Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

bjtexter How the hell do surfers not see a HUGE whale being devoured by sharks? Brie Larson is going to play Captain Marvel in the Marvel cinematic universe. Get out of here

GL84 Taking a trip to a secluded beach, a woman intending to surf in the area where her and her mother surfed years earlier is attacked by a shark prowling the area and tries to survive the encounter long enough to get help as her limited supplies and slowly slipping conscious derail her chances.This one was quite the enjoyable and somewhat thrilling effort. Most of what works here with this one is the fact that it takes quite a bit of suspense from the situation that comes naturally in such a situation. This type of setup is one of the more realistic and believable type of situations for a shark attack where it occurs in a secluded area involving a lone shark in an area targeting other factors around the environment and only just turning the attention to the surfer only by proxy. The behavior of the creature, seemingly more interested in the free meal around it than spending it dealing with her and only turning its attention to her once she gets into the water because of the cuts she has, comes off as incredibly realistic and seemingly in tune with how such creatures behave in real life. This in turns gives the suspense of the few attack scenes quite a bit of power as they carry themselves out. The initial attack out on the middle of her surf into shore is quite nice due to the obvious shots of it stalking her from the beginning and it strikes at a truly unexpected time leaving this with quite a nice surprise. The series of attacks in the water as she tries to survive are incredibly thrilling, using the shrinking location and the continuous onslaught of the creatures' appearances to stellar effect as her worsening physical condition makes for a fantastic counter to the rest of the situation. The finale on the buoy is stellar as well, giving this a nice action quotient and a rousing finale that's perfect for this kind of effort, and alongside the great prop shark that's involved here really holds this one up over its minor flaws. About the only real factor involved in knocking this one down is the utterly severe amount of injuries inflicted here that don't really make any kind of sense as to why she's still able to fight back. It's quite obvious that the initial wound is quite striking and severe, but to then feature the bruising across the body from the rock sanctuary, the multitude of cuts and scrapes trying to get to safety or the series of crashes and cuts while fighting the shark off at the buoy that cause her plenty of additional bloodless alongside what she's already gone through. This just doesn't look logical at all and is the real negative force holding this one back which isn't really all that detrimental at all.Rated PG-13: Violence and Language.

carolynflavia This movie is very very very boring and freaking weird! Like in this movie the shark really has mind to targeting just one person for days. The only reason you stay watching this movie is just because Blake Lively looked so hot there nothing's more.

Floated2 The Shallows is a relatively simply shark stranded thriller with the trailers showing exactly the type of film it is. This is a film which showcases Blake Lively as a strong leading actress and the film made a profit within its box office. Most criticism comes from the fact that it may seem unrealistic at times but overall the film does a decent job at keeping those on the edge of the seat, while maintaining and engaging and entertaining plot. The cgi is well done and keeps it simply throughout the film. The Shallows has a relatively slow start but within minutes has a quick build up to the point where we see Blake stranded by the rock. What was difficult in reasoning is how long she was on the rock with no food but yet seemed to have enough energy in swimming back and forth. Also as of note she meets a small seagull which steals the show in the end.Overall, the Shallows is a small simple film with a simple intention at entertaining and in does the job. Recommend to those whom enjoy this sort of films. Nothing to take too serious but relax.
