      If you came to see the next Avatar in 3D adventure, well you are totally out of place.  Piranha 3D is nothing more than a great splatter movie in 3D.   Not Too much sex, but with all of the half nude bodies, Gruesome Gore and attacks and seemingly endless bare boobs and big booty's, it almost seemed like a miracle this movie was released.  to the naked eye, it looked like there were almost no R rated movies this summer, and the only one that got any sort of attention was that overbloated, thin story The Expendables.


     Piranha 3D is a remake from of the 70's camp classic directed by Joe Dante.  In the current state, or lack of, Good remakes, P3D slides past the rest and leads the pack.  To say that director Alexandre Aja has a nack for turning stomachs, is to put it lightly.  With P3D you get a typical Spring Break crowd being devastated by prehistoric fish, with plenty of 3D Boob shots and Blood in it's wake.

     The story is simple.  A crack opens at the bottom of a lake, releasing thousands of prehistoric fish hellbent on tearing apart anything in their way.  As usual the town has no idea what is about to happen, nor do they seem to care when warned almost at gunpoint by the local law Enforcement.  Maybe it's better that way.  I really enjoyed watching your typical MTV beach crowd be torn to ribbons. 

     The cast was, in my opinion, spot on for the film.  E. Shue reminded me of her AIB days, jumping all over the place, and not affraid to get dirty.  Ving Rhames was great as the Deputy sidekick, and both Jerry O' Connell, and Eli Roth stole the show as a sleazy Girls gone Wild type director, and a cheesy spring break DJ.  Both of their deaths are great and bloody, but O' Connell's character has a little something for your pervasive 3D gorehound.

     Overall i felt that P3D did exactly what it had set out to do.  You will walk away from this movie either laughing at some stuff, or shaking your head at some of the story.  Either way, you will not be let down.
