It does grip you (when you are eventually introduced to the shark) (3 more)

Blake Lively does well to pull off the role as the movie's almost exclusive focus

Some beautifully shot scenes

You genrerally share the fear. It's a simple premise - stuck in the ocean with a big shark!

The first part of the movie exists to develop Lively's character but takes far too long (5 more)

Endless, unnecessary shots of Lively's 'rear end' cheapens the movie in its early stages

You get a LOT of blood from from a leg wound

Nothing new here - feels like an amalgamation of a few other better known movies

Some plot holes

That electronic music!

Steven Spielberg’s first true blockbuster is one that has been copied but where those films tried and failed to replicate this formula, Jaws remains at the pinnacle of shark attack cinema. Filmed on a tiny budget, this iconic classic had people absolutely terrified of swimming in a pool, never mind out in the open ocean.

The special effects are crude by today’s standards but the cleverly positioned camera means the shark is rarely seen on screen for more than a couple of minutes and John William’s excellent score remains a cinema highlight for many. For films set at sea, Jaws just can’t be eaten.

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated The Light (Zombie Ocean/Last Mayor #9) in Books

Mar 18, 2018

Michael John Grist has taken me on a fatastic ride with the Ocean. I have been hooked since book 1 [The Last]. Amo, Lara, Anna, and the rest have become like old friends that I get to visit with once in awhile. From the first book I stated this was a different take on the whole zombie genre theme and it has continues to evolve and take me on twist and turns, ups and downs, right along with the characters. Grist really delves into what it means to be human and that the line between good and evil often is a blurry one. I am really hoping this is not the end.

Gotta catch em all

Released back in 1998 following it's extremely successful t.v. series, pokemon: the first movie (Mewtwo strikes back) sees main characters Ash, Pikachu, Brock & Misty receive an invitation from a mysterious Host, with the destination point being the middle of the ocean.
Upon arriving, things quickly become clear that nothing is quite as it seems & that genetically engineered pokemon known as Mewtwo is in control & will stop at nothing to rule the world without humans.

This is a very mature movie which is incredible considering that its based on a rather friendly children's tv show.

An emotionally caring plot, that can still leave you teary eyed today.
