Under Paris on Netflix: Shark Frenzy Roils Seine! (Review)

Friends, I have recently watched a film named “Under Paris” and I have to say that it is a hidden gem of 2024. This film is based on the importance of underwater life ecosystems and marine animals. After watching this movie, I felt like writing a review of it, I was wondering how I would explain it to people and what things I would say. After watching this movie, I feel that what will be presented and what will be done.

Under Paris is based on the underwater ecosystem and the importance of marine animals. As many animals are becoming extinct on earth, the situation in the marine is also similar. So this movie has been made on its basis. The story is about a scientist who researches sea creatures and finds out that there are huge creatures in the sea like sharks, they are getting mutated, meaning they are making some changes in themselves, and they are getting bigger. They are becoming smaller, they are becoming more violent and this kind of change can cause havoc in the entire ecosystem.

And if even a few drastic changes occur in the marine ecosystem, the entire ecosystem may collapse. There are no words to praise this movie. How beautifully it has been shown and the best part is the CGI. Stellar CGI has done wonders. It feels so realistic that you can feel as if you are underwater and the shark is moving towards you, ready to attack you.

And let me tell you about this movie, it is the most searched movie on Netflix. The basic storyline is about sharks. When a shark mutates, how does it behave, how does it become aggressive, does its speed increase, size increase and how does its deadly attack occur? In a way, you can get to see the bloodbath in this movie.

When I was reading reviews of this Under Paris movie and trying to understand other people’s reviews, I came across someone who compared them with “Jaws“. Here, friends, you must have learned that Jaws is also a shark-based movie. It is being compared with that, meaning you can imagine what kind of creativity would have been brought into the movie.

To tell you the main story of the Under Paris Flim, there is a scientist who researches marine creatures, what are the changes that are coming, what is the ecosystem, what is the pollution in the ocean, what is it. What are these changes, and what changes are taking place in the marine creatures? When a team goes into the Pacific Ocean to investigate, they discover that a shark that used to be 2-2.5 meters long is now 7 meters long. After seeing its use, people are left stunned and the shark attacks everything and gives a solution to all the research teams.

Now the scientist who was a little girl said that she was very sad that the way marine creatures are mutating, can cause big trouble. Then suddenly the scientist finds out that a team has come to him and tells him that this is a shark, it has been found near Paris, at the bottom of the Seine river. This river is where many tourists are seen, and many sports games are held.

So those who are the police of Paris, those who are scientists, feel helpless that this shark has to be taken out in such a way, otherwise, all the sportsmen will lose their lives. Now during this research, scientists have come to know that sharks are impregnating themselves without having intercourse and their population is hindering, which means, the condition of the marine ecosystem is in danger.

Now as the shark is searched for, an attempt is made to eliminate it, then a huge suspense arises. It is revealed that she is a shark, she has given birth to many children and those children are hers, they are immediately pregnant and are giving birth to sharks, meaning in a way, sharks are being born in the herd. Now, to solve this problem, some policemen and some local people are sacrificing their lives, but in the end, you get to see a very shocking suspense. Now what is that suspense, you will know after watching the movie.
