Why did (spoiler)


…. Paris flood at the end?

reply

I’m guessing the explosions caused the river to flood the city somehow?

But not sure how since the city was above the river level.

reply

Yeah that’s exactly what I mean, the explosion wouldn’t cause the flood. Makes no sense (although I do realise we are talking about a movie about sharks in the Seine lol)

reply

I was wondering the same thing. Best explanation I could think of is that the explosions propagated upriver and destroyed a floodgate. There were some mentions of “écluses” in the movie, which are barriers to control the water level in a canal.

The sharks adapted so hard that they have hydrokinetic powers and caused the sea level to rise? The climate change was so bad that the shells going off was the last straw for global warming and the whole earth flooded? I don't know, but it was really, really ridiculous.

I didn't think the rest of the film was doing half bad, either, but that ending kept getting more and more preposterous. My best guess is that it was the imagery. They wanted to have the image of a flooded Paris with sharks swimming all through it, so they built an ending to get there, whether it made sense or not.
