salvessa Review of 47 Meters Down

47 Meters Down (2017)

Far better than the movie I expected to watch!!

[7/10 · 16 August 2016]

Firstly I haven't watched the Shallows yet, so can't compare the two, but as a stand alone movie, I enjoyed it and it had an awesome little twist at the end that I didn't see coming even though I watch easily 60+ movies a month, It's not the greatest of acting at the beginning, but it's all believable and they did a great job making this film, easily the best Shark movie I have seen in years and would be happy to recommend it to any one who enjoys a good shark movie, honestly first time since I watched Jaws that I was actually jumpy of getting back in the water, on a serious note though there are a lot of movies out there with much bigger budgets that don't deliver any where close to a movie this good, granted, no one will win any Oscars, but the acting is believable even if it's a little over the top at the start, the directing was spot on and considering they wear masks for large portions of the movie, I felt invested in the characters. more than I could say for many of this years block busters.
