Blind Waters

After heading out onto the ocean, a couple looking into the environmental effects on sea-life in the area are soon stranded in the water when a ravenous shark traps them at sea with dwindling supplies forcing them to deal with the creature with a sketchy survivor until they're rescued.

This was a fairly underwhelming genre effort. One of the few positives featured here comes from the simplistic setup that provides a decent enough excuse for the attacks to occur following their trip out on the water. Featuring the two looking forward to their study of the local marine life and his secret quest to make it a potential proposal opportunity, the resulting shark attack is a fine way to set up their need to survive in the water long enough to be rescued which is what ensures a solid series of antics following up on the first encounter. These attacks featuring the couple trying to utilize their sunken ship and supplies to their advantage not just getting out of the water but off of the island with the other shifty survivor that come off rather nicely, leading to some rather fun attacks and decent enough gore to be somewhat worthwhile. There are some issues to be had with this one that hold it back. The main problem with the film is the highly underwhelming and decidedly sluggish pacing that doesn't have much in the way of interest for quite a while. The structure here is the main culprit, making a series of odd decisions that leave the structure here quite uneven with some bizarre choices. The idea of taking the couple out to the reef as a secondary storyline with the stranger hitching a ride with the fisherman couple and then going through the relationship drama that transpires with them out there leaves the film's first half not knowing what storyline you're supposed to be following, to then bring the shark out as soon as it does leads to the rushed series of attacks leading to the spate of injuries that seem completely unrealistic as to how they would survive and continue to keep fighting with the wounds that they suffer here because the attacks are so early in the film. As well, the other problem here is that there's way too much going on with the inclusion of a human villain to try to overcome that feels unnecessary in the final half. Featuring the victim in the first place is a weird choice since he takes away from the fight to get away from the sharks circling the island with them so everything is suddenly drained of the type of suspense and action that's usually featured in these types of scenarios as there's now a need to try to deal with this threat which keeps the sharks away during this section of the film. Adding in the injuries that are still a prominent part of what's going on here, this only ends up allowing everything to get stretched out far longer than it needed to be making for a film that's way too long for its own good. These end up dragging the film down overall.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

Yet another gravitus garbage movie made on a shoestring budget with unknown actors with cheesy special effects and dialogue but the acting was not bad or anything but the lead actress was terribly cast. Not likable nothing particularly compelling about her the guy was okay he was fine I just didn't like the female lead but it has a typical crochets of ludicrous situations and you've seen this movie a thousand times with different titles. I don't know why they make these how did they make their money back? Who finances these things? I don't know they continue to make them and they're always lousy..

I think the director and actors don't know anything about ships, sharks, sea and human as well.

The acting is woeful. The performances that feel more like primary school drama class than a feature film. The characters are one-dimensional, delivering lines with a lack of enthusiasm that makes it hard to care about the survivals. You find yourself wishing for the sharks to finish them off just to end the agony of their interactions.

Visually, the film is a disaster. The special effects are laughable, with the CGI sharks resembling something out of an outdated video game. The underwater scenes are poorly lit and lack any sense of realism, making it difficult to feel any tension or fear.

Lemme start off with this. This movie is horrible never watch the movie. The sfx are bad the graphics are horrible the acting is even worse. 2nd of all they were both stranded and they find a random man and then they get the boat to work and the coast guard went to go help her when she was in the water and then fireworks come out of no where like what the hell man. 0/10 never watch. It's a waste of time i literally was screaming at the tv cause it was so bad. If you want to waste your time go ahead but not me im never watching that movie again. If i could talk to the actors i would criticize them on how bad they were. As you can see i gave it absolutely no stars.

Terrible movie, waste of the runtime you could spend doing anything else more interesting including watching paint dry.

The shark wishes it could be as well done as the one in jaws, a movie made.almost 50 years ago and let's mpt ,emtion the story (or lack thereof) or teh acting.

It is not even bad enough it is good, just plain bad and that's coming from someone that usually enjoys cheap sharkl movies. This one is just plain bad and a waste of time. Watch ANYTHING else really.

What can I say more to complete this review? I mean The Shallows is also a ridiculous movie where a shark kills and eats so many people during the runtime that must have been one hungry shark but it is highly watchable, this one isn't, not just because it is ridiculous just because it is terrible in every way.
