Not a bad movie. I actually enjoyed watching Llamas, playing his usual smarmy ladies man, only this time, he's a scientist searching for Atlantis. He kicks some butt, but not much. He barely has any 'action beats,' so it seemed like he was wasted in this role -- but it was a different type of film for him, so it was worth seeing for fans.
His co-stars tried their best, and while I was genuinely entertained through most of the film, the whole thing is misleading because THE SHARKS DON'T REALLY DO ANYTHING! Sure, they're there (in all their early-2000s CGI glory), but it's not a 'killer shark movie' by any means -- and anyone who say the DVD cover on the shelf at the DVD store back in the day, that's what they expected.
I remember renting this a million years ago on DVD when it first appeared in video stores in '03 -- and while revisiting it was fun, it was unnecessary, as there's far better shark movies out there... With or without Llamas.
Not the worst, but doesn't deliver on its promises.
