very deceptive trailers..... initially a cross between an infomercial and reality TV gradually transitioning into pain and suffering. not recommended.
It is a good movie and seems to be true. Jaws were a hyped up version. This seens to be much more convincing.
It was very frightening to see the complete lack of control that people actually have over the environment, especially when in danger. I was also interested in the dynamic occurring between the couple starting with banal and lighthearted conversation, then tension and anger, to displays of affection, finally erupting in the sheer terror in knowing that they were doomed.
A well crafted movie with brave (and I mean brave) performances from its leading stars (the actors, not the fishes). I suspect some audiences are used to overblown effects, OTT cgi sharks et al and wont switch on to how scary the films premise actualy is. Increasingly bold sharks, stuck in the open ocean, with night falling... Excellent ending. Plus, the bit with the camera eating mako puts a bit of perspective on shark attacks. ..and finally Ms Ryan is gorgeous!
Hmmmmm, I figure the money I spent on two tickets and popcorn would equate to the amount of money budgeted for this movie. If you want to feel cheated, robbed, and suckered spend the money to see this movie! I should have walked, but it was so horrible I only thought there was a catch and that it would get better. I could have made this movie with a camcorder and two friends outfitted with scuba gear at the end of my dock at the cottage over a long weekend.
The only thing scary about this show was the dialogue, the poor cinematography and the fact I thought it would never end.
What a waste of my money and time. I considered walking out, and now wish that I had.
Solaris just got bumped to #2 worst movie ever....this one is in at #1
It was the worst movie ever. A waste of money and time!!!!
I hate sharks with such a passion and had to be dragged there kicking and screaming. Two weeks later I`m still terrified of that movie. It was very well done. Except I`m not sure if was what really happended at the end.
