47 Meters Down: Uncaged

Those who have high expectations are wrong here. But if you know what you will be getting involved with for the next 1,5 hours, then this movie is not bad at all, also the ending.

Basic story Basic acting Basic special effects Basic movie

I don't know what i expected in all honesty. it was shot well and the tension gives you that feeling of being constantly pursued but at some point it does get comical. particularly the last sequence. all in all it's a great laugh.

If like me, you were lured in by the trailer, which to be fair for those of us that like shark movies, even though they're nearly all terrible, you can be forgiven for thinking this one would be different....

.....It wasn't unfortunately.

On the plus side, as is so often the case it is a nice idea, I love the idea of those cave sharks, blind, relying on sound, great, only they looked a little like Jaws III at times, and were a little on the dim side. The characters were such, that you didn't care if they got eaten or not, and apart from the quite brilliant scene used in the trailer (you can see why) it didn't really deliver many scares.

I won't say it was atrocious, because it wasn't, it is more what I'd class as a fun movie.

How long before a dive into the waters of The Arctic, and divers get terrified by Greenland sharks? One day.

Mehh, 4/10.

They really went far out to make something, to build a world, to really have something underground. Though once the mayhem starts nothing much is left of that. Still I would do a tour of the set if I ever was going to do deep diving (minus the sharks obviously).

Having said that, this is pretty bog standard and there is nothing special to it. Horror, blood and terror, you know all the ingredients you need - but not cooked to a degree that would make this special in any way
