I honestly was expecting much much worse. As a fan of survivalist films, I didn't want to miss out on this one, but everyone's negative approach to this film made me toggle the speed up so that if I waste time on this movie it will only be an hour. But honestly, it wasn't that bad at all.
Acting was up to par for a movie of this caliber, despite what others have said. Some reviewers complained about a little girl being a shark expert... What? What movie did you watch? Because she said sharks don't like bubbles? Others complained that it was unrealistic because that's not how they'd behave if they were stuck in a plane, under the water, with a ticking clock. I'm sorrry. Are you speaking from experience, or is this your psychology PhD speaking?
Another engineer chimes in by saying bird strikes cannot occur at heights above 12k feet. Just a quick Google disproves that person as a trustworthy expert. So when they say that the engine cannot explode sideways because plane is flying at 300 mph, makes me question speed at which a gas turbine engine would be exploding at. Perhaps more than that? If I remember my mech core class correctly it's about 17,000 RPMs. I'm pretty sure these turbines can go in every which direction with ease. Not sure how to Google that but I already threw that witnesses credibility out the window along with the high flying birds.
And well, let's not forget the sharks. Okay, I was expecting people be upset about that one. We all understand that sharks don't typically munch on humans like we're munching on popcorn while watching this film, but... there's just no movie without sharks, and... if you saw a trailer then YOU KNEW there were gonna be sharks. It's like going to see Spiderman and then saying "spider bites don't do that!". I wonder how many of these reviewers giving it a 1-star also told their friends what a great movie "Jaws" was. If Jaws can retain over an 8-star rating with sharks straight up eating boats, then you should be able to put you shark research aside for an hour and a half and enjoy the ride with some decent special effects along the way.
