Survive: Gestrandet im Ozean

Anyone who gives this movie more than 3 is on drugs, it's the worst movie I've watched for a while. The characters are not smart, the mom is so useless it's sad. The bad guy wouldn't last 5 minutes in real life and the daughter pathetic. He did have a an interesting premise, if you have a low IQ. Why they start talking French half way through is perfect, says all you need to know about this nonsense of a movie. Thought Hollywood was making crap movies, but the French have joined them it seems.so if you've got nothing else to watch, like paint drying or ants crawling on the floor, give this ludicrous movie a watch !

The story isn't great, but it's better than people on here are saying. It kept my attention and it wasn't predictable, and that's all I was hoping for. The characters are obviously not native English speakers, and they go from English to French randomly throughout the movie. It is a good depiction of how tragedies bring out the best in some people, and the worst in others. The acting is better than I thought it would be, as were the effects. It kept you on your toes and you're never quite sure what's going to happen next. I've definitely sat through much worse than this. It's worth a watch if you've got some time to kill.

So many stupid plot holes and stupid scenarios it starts to drag early in.

The stupid father, the really stupid kids who continually get themselves into trouble, the daughter in particular is really annoying.

The herd of carnivorous rampaging crabs is so ridiculous it is laughable, they move at a breathtaking pace and eat meat ? Where did they come from ? Outer space ?

Other stupid bits : within days of the disaster everything looks a 100 years old, the few humans that survive all want to kill each other, on sight, immediately, without thought. Where did all the dead fish go ? How did one little boat survive ? When will the family stop crying & screaming ? Way too much emotion, over and over. When did the mum become a crack shot ? How many triumphant moments within moments of despair can one film have ?

And then the sea comes back to round a fun holiday off, just silly.

A Gripping, Realistic Apocalyptic Drama for a Selective Audience This low-budget, apocalyptic movie stands out for its refreshing approach to the genre. By focusing on a family's survival story, led by a courageous female character, the film delivers a gripping narrative that eschews sensational disaster scenes and special effects.

Shot on real locations, the movie's grounded realism immerses the viewer in the world of the story. The method acting is impressive, adding depth to the characters' struggles.

While this film may not appeal to everyone, it will resonate with a selective audience seeking a more nuanced, character-driven apocalyptic drama. The pacing is well-balanced, making for a compelling watch.

Overall, I'd rate this movie 3/5. It's not a masterpiece, but its unique perspective and realistic approach make it a worthy watch for fans of independent cinema. In fact, the story has enough potential to be developed into a series, exploring the characters' journeys in more depth. Sudden End to Story wasn't expecting :(

This movie is entertaining if there is nothing else on. The plot is silly; the magnetic poles somehow reverse and the ocean drains to the other side of the earth? And the speed at which it happens is comical. Miles of water goes missing in a matter of hours? Sure....

The family is pretty stupid as well, especially the mom. She spends most of the time being hysterical and moaning. Terrible actress.

The movie itself is frustrating to watch in that for a while they are speaking English, then about halfway through they switch to French. To make matters worse, the captioning for the movie is the worst I've ever seen. Often makes no sense whatsoever.

The ending of the movie is unsatisfying and pretty stupid.

I give it a 3 at best. Okay if you have absolutely nothing else to watch.
