No Way Up

This definitely isn't gonna be the best film of the year, but it is decent and entertaining to watch. Most actors do a solid job, most notably the main actress, even though the boyfriend and the best friend characters could have benefited from better directing and a few more acting classes. There was some unnecessary backstorying involved with the side characters and you do have to suspend belief for a few of the scenes, but nothing you don't already do with most shark films. I enjoyed the dry humor and the witty dialogue, and was heavily engaged by the time the last part rolled around.

It really isn't one of those horrible-low budget-bad acting-disaster films most reviewers on here claim it is, definitely judge by yourself.

Mediocre horror-themed movie at sea, released in 2024. It's a cheap and boring movie, with scenes that don't make sense.

First of all, the characters are extremely repulsive. That's why you can't feel sad or excited for anyone. With a good script, director and cast, it would likely be an extremely tense movie. The man managed to make the audience experience tension and despair throughout the movie by leaving only a married couple in the middle of the ocean (See: Open Water)

In this movie, the plane crashes into the ocean and lands on the seabed. A living space remains inside, but there are sharks outside too. There are people who cry hysterically or make jokes in many situations.

As someone who gives these kinds of movies a chance and enjoys watching the ones I find good, I say this movie is a waste of time.

There is no sexuality or nudity in the movie.

This is a case of if the filmmakers had a big budget, and bigger stars that this film would have been far better.

For what is was, No Way Up is an entertaining film, that showed a great deal of potential. I don't think it was any less believable than say Meg and Meg 2. So I don't see why it is getting the hate. Sometimes you have to watch a movie and appreciate that the filmmaker did the best they could. This is definitely the case. I was not bored once whilst watching No Way Up. I would have to say it is actually better than all the other shark films that have surfaced lately. So if you can watch a film for what it is, and appreciate the potential it had, you should enjoy this film.

Haven't seen so much tripe in all my years, how do people pay to watch this mediocre rubbish is beyond me. The only interest I had in it was the shark story, as we are all still gripped by Jaws, but this took it to new depths !! From poor acting to no real story it never got off the "sea bed", apologies for the poor joke probably as bad as the film. If you are a film lover and a student of the arts, this is not for you by a country mile, stick to the muppet show or Sesame Street if you're that way inclined. Me, I'm off to watch jaws again to redeem my faith in decent shark movies - please be kind if you are replying to my appraisal 😀

I was undecided about the rating... I wanted to give 4 but then I decided to give it a 3.

I am a fan of movies about sharks. I think I watched all of them. Yeah sometimes they are unrealistic, but shark swimming down the aisle of an airplane is whole another level!

Order of illogical scenes made me think how filmmaker brain works and how anyone can see this as logical and normal?

Found the movie quite boring, I almost fell asleep. It didn't hold my attention and it was predictable.

Worth watching?

Not really.

Would I watch if there was part 2?

Absolutely. Just because I have soft spot for shark movies.
