Presas do Abismo

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 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.

I usually enjoy cheesy/campy "thrillers" like this, but this one was tough to get through. It's pretty obvious that the director only had about 30 minutes of plot, so he filled in the rest of the movie with long, boring, meaningless and unnecessary flashbacks in order to stretch the movie and give Richard Dreyfuss something to do so they could slap his name on the poster in order to give the movie some legitimacy. I wasn't expecting high art, but I was hoping it would at least be entertaining. Bad dialogue, plot holes, cheap looking CGI, and hammy acting were expected (and delivered) but they could have at least added some semblance of a plot and anything to hold your attention. The flashbacks were so redundant and drawn out. Dreyfuss was just mailing this one in. He probably received a nice big check, shot all his scenes in a day or two, took a nice vacation, then hoped and prayed that this movie would never see the light of day. Out of respect for the legendary Richard Dreyfuss, please skip this movie and we can all just pretend that it never happened.

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."

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'.
