Into the Deep

"Into the Deep" (2025) is a disaster of a movie that fails on every level. The sound effects are terrible and add nothing to the atmosphere, while the scenario is dull, poorly thought out, and completely lacks common sense. The story is uninspired, filled with clichés, and drags on with no sense of excitement or tension. It's clearly a low-budget production with cheap-looking visuals and unconvincing CGI, especially the sharks. There are no jump scares, no thrilling moments, and absolutely nothing attractive or entertaining about it. In short, there's not a single aspect of this film that can be praised-it's a complete waste of time.

It's been a while since I've bothered to officially review anything on here, this, however, was a must !

I didn't expect anything groundbreaking or worthy of an Oscar. What I did expect, is better than this !

Holy cowabunga, is this what has become of Richard Dreyfuss ? After playing 'Hooper' in the legendary 'Jaws'......he then participated in this.......this.......this can only be classed as absolutely terrible ?!

Characters = no personality, you can't warm too or associate with any of them.

Dialogue = poor, at best.

Story = been done more than once.

Scenery = erm......not exactly great.

CGI = nothing more than abysmal.

I'm just going to leave it at that and hope there aren't too many others out there expecting better.

I'm disappointed in myself for thinking this could've at least been deemed 'acceptable'.

I normally would not have watched this, but the hubby wanted to, so there you go. It was not the worst movie I've ever seen, but it certainly wasn't the best. There was one particularly bad effect that almost had me laughing out loud, but I was pleasantly surprised that most of the movie was not completely unwatchable. In fact, at times it was rather entertaining, and there were a couple of pretty good performances.

Richard Dreyfus was, of course, excellent, but I confess it makes me sad when I see an Oscar winner playing a supporting role in a B movie. But, as they say, "That's show business."

If you're looking for a shark movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat, Into the Deep (2025) falls short. The film relies on predictable tropes, with scares that don't land and a story that doesn't bring anything fresh to the genre. The characters lack depth, and the visual effects, while not terrible, don't make up for the lack of tension.

That said, it's not entirely unwatchable. If you're in the mood for something mindless to fill some time, it's serviceable as casual entertainment. Just don't expect to be thrilled or deeply engaged. For shark movie fans, it might scratch the itch, but it's not a standout. It's the kind of movie you can have on in the background, but it won't leave a lasting impression.

Into the Deep (2025) is an absolute mess of a film. The plot is shallow and riddled with clichés, the characters are completely forgettable, and the dialogue feels like it was written by someone who gave up halfway through. It tries to be a serious thriller, but instead, it drags on with predictable twists and zero suspense.

The sharks, which should be the highlight, are laughably bad. The CGI is outdated and unconvincing, completely robbing the movie of any tension or excitement. Instead of creating a sense of fear, it feels like the filmmakers didn't even try to make the visuals remotely believable.

Honestly, even Sharknado is way better. At least that film is entertaining in its absurdity. Into the Deep doesn't even manage to be fun-it's just dull and forgettable. Don't waste your time.
