Planet of the Sharks (2016)
In a dystopian future where global warming has melted the ice caps, Earth’s landmasses have been submerged, leaving humanity to fight for survival on the remaining scraps of land. Amidst the chaos, sharks have evolved and now dominate the oceans, forming a massive, coordinated school led by a mutated alpha shark. As the world’s survivors fight to reclaim their dwindling territory, they must contend not only with the ocean’s deadliest predators but also the terrifying new order that the sharks have established. In this high-stakes battle for survival, the remaining humans must fight back or face extinction.
"Planet of the Sharks" (2016) is a low-budget sci-fi horror film that tries to capitalize on the popularity of shark-themed creature features but struggles with a thin plot and uneven execution. The story involves a team encountering prehistoric sharks that threaten their survival, blending typical monster movie thrills with a touch of sci-fi. The film’s production quality is modest, with CGI effects that often appear dated or unconvincing, which can detract from the suspense. Acting performances vary widely, with some cast members delivering surprisingly earnest portrayals, while others feel less engaged. Despite its shortcomings, Planet of the Sharks offers occasional moments of fun for fans of campy creature features and shark movies. The pacing is brisk, and the film doesn’t take itself too seriously, which can make it an entertaining watch if you’re in the right mood. Overall, it’s a film best enjoyed as a guilty pleasure or a B-movie curiosity rather than a serious thriller or horror masterpiece.
