gerald H @RottenGary 4d Das könnte ein richtig guter Film sein, wenn nicht dauernd Zeitlupe nebst pin-up Ästhetik bemüht würde. Die CGI Delphine sind schlecht. Das Hai-Ende ebenfalls.

It started off impressively realistic and genuinely tense, but then took more and more poetic licence with the behaviour of the shark, the most glaring example being the shark repeatedly choosing to eat humans instead of a dead whale. Once I realised they were committing to the more creative tone to elevate the horror, I was actually OK with it, it was just the shift between the realistic and the creative that was so jarring. Other than that it was a pretty solid and interesting film, extremely well acted and genuinely tense/horrifying in a lot of parts. I can't really give it more than 2.5 stars because it was just so gimmicky in some parts that it made it hard to take seriously when it would have otherwise been edge of your seat viewing the whole time.

Worrh watching. See more matthias S @Thescreenasvor Mar 20 I went into *The Shallows* thinking it’d be a pretty intense survival movie, but it honestly just confirmed I’m not really a fan of Blake Lively. The idea is actually cool—a surfer stuck in the water with a shark—but the way it plays out feels kinda underwhelming. Some parts drag, and instead of being tense, it just gets a bit boring at times. It looks nice visually, I’ll give it that, but that’s not enough to save it. Overall, it’s okay for a one-time watch, but nothing special and pretty forgettable.

But this film looked different. And the setting was more immersive to real life scenerio's. It's like they had somebody who knew there stuff but than they put him or her on mute early on. This "shark" or great white completely ignores a MASSIVE Whale carcass to go after a surfer. The sharks there cause of the whale, idk to top it all of, Instead of saving the film early on, by showing the shark feeding on the whale, they than made the shark into an Orca trying to knock the human off the perfectly good whale carcass meal. I would have maybe thought okay, maybe they wanted to make it intense for the shark to go after her instead of the easy meal. Than It showed the shark feeding off the whale until the guys came back to try and save her or something. But nah idk See more Read all reviews
