Survive

Sorry, movie is a waste if you don't like the main characters. Mom especially is spineless and especially stupid.

This is a case of too dumb to live, so no sympathy for the characters, equals no interest if they live or die.

Bad writing all around and the music department pretty much drives the movie telling you ooooo the bad guy is limping along to get the family, time to be scared.

Waste of time to watch, wouldn't recommend to anyone.... don't know how else to say how God awful this movie was other than to fill the review qouta... so this movie was épouvantable, beyond épouvantable.......

So many stupid plot holes and stupid scenarios it starts to drag early in.

The stupid father, the really stupid kids who continually get themselves into trouble, the daughter in particular is really annoying.

The herd of carnivorous rampaging crabs is so ridiculous it is laughable, they move at a breathtaking pace and eat meat ? Where did they come from ? Outer space ?

Other stupid bits : within days of the disaster everything looks a 100 years old, the few humans that survive all want to kill each other, on sight, immediately, without thought. Where did all the dead fish go ? How did one little boat survive ? When will the family stop crying & screaming ? Way too much emotion, over and over. When did the mum become a crack shot ? How many triumphant moments within moments of despair can one film have ?

And then the sea comes back to round a fun holiday off, just silly.

The concept is good. The trailer is interesting. The plot is not bad either, but I didn't like the movie's ending. The movie seems to have been cut off abruptly. The acting is not bad. There aren't many actors anyway. The concept is good. Some of the visual effects are not bad either. But the ending of the movie was a complete disappointment. I watched the film in the cinema, I don't regret it, but the ending of the movie is very bad and meaningless. I thought the movie would continue, but it ended suddenly. It's as if the editor of the movie got tired and bored and left it halfway and no one sent the movie to the cinema. I think this happened because I can't make any other sense of it. Also, there are no plant or animal remains after the sea receded. I don't think the Caribbean seas are like this. Anyway, they ended a good idea with a bad final.

Anyone who gives this movie more than 3 is on drugs, it's the worst movie I've watched for a while. The characters are not smart, the mom is so useless it's sad. The bad guy wouldn't last 5 minutes in real life and the daughter pathetic. He did have a an interesting premise, if you have a low IQ. Why they start talking French half way through is perfect, says all you need to know about this nonsense of a movie. Thought Hollywood was making crap movies, but the French have joined them it seems.so if you've got nothing else to watch, like paint drying or ants crawling on the floor, give this ludicrous movie a watch !

First, I have to say the events in Survive were quite different from what I expected based on the trailer. The basic plot-of the ocean suddenly retreating and the main characters finding themselves at the bottom of the exposed seabed-was as advertised, but pretty much everything that happened afterward took a different direction. On the plus side, it turned out to be a post-apocalyptic survival movie, and it was far more unpredictable than I imagined.

Overall, the acting is decent, but the main characters are absolutely beyond annoying. They frustrated me so much that I couldn't help but shout at the screen while watching. There are two things I really dislike in post-apocalyptic horror/action thriller/disaster movies: extremely irritating characters who do everything they shouldn't, and the tendency for survivors to turn on each other. Survive has plenty of both.

I really liked the core idea of the retreating sea and the characters going on a survival adventure on what used to be the ocean floor. It's a somewhat unique concept, and it reminded me of a sci-fi comic book I read as a kid that had a similar premise. However, the actual execution of the film wasn't great. The special effects are solid-I have no complaints there-but the story had so much untapped potential.

Survive also includes plenty of subtle nods to iconic blockbusters. For example, the family's boat is named Orca, just like the one used to hunt the shark in Jaws. At one point, a character says, "We're all going to die down here"-a line made famous by the Resident Evil series and overused in many other films. There's also a scene with a submarine and a massive wave that reminded me of Interstellar, and so on.

That said, the biggest surprise for me was that most of the dialogue is in French. This wasn't obvious at all from the trailer-they probably compiled most of the English lines into it. So, be prepared to read subtitles if you don't understand French.

Overall, I expected more, but Survive wasn't that bad. In fact, I think the rating it has should be a bit higher.
