Blind Waters

Lemme start off with this. This movie is horrible never watch the movie. The sfx are bad the graphics are horrible the acting is even worse. 2nd of all they were both stranded and they find a random man and then they get the boat to work and the coast guard went to go help her when she was in the water and then fireworks come out of no where like what the hell man. 0/10 never watch. It's a waste of time i literally was screaming at the tv cause it was so bad. If you want to waste your time go ahead but not me im never watching that movie again. If i could talk to the actors i would criticize them on how bad they were. As you can see i gave it absolutely no stars.

Terrible movie, waste of the runtime you could spend doing anything else more interesting including watching paint dry.

The shark wishes it could be as well done as the one in jaws, a movie made.almost 50 years ago and let's mpt ,emtion the story (or lack thereof) or teh acting.

It is not even bad enough it is good, just plain bad and that's coming from someone that usually enjoys cheap sharkl movies. This one is just plain bad and a waste of time. Watch ANYTHING else really.

What can I say more to complete this review? I mean The Shallows is also a ridiculous movie where a shark kills and eats so many people during the runtime that must have been one hungry shark but it is highly watchable, this one isn't, not just because it is ridiculous just because it is terrible in every way.

When I stumbled upon this 2023 shark movie titled "Blind Waters", of course I had to watch it, as I have something for sharks. But needless to say that I wasn't really harboring much of any grand expectations, as the majority of shark movies tends to be dubious and questionable movies.

And then when the movie started, those to dreadful words appeared on the screen: The Asylum. Yep, this was another movie from The Asylum, though it wasn't their archetypical mockbuster type of movie. Regardless, I still opted to watch "Blind Waters", as some movies from The Asylum actually are entertaining.

Writer and director Anthony C. Ferrante put together a fair enough script and storyline for the movie. Sure, one can argue for whether or not it was generic, but then again, isn't it sort of limited just how much you can differentiate a shark-themed movie? With that being said, then I found the storyline to be entertaining.

The acting performances in "Blind Water" were fair. It wasn't a particularly big cast ensemble, nor was it any recognizable actors or actresses on the cast list. But I will say that the cast ensemble actually put on good enough performances to carry the movie.

Visually then "Blind Waters" was somewhat of a mixed bag of nuts. Some of the special effects, whether it was CGI or practical, were quite good, but on the other hand, then some of the effects were rather questionable. But all in all, it was actually not too shabby.

I found that "Blind Waters" proved to be a fair enough shark-themed movie. Sure, it wasn't a particularly outstanding or memorable shark movie, but it was good enough for a single viewing. The movie's cover/poster, however, set up the movie to be a bit more exciting than what writer and director Anthony C. Ferrante actually delivered.

My rating of "Blind Waters" lands on a five out of ten stars.

The movie is really bad. Don't lose your time. Even but the usually shark movie standards this is really a bad one. I'm. Willing to pin the other way about the special effect and CGI but the plot is absurd. The acting is mediocre at best and the characters don't make any sense. And don't get me started about the shark. Is mightiest than Thor. I now this kid of movies are made to just pass the time but in this case it falls short my a milestone. Watch 47 meters down. It way better, the budget of the too is very similar but the movie is far superior. This one is just bad. Even taking into account the director is the same one from sharkanado don't expect anything enjoyable.

Anthony Ferrante is now left to direct small scale shark movies in the aftermath of his Sharknado films becoming both the summit and pit of such things. That was all awhile ago now. Those films had larger and larger budgets and probably helped crasht the Science Fiction channelas they finally stopping making their lousy CGI ANIMAL attack movies. The fact that is over is something to be thankful for, but sadly Ferrante was unable to escape from the cheap but still clutching at him movie produced by The Asylum, a company that pays so little the State of California Labor board was actually after them for awhile.

In this one a too skinny girl and her too handsome boyfriend encounter a too much like BIlly Zane in Dead calm guy, rather well acted by Francisco Angelini. It'd be nice to see him have a real career, his take on the "Indianapolis" speech--if you dont' know what that is then you've never watched a shark movie before--is well done, though somewhat ruined by a sudden need, by the director, to shake the camera around, perhaps thinking this is the Blair Witch confessional/goodbye cruel work, mom I loved you, moment from that film. Hard to keep the iconic rip off moments straight I guess.

A couple of the cgi shark shots look okay, none of the shark attacks are convincing or scary or exciting. Some nice drone shots, which could be stock footage but probably aren't. A choppy ineffective music score credited to three people--probably just reused music from other Asylum produced movies.

It takes them 53 minutes to figure out they can use a cell phone to call for help and that's the least of the logic problems in the movie.

The movie is bits of other shark movies and basically runs out of ideas about an hour in so the lead gal then becomes more of less blind and we get back to a kind of Dead Calm plot for a bit. There are a numbe of soft focus shots supposed to be the point of view of our hapless lead gal, but none of them match what would be her natural perspective, the point of view shots aren't her actual point of view, though they often try to be. Someone kicks her and is aiming way off camera, this type of thing happens over and over.

It's just after so many years and so many shark movies you'd think Ferrante would have it down to an art or at least a craft, then again these are now made for so little money is so little time maybe there just isn't any art or craft that can escape. Ferrante is left to try to do what he can in the remains of Asyulm the production company. Too bad for him, but as viewers we can look elsewhere in this case.

This film is better than SWIM which Ferrante just wrote, to be even more terribly directed by Jared Cohnhead. Swim I believe was the first movie to bear the shame of the TUBI ORIGINAL brand, one we can only hope leaves behind what was done to death and badly a few years ago to do some films that can be more like Tubi's wide ranging titles. To be clear I like Tubi as a streaming network and I hope for better from this ORIGINAL BRAND, but I've not gotten it yet.

I suppose this film could be a drinking game with every time a character yells, "Faster." or "Swim," of or course "Shark."
