Sooner or later, nature's most effective killer and man's deadliest creation will cross paths, and then, there's no telling what these two killing machines can do. Who shall live and who shall die after the final battle between Mega Shark and Kolossus?

The USS Hartung is supposed to be in open sea when confronting the Mega Shark, and the external shots show it is. However the shots from the bridge clearly show that the ship is in harbor and not moving at all.

User Reviews

Great! If you take it in the spirit it was made...

You could try and rate this movie by realism, acting prowess of the cast, and the excellence of the story. But that's like trying to rate the Shawshank Redemption by the amount of comedy, and its suitableness for kids.

This is a mega-monster parody.

It's the kind of movie you watch with your friends while laughing and generally having a good time. And its excellent at that. The movie is chock full of action sequences, special effects and interesting twists that keep your attention. At the same time, it doesn't make the mistake of taking itself too seriously with the drama and art.

The acting is not great, but good enough to prevent you from gouging your eyes out. The characters are likable clichés from all of your favourite movies. And the story makes sense almost half of the time.

You don't HAVE to see this movie. But if you're looking for something fun to watch that's not too heavy; this is as good a choice as any.
