Verloren im Meer

A group of six friends head into the ocean for some relaxation and partying, they all jump into the water, and forget to drop the ladder down,

The original is marginally better, let's be honest, it's a fairly poor remake, it looks good, it features an attractive cast and some stunning location, but the food bits are just superficial.

For the first half an hour, nothing actually happens, it's all build up and chit chat, by the time they jump in, you're already wanting a shark to come along.

The script is a bit dodgy, and some of the conversations will have you peering behind your eyes.

The blow up orca was the only character I was rooting for!

Thirty minutes of chit chat, thirty minutes of bobbing up and down in the light, thirsty minutes of bobbing up and down in the dark.

It's a chore.

3/10.

Just don't watch it. Very poor plot, actors aren't great.

Gave it a single star, it really was THAT bad. The Actors and Actresses were watchable enough, but the plot and direction left so much to be desired. Whilst watching the idiotic film, you just had to realize that the characters had eaten lead paint as kids. Totally dense and illogical and even at the end, the plot was ruined by even more direction stupidity. If a small amount of nudity is all you wanted, use Google. Really, this film is not worth wasting your time on.

This is a poor remake of an already unexceptional movie. A remake could make sense if there were significant cultural barriers or if the original was based on such old technologies that people wouldn't watch it anymore (like Metropolis - black and white, silent, old timey effects, etc, but still a story that can be made interesting to the public again if presented in a more modern format).

But they didn't remake 1927's Metropolis, they remade an average 2006 movie (itself already a sequel to a very similar and very average movie) which last aired on Portuguese TV's not that long ago. Not only did they not do a good job, but they resorted to what seems to be the reason behind the choice: getting a couple high profile Portuguese actresses to be semi-naked, which invariably attracts Portuguese viewers. It is a cheap shot in too many ways.

The argument seams forced. Most of the dialogues aren't natural, with rigid language. The beginning of the film starts by setting up the relationships between the characters, but it starts off by demotivating the viewing of the rest of the movie. The movie then progresses going through all the expected cliches. Leaving little to the imagination, in a progression that is as predictable as it gets.

A good movie to study all that shouldn't be done.
