Trivia
Exterior ship scenes were filmed on the SS Lane Victory, a WWII-era ship and nautical museum docked in San Pedro, CA.

Goofs
Obviously filmed on a tourist attraction ship as revealed by signs above two doorways on the deck with one saying PORT and the other saying STARBOARD, sailors would obviously know this. Also a sign at the bottom of a hatchway saying WATCH YOUR STEP and lastly a sign spotted above the Captain as he gives his rousing speech near the end which says ADDITIONAL VIEWING AREA.

Quotes
Admiral King: Well, hello, big fella. You know, my wife keeps telling me to quit smoking. I guess now's a good of time as any. What do you say? Adios.

If I could give it a negative I would

I love my bad shark movies. I love my great shark movies. And I really love my bad great shark movies. Sadly, this movie falls into none of those categories. I will give some credit to a few of the actors for making the best of what they had to work with, but everything else about this was just bad. You don't come to expect much from the Syfy movies when it comes to special effects, but the scene of the Carrier rocking in the ocean looked so poorly done it was just sad. And I've seen many complaints about the lack of military attention paid to this and yeah, gotta agree. There is usually something to enjoy in these movies, maybe a favorite actor chewing up the scenery or such, but we didn't even get that. I feel they spent the majority of their budget paying Michael Madsen to be in it and for all of his maybe 10 minutes, he kinda phoned it in. Sadly, this will NEVER end up in my to buy and watch over and over pile. EVER.
