I wasn't able to watch this "fish slasher" in 3D but still really liked the movie. The movie is about prehistoric Piranha being released into a lake where Spring Break is in full stride. The fish were able to escape an underground cave after an earthquake opened up a huge fissure. Once discovered the local sheriff and her deputies along with some scientist types attempt to warn the partiers but the fish end up having one hell of a college kid buffet.
The kills are over the top as is the nudity and young guys will love the amount of nudity (old guys who pretend their past that age will love it to) in the movie. There's even nudity for the ladies and an underwater dance scene that you pretty much have to see to believe. My thought while watching it was how in the hell the two girls could hold their breath so long, no lie.
Piranhas can eat a full grown cow in a matter of minutes so it's not too much of a stretch to think they could pull off what they do to their victims here. The gore from the kills was way over the top and my favorite part of the movie. Like in any "B" horror flick there's sub-plots and with this one Jerry O'Connell playing an obnoxious Girls Gone Wild type of guy. This is the worst acting job I've ever seen by him, and that's saying something. You'll be cheering for him to die.
I really didn't care for any of the other characters but there are some decent actors in it with just a few scenes like Richard Dreyfuss, Christopher Lloyd and Eli Roth. I'd have been OK with the fish eating all of them, all the survivors at the end and the crew that worked on the film just to watch more of the kill effects.
Piranha 3D was a fun movie and where it won't win any awards it's not a bad way to spend 90 minutes in the middle of the night. I give the movie a "B".
