Review of The Shallows

The Shallows (2016)
3/10
Horrible and unrealistic
21 September 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I wanted to like this movie. I really did, but its just bad.

Basically we have a hot blond chick that gets stranded on a rock with a shark trying to get her.

Now here's the biggest flaw in the movie. There is a 2 ton whale that is barely eaten in the same location as this girl. So why is the shark interested in a 90lb woman over a 2 ton whale? Oh not only is this shark after this woman, this shark attempts to climb rocks, go through jellyfish, tries to climb its way through a buoy drone and basically stalk this girl for like two days when it has a nice huge whale right there? That made no sense at all.

The next issue is the woman is apparently a superhero since she can suffer massive blood lost, jellyfish stings, dehydration, concussions and yet still swim like an Olympic swimmer by out swimming a great white shark.

C'mon.
