Untamed is a good watch-the stunning backdrop alone, will make it worth your while. Bana delivers an intense performance, embodying both vulnerability and strength, while Santiago adds emotional depth with her portrayal, creating a strong chemistry that will draw you into the story. It was also good to see Raoul Max Trujillo (Apocalypto). The cinematography is great, and captures the majestic landscapes, enhancing its menacing atmosphere. However, the pacing is a little off, it feels somewhat rushed, with key plot developments and character arcs lacking exploration, which will tend to leave you wanting more depth. Despite these issues, it's engaging with a blend of suspense and emotional resonance, making it captivating. Give it a shot.

The documentary aims to explore the world of sharks and those who claim to communicate with them, but ultimately prioritizes spectacle over scientific rigor. While the stunning visuals showcase these majestic creatures in their natural habitat, the film falls short in providing a factual representation, echoing the sentiment of one speaker who states, "it's all for show and not science." Personal stories of the so-called "shark whisperers" dominate the narrative, overshadowing critical issues surrounding shark populations and their ecosystems, and neglecting to incorporate credible scientific research or expert opinions. This documentary serves as a reminder of the fine line between storytelling and scientific exploration, raising ethical questions about portraying wildlife interactions as mystical rather than grounded in evidence, leaving viewers wanting more substance and authenticity in their exploration of marine life.

This movie definitely lives up to its name - it's a whirlwind of confusion, poor acting, and a script that feels like it was written during a coffee break. The plot, if you can call it that, meanders aimlessly without any clear direction. The characters are so one-dimensional that they make cardboard cutouts seem complex. The dialogue is cringe-worthy, filled with clichés and awkward pauses that had me wondering if the actors were reading from cue cards.

The cinematography, which should have been the film's saving grace, is nothing short of amateurish. There are moments that seem to be shot with a shaky hand, and the lighting is so inconsistent that I half-expected to see a crew member walking through the frame.

The special effects, meant to depict the titular twisters, are laughable at best. Instead of feeling the thrill of nature's fury, I felt more like I was watching a low-budget theme park ride malfunction.

Overall, it's a boring mess, but if you have some time to waste and want a bunch of laughs, give it a shot. Better yet, save yourself the trouble and skip this one!
