| PopMattersBill GibronSchlock may be an acquired taste, like caviar, foie gras, and Arby's, but it's hard to see how anyone wouldn't enjoy this extremely tacky dish. |
| CinefantastiqueSteve BiodrowskiIf ever there was a film that seemed designed with Mystery Science Theater 3000 in mind, this is it. |
| Time OutTom HuddlestoneHow could one hate a film where a giant shark jumps out of the sea and brings down a plane? |
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanDaft, plain daft. With a few daft but spectacular stunts. |
| Little White LiesAdam WoodwardFor those of you familiar with the trailer, you may as well stop here because you've already seen the best bits, pretty much in their entirety. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineSo simplistically done that it makes you feel like you could make a better movie than this on your home computer |
| Times (UK)Wendy IdeThis film is bad on every level. In fact, it's bad on levels hitherto unexplored by mainstream cinema. |
| Film4Jon FortgangPerez's film ought to be an hour-and-a-half of beery, dumb-ass fun. Instead it has the weary air of a genuinely disastrous disaster movie. Size, it seems, matters after all. |
| News of the WorldRobbie CollinSo bad, it's gone past good, hung a left at awful, went screaming down hackwork highway for 50 miles and ended up somewhere in the vicinity of terrible- but-actually-quite-good-fun. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerThe acting is terrible (and not in a good way), the script is boring and if you've seen the trailer you've already seen all the effects shots. |
