Roboshark (also released as Robo Shark vs. Navy Seals) is a 2015 Bulgarian-Canadian television film directed and co-written by Jeffery Scott Lando.

[1] Co-written and co-produced by Phillip Roth, Roboshark is a "gonzo shark film",[2] a "tongue-in-cheek creature feature"[3] which satirically blends action, comedy, and science fiction[4][5] and which premiered at the start of SyFy Channel's second annual Sharknado week on 18 July 2015.

An alien ship approaches the Earth and launches a probe which enters the atmosphere and then splashes into the Pacific, where it is devoured by a great white shark.

An American nuclear submarine in the area detects the robotic shark's movements and, considering it an unknown hostile entity, the captain decides to destroy it.

Trish's husband Rick, a supervisor at the Seattle public works department, is tracking the alien's progress through the sewers and informs her of its movements even as Roboshark begins trending in earnest.

Trish and Melody record the latter stages of the encounter and post it on YouTube, getting high numbers of views, but are disappointed to find that many people do not take the video seriously.

Trish's teenage daughter Melody discovers that Roboshark is following her on Twitter,[note 1] and realizes that it is not acting out of malginant intent but reacting defensively.

In a close encounter with Melody, the alien's robotic form's colours switch from its usual aggressive red to a more "friendly" green.

Some time later, a woman walks in the park amid the Space Needle debris with a small dog whose eyes begin to glow red.

[2]A recurring theme and object of "sly" satire running through Roboshark is the world of social media and online reactions to current events, something which "sets it apart from its many, many brethren.

[7] Lisa Bowman suggests that the film's penultimate scene of the Admiral's kamikaze-style use of the Space Needle references Slim Pickens riding the nuclear bomb in Dr.

"[2] Steve Hutchison agrees the film is entertaining, providing a "chuckle every two minutes"; an "extremely stupid story, but without ever testing our attention span."
