This is a so-so film. The story is interesting, but it was long, monotonous and a little boring. There were some great subtle shots of sharks that makes your hair rise up, but the constant bobbing up and down of the ocean waves made me nauseous. No great thrills, lines or action.
I don't know why this film received great reviews. It is a mediocre film -- what was the supposed impact? Fear? I don't think any one is going to stop their vacation plans based on this film. But it may caution people to stay away from shark regions. Entertainment? Hardly entertaining with the same camera angles pointing at the same spot of the landscape over and over. Was this film supposed to educate the audience? Sure, maybe I'll be careful next time I go vacationing, but I hope I won't be so naive as the actors. Rating: 4/10.
