Captivating

At first i thought it going to be a boring movie after reading all the negative reviews. After watching, i was pleasantly surprised. I love the special effects especially of the big white shark , the crystal clear water , the jelly fish and etc. The movie was well paced, i wasn't bored even for a single second even though 80% of screen time is only with blake lively and the bird. And it ended well with an unexpected climax albeit a little far fetched.i will probably watch it again.7/10.Definitely watchable if you don't get your expectations too high.

A film that fulfills its role.

The Shallows is a cool and helpful film, it is also a movie that has many risks of being boring, since much of the film is set on an isolated rock in the sea, and the main one has to survive, not to be killed by A shark, the cast is good, I was surprised Blake Lively's performance, she proved to be a good actress, obviously not a memorable performance, but she did well, the rest of the cast does not compromise, the visual effects are good, the Visual of the shark is OK, the rhythm starts well, but loses a little strength in the progress, the soundtrack combines with the film, the film has tense moments, the script has some problems, and the film unfortunately loses its force in the third act , Plus The Shallows is recommended, even more who likes movies of that same style. Note 6.8

Film adds nothing new to the shark genre

Entertaining 'shark' movie that adds a modern twist to the Jaws films of the 1970s and 80s. The location is supposed to be some surfers paradise beach in Mexico (in reality filmed in Australia) where a lone surfer Nancy (Blake Lively) ends up stranded a mere 200m from the safety of the beach by an angry Carcharadon carcharias (Great White Shark).Nancy heavily losing blood from a deep leg wound ends up finding solace on a rock. To add to the screenplay she is befriended by a seagull she names Steven. Do you get the joke Steven Seagull? The shark effects are all cleverly added by CGI which of course Steven Spielberg didn't have available at the time of shooting Jaws in 1975. I suppose there is little manoeuvre for the screenplay. Don't get me wrong an entertaining watch but just highlights for me how good Jaws was.
