This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
... View MoreWhen a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
... View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
... View MoreOpen Water,you need an open mind for this one. To be fair, it's a difficult film to make considering the story line and the best was tried. There is a scene where the girl is wearing a skirt and then I the next cut of the same sene she's wearing trousers.

Even the second one was not that bad, even though it didn't link up to the first one. But it was still watchable. Open Water 3: Cage Dive comes to us as another one of these useless low budget Found Footage films. The only plus this movie has is Megan Peta Hill, who is at least cute and therefore nice to look at. But let's face it, the acting is horrible, the dialogues trash and to speak from a cinematic perspective, the first part would use this one here as toilet paper. Definetely not worth your time.
... View MoreJust when I thought it was safe to go back in the water, a found-footage shark movie swims my way. Cage Dive takes the well-worn hand-held camera/faux documentary route to tell the story of three Californian adrenaline junkies - Jeff, Josh and Megan (Joel Hogan, Josh Potthoff and Megan Peta Hill)- who travel to Australia to experience great white sharks up close and personal. Unfortunately, their thrill-seeking experience doesn't go quite as planned when a freak wave capsizes the boat, leaving the friends stranded in shark-infested waters.I was actually enjoying this found-footage shark movie up to the point where an argument over the use of a flare results in the characters accidentally setting fire to their inflatable life raft; at this point, the film well and truly 'jumps the shark', after which it slowly sinks further and further into the murky depths of bad film-making. And when brothers Jeff and Josh forget about the sharks to have a scrap over Megan, with whom they are both in love, the film finally hits rock bottom. To director Gerald Rascionato's credit, the shark attack scenes are deftly handled and realistic (I guess that the sharks are CGI; if that is the case, they're extremely well done), resulting in a reasonable amount of tension, and there's one satisfyingly nasty moment where we see a survivor with the side of his face hanging off, but for much of the time it's just three whiny over-privileged idiots bobbing around in the sea. You'll be longing for the fish to start biting again.4.5 out of 10, rounded up to 5 for IMDb.
... View MoreIt's difficult to make a found footage film about people stranded in shark infested waters that isn't scary. The situation alone is enough to create tension. As a result, I liked Cage Dive. Yeah the acting is a bit questionable and we're given a large amount of filler at the beginning, as we're introduced to the various characters. Ultimately you'll probably find yourself wishing they'd just bloody well get on to the shark bit! I guess a bit of context is needed to make us empathise with the characters, but i think films like Reef and Open Water achieves this much more enjoyably. This film is everything you think it will be. Horrendous scenes of people in distress, and the tension that comes with knowing anyone could be picked off at any moment. I particularly liked the night vision scenes. Absolutely Crazy!One criticism is that when the characters first become stranded in the ocean, they don't really seem too worried. They're clearly scared, but it seems a bit restrained. Whereas I think anyone would be utterly pooing themselves in a situation like that.Plus the bit where the Megan sets off the flare and burns down their life raft is just exquisite. All in all, if you like shark movies, survival movies or found footage, and you don't take it too seriously, this is a pretty enjoyable, effective and tense little film.Muito bem caralho.
