Who would I recommend this to?
Anyone who likes not scary horror movies with killer animals...and Mandy Moore.

What is this about?
Sisters get stuck in a cage in the ocean with a great white shark and are running out of oxygen.

When would be a good time to watch this?
Shark Week.

Where does it take place?
Somewhere in the ocean near Mexico.

Why did I decide to watch this?
I like sharks.

How did I like this?
I wasn't expecting greatness, but this was a lot of blue screen and not enough shark attacks. It was actually quite boring. Despite the oxygen tank readings, there was no sense of urgency. It was all very flat and one-note.

Then in the last 20 minutes a lot of nonsense happened. Like, how are you going to go swimming around with sharks while bleeding out? And why are you talking so much when you have no oxygen? But that "surprise" shark flare was pretty cool. If only the entire movie had been more like that.

But that ending?! WTF?! I honestly did not see that coming and quite liked it.

Have you seen 47 Meters Down? What did you think?
If not, would you watch it?
