Listonixio Fresh and Exciting

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

ofpsmith Everyone's made fun of the awful special effects in this movie. To be fair, I didn't watch it with glasses but I've heard that it's not much better if you do. What makes it worse is that these aren't the kind of bad special effects that you have to look for. They hold on them so you can have the ultimate 3-D experience. But because it's not in 3-D they just come across as gimmicky and annoying. And there's a lot of scenes like that. Most of the movie is just bad 3-D. These flaws are enough to distract you from other, more conventional flaws. For one thing, the story is bland, and I mean bland. Jaws gets trapped in Sea World in Orlando, Florida. And before I go any further I just have to dwell on how dumb that marketing trick was. Is that really the coverage you want? On top of that, the characters are all stock. Almost none of them have any personality at all. There's no reason to care about any of these people. The bottom line is that Jaws 3-D is just a mix of awful special effects with a really lazy, uninteresting script thrown in as filler. Any resemblance of tension or suspense that was seen I the first movie is gone. Instead, it's just a hallowed out shell.

tbm1185 I know most people think the last Jaws movie is terrible but, it is a classic compared to this one. There are so many issues with this one and I want to point out some of the highlights or low-lights depending on how you look at it.1. Obviously anybody watching this movie is watching it for the shark but, they could have at least attempted to give some attention to the characters and stories. The only time this movie has your interest at all is when the shark is present. It felt like all the actors/actresses were just going through the motions but, you can't blame them when you consider what they're working with.2. Why was so much of the movie almost pitch black? I realize that it wouldn't be realistic for it to bright underwater, especially at night but, enough light to actually see what is happening would've been nice. There are many scenes where you might as well close your eyes since you can't make anything out. That includes most of the final 10 or 15 minutes and a scene early on that is not even in the water.3. As I stated earlier, you are watching because of the shark but, you don't really see much of it and it's too dark to actually see it most of the time it is on screen.4. This is not so much a complaint as an observation. Watch for a special effect shot at the end that is so bad, it's hard to believe it made it into the movie even if it was a 3-D shot. It's the next to last 3-D shot if I remember correctly.

Timber Toast If you can handle this concept, this film may just turn out to be a fun, little rainy afternoon popcorn flick. I mean, it's filmed in 3-D for starters. If you're going to sit there and critique the cheesy effects and expect them to be on par with the original Jaws, then prepare yourself to be drastically let down. It's flawed, but a fun film. Better than Jaws 4 in my opinion.

Julian R. White I've always been a big fan of the Jaws movies, and pretty much all of the old classic monster flicks. I'm also a shark and marine biology enthusiast as well. That being said, I sure had a lot of problems with this film. My main complaint would be the very poor use of special effects, which was quite unexpected, as previous Jaws films had effects that were quite impressive for their time. It really angered me to see the treatment of the baby shark when it was captured. (Yes, of course I know this is just a film, and the shark was a prop.) The only reason I say that is because the film seemed to not incorporate much scientific fact, if any at all into the Sharks biology and instincts. All in all, it is probably my least favorite of all of the Jaws films. I don't want to say I totally hated the movie, but it was difficult to sit through the entire thing.
