Gifted film director Christopher Ray breathes new life into the saga of a gigantic crocodile set loose by miners in the Congo. With originality and a sharp creative flair, Ray creates an atmosphere of such realism that the story becomes very plausible. A superb screenplay penned by Naomi Selfman is very intelligent and contains some well defined characters who behave quite rationally in the face of the notorious mega-shark and the crocasaurus causing utter mayhem and threatening to destroy all mankind has worked centuries to create. This is an outstanding tribute to the United States Navy and the vital mission of that sterling service to protect the citizens of this country and the world. Robert Picardo is perfect as a Navy admiral who take that mission to hear and does his duty in the face of impossible odds.

As a fan of this genre of films, I must say, this took it to another level. Not Sharknado levels, but just a notch below it. I am not one to provide spoilers, esp when I believe I've witnessed a cinematic masterpiece that one must experience w/ a free & clear mind. I love these films. My girlfriend doesn't quite get it, but I can't help it. These movies are supposed to kinda suck, that's what makes them great. If they had big budgets, w/ extraordinary special effects & A-list actors from the Hollywood elite, I'd probably hate every one of them. Watch. Enjoy. Marvel at its greatness. Become a believer. Long live SyFy.

To say this film is perfect would be an understatement. From the flawless acting, incredible CGI and impeccable script (my personal favourite section of dialogue being: -If they miss! If they hit a volcanic feature! -Then all of Hawaii will be devastated.) it is easy to see why this is claiming a spot on SyFy's prestigious listing of films that it boasts as part of it's TV Guide. Now if you are in for a fun filled ride that involves repeated shots of a giant crocodile (it claims crocosaurus, but its just a giant crocodile, the one flaw in this film) and a Megaldon 69ing ('fighting') whilst people jump between submarine to helicopter to discuss it, then this is without a doubt the film for you.

Following a series of strange reports, the US Navy hires a shark expert who finds that a gigantic crocodile is loose and laying eggs along the coastal shores and lures a massive great white shark to the creature to have them battle to the death in order to keep them from endangering the public.While there's a lot to like considering all the cheese on display, this is still a slight disappointment. Again, what's to like with this one is the multitude of action scenes on display here which features all the typical creature encounters that are so much fun. The shorter encounter here, as per usual here is great as the shark gets a fantastic opening scene here taking down a Navy Destroyer as well as the tests with the testing stages while the croc gets the impressive attack on the diamond mine and the boat-escape which provide this one with all kinds of exciting scenes. Still, what really helps here is the cheese on display, as the action on-screen from the tons of creature scenes makes this one enjoyable featuring the utter fun of their fight over the eggs along the shoreline, an extended Navy battle out at sea and a great series of lengthy battles at sea when it gets to it as the main highlights come from two big, cheesy action scenes. This one, though, really gets over- the-top and incredibly enjoyable from the CGI action of having two cheese-filled scenes with the rampage through the fleeing city resulting in outstanding action from the military trying to control it and the secondary scenes showing their battle all the way from the destruction of the Panama Canal out into the middle of the Pacific Ocean is overwhelmingly awesome. Added together with a lame storyline perfect for this kind of action, and it makes for the film's best points yet has one key fundamental flaw. The one factor about this one is the fact that what happens between the two creatures rarely, if ever, matches up to the scenarios presented in the dialog because it rarely matches up to the action as it repeats shots needlessly despite what else is happening on-screen. This also has the traditional utterly terrible CGI that comes into play, and in conjunction with those other issues, really strikes this one as lower than it should be.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.
