Don`t waste your money. We were sucked in by the ads and media hype and were thoroughly disgusted when we left. This was "cinematographers-fresh-out-of-school" looking for a quick cash grab with media manipulation... and we were the suckers. Don`t get fished in!!
Look, I won`t lie, if you`re coming to this movie looking for exciting action and vicious shark attacks, you`ll be disappointed. BUT if you`re keen on seeing the psychological effect of two people stranded in the middle of the ocean as well as the scariness of the unseen underwater, then this movie will satisfy your cravings. I have this little fear of open spaces, like water, so this film had me white knuckled three quarters of the time... sharks not included. And lemme tell you, it was really refreshing to see REAL sharks! No more choppy mechanical Bruce (which, although, still was pretty scary in Jaws) or really fake looking computer g
To those who liked it: Obviously you`re closer to your own mortality and you understand REAL fear, not the platter-fed scare tactics used today. At some point in your life you`ve probably felt truly helpless, so you can relate to it. To those who hated it: You`re young, at an age where you still feel indestructable. You haven`t experienced the real world TRULY on your own yet. And hey, it`s about two people in the middle of the ocean, what did you THINK you were going to see? Explosions and aliens? To those who have yet to see it: Use sensible judgment here. If you enjoyed movies like The Blair Witch Project or Cast Away, you`ll like Open Wat
open water waz soooo boring id rather watch The Cinderella Story than this dump!!!! I wasted an hour and 19 min of my life!!!
Not as good as I expected. Poor filming and angles, pointless scenes and not so good acting. It felt like a home video and got pretty boring. Not a lot of action, wasnt scary, and a very bad ending! Dont waste your money going to the theatres..wait to see it on dvd if you really think you want to see it.
This movie definitely will turn heads of those who are mature and able to feel for the victims... Aren`t people tired of other movies that hide its crappy storyline with special effects? I don`t know how people can think that the Blair Witch Project was good and think this movie was bad. It had the same feel to it. This movie is definitely a refreshing change and the fact that it is very realistic sends shivers down my spine.
Why do ppl who like this movie have to assume that those who didn`t enjoy it must be immature? I attend movies to escape reality so I don`t give a rat`s tail if this really happened. The production was poor and I don`t care if they had $500k to spend. If at least the acting were better, or if the shots were breathtaking, I wouldn`t mind that it looks like a 6th grader held the camera. This movie was so pitiful, they had to resort to full frontal nudity in one seen to keep`em watching. Again, if there were something good at this movies core, I could overlook the beer budget. I don`t care to spend $30 bucks total for a movie that you`ve gotta
This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. There wasn`t one thing that I could honestly say was good in this movie, except for the chick, she was ok. I`m gonna go do something less painfull now like stick my head in a lawnmower. Thumbdown.
I absolutely hate this movie ! it was the most boring movie i have ever seen. it was like i paid 9:00 to see a movie that wouldn`t even be good enough for the discovery channel. the acting was terrible and the ending was STUPID . don`t waste your money seeing this . don`t even waste 4:00 to rent it . it was a terrible movie.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz GO SHARK GO
