Belated Movie Reviews

The shark tip-toed into the room. The door creaked, and Kolossus turned, startled. He didn’t remember that door!

Mega Shark vs. Kolossus (2015), the fourth in a series unfamiliar to me, is a wretched piece of work, but at least it has the basics of a plot – attempt to kill the eponymous shark, fail, losses, another attempt, more payment, that sort of thing. All logical in context.

But details matter, and here the details are silly. We could compare to an old favorite, Pacific Rim (2013), which also features sea monsters and robots – and is way beyond this. But the latter had believable characters, and this does not. It’s populated by tired cliches.

Don’t waste your time.
