A massive tsunami trigger by an earthquake floods the supermarket
and surrounding areas, killing most of the shoppers instantly. The survivors
find themselves trapped inside the flooded store by a blocked entrance. And they
are not alone as the tidal wave has brought in unwanted guests: tow 12-foot
Great White Shark!
Bait 3D is a fast-paced, fun and moderate gory popcorn film. It differ from the more realistic scares of Open Water and The Reef as there’s more funny element in it it's. It’s probably the best shark movie since the similarly toned Deep Blue Sea produce decade ago (still I think Deep Blue Sea is better in plot & acting).
Although some of the acting is hammy and there’re traces of clunky
lines, the present of blond couple (Lincoln Lewis, Cariba Heine) and their pet
Bully is a big credit to the movie. Also there’s a good balance between horror
and dark humour. Scenes of Bait 3D with
special effects on tsunami and sharks (a mix of CGI and real-world models) is great
as the action is constant and the kills are R-rated and bloody. However instead of digital 3D personally I prefer the old fashion 3D glasses as it would be more awesome seeing sharks just inches away from you..
While the idea of escape by killing the sharks with gun/teaser is
rather lack of imagination leading to minimal in suspense, for me the scene
where Josh (Xavier Samuel) blow up the shark’s head via shotgun is still pretty
cool.. Directed by Kimble Rendall (second unit director for I Robot & Matrix),
while Bait 3D is not very good, but it’s probably a lot better than it could
be. ^__^
