User Reviews

Awful

One of the worst movies i've ever seen. Everything is awful, the acting ( the main character is insufferable), the writing, the CGI, EVERYTHING.I really didn't like the pacing of the movie as well. I think that if this is the future of summer blockbusters, i might never go to the movies again.I really hope the Jaume Collet-Serra directs another movie after this one. This poorly put together film really embodies the situation Hollywood is in. Nobody's coming up with original ideas, so companies are just putting together poorly done films while trying to capitalize off of trends, in this case, shark week. Don't waste your time with this one.
