What starts off as a typical day on the streets of Seattle soon becomes a terrifying bloodbath, when a great white shark devours an alien space probe…and ROBOSHARK is born. The U.S. military comes after it with guns blazing, but it’s the power of social media that puts an ambitious newscaster and her tech-savvy daughter ahead of everyone else in the race to stop the destruction.

Gafri Ariansyah Roboshark is a comedy horror film in 2015. It tells the story of a shark that accidentally eats a stone from outer space, it turns out to belong to an alien from another planet, it turns into a roboshark, in another place a woman who works as a reporter, helped by a daughter and the cameraman, they started hunting roboshark. This movie is ridiculous, weird, and has a lot of very annoying characters plus very bad acting ... Making this movie really bad.
tlm557 Very bad actors, as if no one in this has any experience at all. Very bad "jokes". They seem like they are supposed to be jokes but they are not funny. Very bad editing and lots of obvious mistakes. One guy tells a group in his office to take care of something. A few seconds later, he calls that same group and tells them to do the same thing again. Lots of lame dialog and bad references to other movies. Of the entire movie, there was really only one moment that I thought was even a little bit funny - and that was the way they did the effect on the strings of a guy's hoodie. Very bad special effects. I've seen many movies from the 1950's and 1960's with much better effects.
Peter John Fudpucker Right away I knew that when you cast, Nigel Barber (Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!) into any movie, you are shooting for another campy movie success. What SyFy does lately is push out this camp more than ever. What SyFy failed to remember is what really made "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! (1978)" successful... Elvia (Cassandra Peterson) who hosted the movie on her late night TV show back in the day.No one is going to sit and yuck it up at those movies without some late night horror host rifting on it. We watched the campy movies because of Elvira's "Movie Macabre", Joel Hodgson's "Mystery Science Theater 3000", Count Gore de Vol, or Karlos Borloff. This made the campy horror sci-fi movie watchable.SyFy needs STOP cranking out the camp. They use to have a lot better programming on in the late 1990s. Remember series like Farscape, The Invisible Man, Battlestar Galactica, Good vs. Evil, and Eureka? Their movies were also about space and fantasy. Every now and then SyFy network CEO comes along with a new bright idea and we get only the one flavor. The network has these bad phases. Let's do nothing but ghost busting reality TV! Oh great idea...This movie is the product of a company who thinks, if one campy shark movie is deemed a success, more will be a gold rush.
GL84 After ingesting an alien sentinel, a Great White Shark turns into a robotic, armored machine and begins a rampage of destruction across Seattle and forcing a reporter and her daughter to find it's purpose on Earth and stop it.This is right at the top of the Sci-Fi Channel's best creature features. What really impresses about this one is the far more adept and post- modern story at play here, managing to come off smarter and more self- aware about it's origins without making it a distraction or a running joke throughout the story. The ever-present social media here, from the YouTube video of the opening plane attack that no one believes, to the helmet-cam footage of the opening attack and the later ability of capturing the creatures' rampage on video and letting it spread around the world in order to get the official word out since there's no other survivors of the attacks, is an excellent ploy about modern society and the state of the world with everyone commenting and liking the story enough to finally understand the real motivations behind the accidents. It even manages to go into the absurd realm in the later half with the Twitter updates and feeds there that not only make this unbelievably cheesy and smart but also inject a far more sympathetic light on the creature and really give it a heart despite the fact that it's an emotionless robot until then, and that turn is ingenious in it's execution. Likewise, the fact that there's so much action here is another stand-out factor, with spectacular highlights in the opening coffee shop attack, the strike at the sewage plant and the a fantastic shootout at a mall that all come off really well, and the later scenes of it appearing in the park, down in the school's swimming pool and the final ambush at the Space Needle and the park surrounding it make for plenty of fun with the creatures' still-destructive antics, plenty of outstanding military attacks that bring along plenty of action and the need to keep the family members in check and out of harm's way provides some thrilling suspense to keep the action centered along nicely on the usual flair for cheesy spectacle. That leads into the film's other positive point here, as this one also manages to contain the ever- present level of cheese here with the initial motivation for the creature's biological change, it's overall design and the running jokes here with the celebrity impersonator appearing but also for the early feature of having a shark swimming along in the city's sewage pipes without it being detected despite a creature of that size being able to move through there as fast as it does, not to mention how in the first place. While the CGI might not be the best, this is still one of the best entries produced here.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Language.
