From the same director as Black Water about a Alligator menacing a group of stranded people in the outback. We have this survival thriller about a group of friends whose boat is capsized and after some decide to swim encounter a great white shark. Apparently based on true events...
It does feel very similar to both Open water and Adrift but has a bit more action I felt. Definitely not as slowly paced as Open water. Given the subject matter, this is about as good as this type of film can get. It won't be for everyone.

Although I did not see in 3D (probably would've been better), I found this movie entertaining as well as beautiful on my 4K TV.

The story of a boy stranded on a lifeboat with mainly a Bengal tiger is interesting and is a metaphor at the same time. Any story of survival is usually compelling and this one is no different.


The visuals, cinematography and art direction were beautiful


Don't think it deserved a Best Director Academy Award for Ang Lee; however, the choices were pretty weak that year so I guess it is what it is.

Not very good

This movie uses the fact that it is intended for a younger audience to ignore major plot holes and problems. The teenage characters make some very questionable decisions in the movie, and are rewarded for it in the end. The "bad" kids in the movie don't face any consequences for leaving another teenager injured and stranded in the desert. While the "good"kid steal money from an ATM, but thats apparently okay because the robot dog hacked it. That's just the start of the problems I found in this movie, but maybe a kid would enjoy it.

Survive in the Wild
Wrong Turn- was a good horror film, the kills were intresting in it. The plot was good.

The plot: Friends Jessie (Eliza Dushku) and Carly (Emmanuelle Chriqui) are traveling with pals Scott (Jeremy Sisto), Evan (Kevin Zegers) and Francine (Lindy Booth) when they have car trouble in West Virginia. Moments later, motorist Chris (Desmond Harrington) crashes into their disabled vehicle. Stranded, the friends discover that they're being stalked by a horde of backwoods cannibals. The woodsmen are hungry and fierce, and they'll be eating well unless Jessie and pals can outsmart them.

Its a good film.
