    What Lacks in story and character-development, Gives us an edge of your seat thrill-ride

    No way up was certainly interesting, the premise also being as believable as flying sharks. Sure, it was a strange movie, but it isn't Oscar Worthy material, was it fun? Yes. Was it entertaining? Yes. Was the acting mostly good? Another Yes. Not every movie has to be an Oscar worthy film, some films are better that way, take "Meg films" for example, they are just a good fun time, where you do have to suspend your disbelief. So let's review "No way Up".

    Perfectly starts out with a beautifully Haunting score, along side some nice imagery that's well crafted in the action set-piece. Some stunning imagery of the Water takes place in this scene and its truly wonderful to look at. We then eventually see a person drowning and she's been caught by the Shark. This is where we are then taken to the present day.

    We see our Characters going on board a plane. There's some nice scenes and the acting is fine. Hank was most noticeably a fun grandpa, that seemed to know how to have fun. The acting from the grandparents is exceptionally great. And Brandon being the carer of a rich man's daughter was nice to see.

    However when they are on the plane, things become bumpy. Some of the wings have been hit, and this leads to another issue, can it be stopped and controlled. The reassurance was a realistic part of the film, likewise with the safety proceeder too, some realism there. Then the Planes wing starts to over heart. The young girl (Ava), shows off some great acting. And then we are seeing the wings fly out and some even hit the plane. Causing the plane to move and tilt. Whilst also breaking part of the plane, causing deaths, and suvillains lives are at greater risk.

    Our Characters bearly make it out alive. Which is a miracle they even did. We then get some nice moments with our Characters, and it becomes an intense thrill-ride after a verouchous Shark seems to lurk beneath them. It was entertaining. And some sad, but also nice Character moments. With ultimately good acting.

    For a low Budget film, it really doesn't deserve some of the HATE it gets. Overall, I enjoyed this film on the whole, and think it was a good fun time. That is coming from a fan of Shark Flicks though. But I like how they rationalised there situation and worked as a team. So the big question.

    Would I recommend this film?

    Shark Fans, Yes. Suspend your disbelief multiple times, if you find that funny then yes. Everybody else can stay clear.

    Worth a watch

    So, I give movies a chance if they're over a 5 star on IMDB. This one wasn't so I'm giving a review. It's trash but it's watchable trash.

    The fear of being stuck on an airplane gives this an immediate sense of dread. It has a good setup- in an airport, fussy antagonists, dad who is ambivalent to his daughter who might try and come in and save the day? There's an actor who I thought was Gerard Depardieu but is not him, but whoever he is did a great job. The rest of the cast is great.

    The camerawork is also well done. I don't live in LA, but I assume this is what it looks like. This is worth a watch for sure.

    Decent Movie

    After reading the reviews I just had to see this movie to see if it was as bad as so many stated. Turns out it was decent and deserved a watch. Makes me wonder just how many decent movies I've missed because I relied on the reviews of others who apparently expect each movie they review to be an Oscar winner or it isn't worth watching. Needless to say, I will be considering a lot more movies in the future and relying less on the reviews. I also wonder if the people giving bad reviews have some sort of agenda? I would hate to think so but nowadays just about anything is possible. Anyway, enjoy the movie and if not, consider your expectations maybe need adjustment.

    Not a disaster

    This was a lot better than i was expecting, in fairness to it.

    There was a bit of scene setting and then it was right into the action with passengers one by one getting munched by the over grown Goldfish of the deep.

    It was well shot, at times the script was a bit lacking, and most of the main characters were decent enough, though the lad who broke his arm in the crash was one you just had no interest in as he was far too obnoxious in the opening scenes.

    It did a decent job in building a bit of tension, though, for me anyway, it was obvious which characters were going to survive from early on, so although it succeeded in the tension, it did lack in suspense.

    It's certainly better than some of the reviews would suggest. It's not going to be an 'Oscar' nominated film, but it's by no means awful.

    Shark movie lover here

    I was undecided about the rating... I wanted to give 4 but then I decided to give it a 3.

    I am a fan of movies about sharks. I think I watched all of them. Yeah sometimes they are unrealistic, but shark swimming down the aisle of an airplane is whole another level!

    Order of illogical scenes made me think how filmmaker brain works and how anyone can see this as logical and normal?

    Found the movie quite boring, I almost fell asleep. It didn't hold my attention and it was predictable.

    Worth watching?

    Not really.

    Would I watch if there was part 2?

    Absolutely. Just because I have soft spot for shark movies.
