47 meters below

Good!

I went into this thing expecting the worse. Blake Lively did almost the same movie last year with the Shallows and that film surprised me. It was so great. So from the moment I saw the previews of 47 Meters Below, I said to myself this is the same movie, it might as well be the sequel to the Shallows, cause it stars more than one girl and more than one shark. Mandy Moore and some other girl who I do not know are attempting to steel the thunder of the Swallows. It’s like the horror genre has moved on from Zombies and Ghost to Sharks.

All jokes aside the movie was actually not half bad. The shark was used mostly as an extra added bonus to the horror. The real excitement of the movie is watching these girls brave the depths of the bottom of the ocean, that includes sharks. It reminds me a lot of Sandra Bullock’s attempts to brave space in Gravity. Some of the scenes made the bottom of the ocean look terrifying, it really adds to the anxiety of the whole experience.

I like the Swallows better but this was really really cool, and though it’s no jaws I hope this teaches a new generation of kids not to stay out of the water.
