![]() Most bosses, like Curtis, are just standard humans with a big gun, which I actually kind of appreciate. And shark hunter bosses only arrive when you've driven up your threat level by killing loads of generic hunters. Human shark hunters show up when you begin terrorizing other humans, which gives you a GTA-like wanted level. Humans scream, animals struggle, blood fills the water and coats beaches and boats Then I just floated there and slowly chewed him to death. I defeated Moby Dick by ramming him into the sea floor, where he got stuck. The orca boss wouldn't pursue me when I went to eat fish to regain my health, meaning it was easy to whittle him down to bloody chunks. But combat and enemy AI in Maneater is pretty sloppy, and I eventually abandoned careful evasion and timed strikes when I discovered that just spamming my attacks worked far better. There are quests to kill single large predators, too, like a gator, barracuda, or a fellow shark, and more difficult battles against apex predators like an orca in a Sea World-like arena and an ancient sperm whale based on Moby Dick. But doing it again and again (and again), the gruesome novelty wears off quickly and it becomes a mindless exercise. Thrashing your shark's head by wiggling the mouse back and forth while holding your prey quickly reduces them to a cloud of chum. Humans scream, animals struggle, blood fills the water and coats beaches and boats. Eating 10 of something-humans, turtles, fish, seals, other sharks-is initially fun. MANEATER hits theaters and VOD Friday, August 26th, 2022! It’s definitely worth your time.There's a lot of appeal in growing from a little fish to a hulking leviathan, but there's just not enough variation in the things you do along the way. Let me just say – I NEED THOSE MOVIES! He’s the best character in the entire film. In the end, the film totally sets up the possibility of Harlan having more shark hunting adventures. Is this a possible way to turn him into an actual pirate to join Harlan? Can we let someone else survive? It’s also not totally clear if West’s character survives in the end. Let’s branch out people!Īlso, the blonde always lives. What about a Mako Shark? I’d even take a Black Tip or Bull Shark. ![]() I’d even settle for a Sand Tiger Shark, they like the shallows. There are so many other sharks more terrifying! For example, the Tiger Shark. I’m so over the sharks in these films being Great Whites. My issue with the shark is it’s a Great White. We have all learned from Jaws that salt water and animatronics do not mix. The shark is CGI, which doesn’t bother me. Jessie’s broken heart has zero to do with anything. It could’ve just been friends on vacation and had the same story. Also, the storyline about Jessie going on his would-be honeymoon with her friends was totally unnecessary. Honestly, the least believable thing about this movie is the fact that not one of these characters wanted to sleep with Shane West. They’re picking them off one by one only to have it all culminate together in epic proportions! HOW COULD THE FILM HAVE BEEN BETTER? Typically, a shark murders someone in front of the other characters. Something I LOVED about this film that makes it different from other shark movies is no one is killed in front of anyone else for a while. The group revolves around Jessie ( Nicky Whelan) who goes on what was supposed to be her honeymoon with her best friends. While Harlan is doing that, we meet our hot people. So, Harlan sets off on his own revenge journey to take out the shark that destroyed his family. ![]() Sadly, but not surprisingly, she is dismembered by the shark. We meet Harlan as he’s saying goodbye to his daughter who’s heading off to surf. I’ve also decided that this film is 100% a prequel, and once you realize the story is about Harlan (Adkins) and not the hot people it all makes more sense. I found myself laughing, and cheering the whole time. While MANEATER isn’t mindblowing by any means, it’s a great time! The story wastes no time setting up exactly what this film is going to be and never lets up on that promise. It’s easy to be pretentious when it comes to shark movies, but I guarantee if you look back at ones once deemed epic, you’ll realize they are not as good as you remember. The film tells the story of a group of friends who head off to a beautiful island only to be terrorized by a Great White Shark who likes to play with its food. MANEATER stars Shane West ( Gotham) and Country Star Trace Adkins.
