This movie is terrible! Two stupid people in the water.

If you haven't already, don't waste your time. Luckily, it's a short movie, only an hour and twenty minutes, but still, it's an hour and twenty minutes I'll never get back.

:evil:

I'd never even heard of it until you mentioned it.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Isn't it based on a true story? Or didn't something very similiar like this happen to a couple?

From what I understand, it's based on several events that have occurred. However, much like "A perfect storm", they both die so really the view is left wondering how the hell ANY of this is based on fact except for the fact that this has happened to people.

The two characters are so unbelievably stupid and annoying I really didn't care what the hell happened to them and couldn't wait for this stinker to end.

You are very wise ;)

I wasn't planning on it either, but you know, someone had to see it.

Terrible, just terrible

Neither was I.

It looked like a movie about two people in the water. Great. :arrow:

Wow, I didn't realize they die. That definitely puts the whole "based on true story" claim to shit. How do they know they got attacked by sharks? Maybe it was angry sea bass. I knew the first time I saw the preview for this that there was no way I'd ever see it. If I want a shark movie, I'll rent Jaws.

Please understand, I'm not sure what I said is true. That's what I heard. I maybe be completely wrong.

No, I definitely heard that as well. I'm pretty sure it was even mentioned in the preview I saw in theatres.

they never claimed it to be based on at true story. the claim is "based on TRUE EVENTS", not a true STORY. big difference there. but i did find the movie to be pretty boring. i kind of compared it to Blair Witch in the sense that unless you have been in that kind of situation (and i have never been scuba diving, but have been lost in the woods) then it MAY make the movie scarier or whatever. not the worst movie i have ever seen, but definitely not the best either.

they didnt get kileld by sharks. its not even a shark movie. he gets bit by a barracuda..bleeds..sharks come..i think he gets bit once..then dies of shock..then she lets go of him and floats away..and it ends...

i thought it would be good. il ike those types of movies. but its not "Scary" at all...its not that good. chick is gorgeous though...

well, she lets go of him to attract sharks, and once she is surrounded by them, she decides to basically commit suicide and allows herself to sink in the middle of a whole group of sharks. didn't expect the ending, which made the movie a lot better, in my opinion.

I haaaaated this movie. I think i would actually rather be stuck in the middle of the ocean only to be eaten by sharks, rather than sit through that again.
