Made for television movies are a hit or miss. The nice ones that try to teach the kids a lesson and then there are movies like this one, starring Deborah Gibson and Lorenzo Llamas. Deborah Gibson, a.k.a. Debbie Gibson, is a marine biologist that has stolen a mini-sub to do some research in northern waters. Unbeknown to her, she witnesses these two creatures locked in an epic battle, but frozen in solid ice.
There is a situation that unleashed the Mega Shark and the Giant Octopus from their frozen jail and they are once again free to roam the waters of the world. But don't get worried, Debbie Gibson is on the case.
The team of marine biologists and naval vessels try to lure the creatures with pheromones so that they can possibly be destroyed. There is a scene where they are trying to come up with the chemical to lure the creatures is fabulously ridiculous. The pheromones work, but they cannot destroy either one. So they have to go with more drastic measures, have the Mega Shark battle the Giant Octopus in a one on one death match to the finish. Obviously, the team doesn't think about the possibilities of what to do with the winner. Do I smell a sequel? Jeez! I hope not.
Unreal destruction: C-
While the Mega Shark jumped out of the ocean to catch a jumbo jet in mid flight and also chomped the Golden Gate Bridge, the quality of the destruction was just brutally low. In fact, I have just given two of the four major destruction scenes away.
Violence: F-
None to speak of. Human casualties at a minimum.
Unneeded Sex: D
While there was a scene of totally unnecessary sex, there was no nudity.
This movie fails on every level. The friggin' octopus was such a disappointment. Same for the shark, but at least the shark ate part of the Golden Gate Bridge.
I give it 1 out of 5 giant octopus
