Featured reviews
A word of caution if you choose to watch this movie, prepare to be bored for about 44 minutes ... and then confused for the remainder of the experience. For a movie called Mako, I would guestimate that sharks have less than 3 minutes of total screen time. The plot also becomes increasingly difficult to follow once the film crew goes underwater: first, the characters are nearly unidentifiable with their scuba gears, and second, actual events are interspersed with scenes that represent hallucinations induced by depth narcosis. On the plus side though, the underwater cinematography is fairly impressive, all things considered.
I don't know what this is really. No acting. No story line. Nothing whatsoever. What were they thinking? I don't know. It's a failure for me by all means. First time to hold my mobile while watching a movie in theatre. I did not do it even in Deadpool.
This is a waste of time boring movie
Sound is bad
No story or scenario
I saw the actors in many things before they were good, why they did such a bad movie
Not Worthy at all.
The film is very bad, it is very boring with no story at all. It has a very trivial action scenes. The movie end has no meaning at all. So bad experience.
I'll start this off by saying that I'm a Divemaster.
I have dived the Salem Express twice now, and it's a very easy tourist dive, lying on its side (not on it's keel like in the movie), in always warm, relatively shallow clear water. Any diver would be thrilled to see a shark around the wreck, and larger sharks in the northern Red Sea are virtually unheard of.
If you dive, you might derive entertainment from the absolutely ludicrous diving practices and inaccurate technical references. It makes "47 Meters Down" look like a tech divers manual in comparison. It's so bad, it's good, me and my diver girlfriend were in stitches.
The acting is lamentable, with the air of a hammy low-budget sitcom and scripts that have only had a single cursory read-through.
However, what does come through is a reflection of the myriad social issues that are facing young adults trying to find freedom in many theocratical and conservative middle-eastern and north african societies.
While all- Egyptian, the principally young cast are desparately trying to portray themselves as highly westernised, wealthy, secular and progressive hipsters. Not accurate for much of Egypt in my experience.
The more capable and senior female characters have the unenviable task of trying to manage suffocatingly arrogant, selfish and incompetent Egyptian manchildren, who are historically used to being in charge regardless of their actual abilities, the only truly accurate depiction of Egypt in this movie.
