After witnessing illegal military shenanigans in the Arctic, a marine scientist (Deborah Gibson) and her associates report a near-death attack by large predators frozen in the ice. With her reputation at stake, she seeks help from several colleagues to help convince others of a severe threat to coastal communities and shipping traffic. The US and Japanese Navy must contend with a dual threat of giant sharks and octopuses threatening both nations and Ms. Gibson's new scientist boyfriend. Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus has the usual low-budget sets and laughable stock footage from many other Asylum releases. The CGI could have been better, with the inconsistent creature sizes differing from scene to scene. With more than half the movie not showing the creatures, the film spends too much time showing the love story between the two scientists instead of the big beasts. The Asylum is well known for quickie mockbusters and red-box-level movies, yet Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus would set a precedent for getting a theater trailer that helped bring the film some hype for its DVD and streaming release.
