![]() This is evident when we have two separate scenes of characters diving into the sea to find the shark, and both scenes recycle the same shots. It genuinely feels as if the script fell on the floor, the pages got everywhere, and the movie was filmed in the random order the pages were picked up in. Big Shark has no sense of narrative structure. There will be scenes where the characters are chased by a giant 35-foot shark and a moment later, the shark vanishes and the characters don’t seem perturbed by any of it. Wiseau has no idea how to craft an action set piece. This movie has the most illogical plotting I have ever seen in a movie. She’s like James McAvoy in Split, but it’s not a mental disorder it’s just disorder. ![]() Other times, she is throwing furniture off the roof. Other times, she is mildly regretful of her relationship with Patrick. Sometimes, she’s in love with Patrick and begs for him to come back to her. The lead character, Sophia, has wildly shifting motivations. While The Room has many scenes that don’t add anything to the plot, you can at least say there’s a cohesive narrative with consistent character motivations. I didn’t think I would ever say this, but Big Shark makes The Room look like The Godfather. The tonal shifts are unbelievably drastic. There will be a scene where characters are running from a shark, and then we immediately cut to a scene right after where they’re hanging out and having drinks, followed by a scene of them playing beer pong. Much like The Room, there are many scenes here that add nothing to the story. Many scenes retread information that was already given to us a few scenes ago. It feels like a teenager watched Sharknado and decided to make his own movie with his friends, despite not having seen any other movie in his life. The dialogue is so hilariously horrendous that there is no excuse. This movie feels like it was written by A.I……from 1999. We live in a time where writers are worried about A.I. I want to take the screenplay for this movie and frame it. No self-respecting editor would allow this movie to exist. At least the editing in The Room was half-competent. There are shots that end with characters in the middle of a word in a sentence that we never hear the end of. There are shots that start mid-sentence without us ever hearing how the sentence started. The editing errors are too egregious to be accidental. The world was not ready for this movie, and it has to be seen to be believed. That is precisely as horrifying as it sounds. If The Room was Tommy Wiseau trying to make an Oscar-worthy drama about love, betrayal, and the futility of friendship, Big Shark is Tommy Wiseau trying to make a bad B-movie. Furthermore, the sound of the applause during this particular scene changes volume drastically between shots and sometimes in the middle of shots. It alternates back and forth between these extremes. But in Big Shark, everyone is either so loud that their audio levels are peaking or so quiet that you have to strain to hear what they’re saying. Good sound mixing is something that’s often taken for granted in movies. Not only does this scene last way longer than it needs to, but the sound mixing is atrocious. Early in the film, they are on stage receiving awards for their bravery. The film follows three firefighters, Patrick (Wiseau), Tim (Isaiah LaBorde), and Georgie (Mark Valeriano). From the opening scene of this movie, you are in for a treat. One expects more from world-renowned production company Wiseau-Films. Watch the latest exclusive series on Paramount+ Big Shark is an unintelligible atrocity that will make you wish the video camera had never been invented. The darkest forces of hell are no match for the horrific excuse of a movie that Wiseau has created. I have spent all my waking moments wondering if I could ever watch a movie that’s so bad it actually floored me. This is, far and away, the worst movie I have seen in my entire life. But as I scroll through the 18 pages of notes I took while watching this (literal) disaster movie, I struggle to decide where to begin. I’ve seen a lot of great movies and a lot of bad ones. I’ve been a film critic for a few years now. Twenty years later, he is making his triumphant return to the big screen with Big Shark. He cheep-cheep-cheeped his way to fame in 2003 with his cult classic, The Room. It’s a common hyperbole thrown around right after you exit the theater of a movie you didn’t like: “Oh, that’s the worst movie I’ve ever seen.” But Tommy Wiseau is here to put all the worst movies of all time to shame…again. What is the worst movie you’ve ever seen? I want you to think about this question.
