PLOT SUMMARY

Michael and Sean Brody, the sons of Amity police chief Martin Brody, now work at Florida's Sea World where they help in some scientific research on dolphins. They capture a young great white shark and put it on display at Sea World but it dies and its very angry mother comes looking for revenge...

Utterly appalling, this is one of the worst sequels ever made. The script is dreadful, the performances match it perfectly and Joe Alves should stick to production design. Painfully dull and uninvolving, even the 3D effects are rubbish. For Jaws completists only.
