If like me, you were lured in by the trailer, which to be fair for those of us that like shark movies, even though they're nearly all terrible, you can be forgiven for thinking this one would be different....

.....It wasn't unfortunately.

On the plus side, as is so often the case it is a nice idea, I love the idea of those cave sharks, blind, relying on sound, great, only they looked a little like Jaws III at times, and were a little on the dim side. The characters were such, that you didn't care if they got eaten or not, and apart from the quite brilliant scene used in the trailer (you can see why) it didn't really deliver many scares.

I won't say it was atrocious, because it wasn't, it is more what I'd class as a fun movie.

How long before a dive into the waters of The Arctic, and divers get terrified by Greenland sharks? One day.

Mehh, 4/10.

Grant (John Corbett) has brought his family down to Mexico for his cave diving business. His daughter Mia (Sophie Nélisse) gets bullied at school. His step-daughter Sasha (Corinne Foxx) is not happy with her new family either. The students are set to leave on a glass-bottom boat tour. Sasha convinces Mia to join her friends for an outing of their own. Mia leads the girls in a dive of a submerged Mayan ruin. All goes to hell with they are confronted by a cave shark.

The underwater thriller has some appeal but also a lot of difficulties. Despite a big mask, it is often tough to differentiate between each character. It's not quite jumping the shark but it's in the ballpark. It's highly unlikely that sharks could grow to such sizes with only food found in the caves. It would be more reasonable to have an ocean going shark get accidentally trapped underground. The final ending is pre-determined by the movie setup. It ends exactly as I expected. The details are somewhat problematic. Instead of a flare, she needs to get a spear gun. The slow motion needs to be eliminated. There is no way that people are getting chomped and still walk away.

Those who have high expectations are wrong here. But if you know what you will be getting involved with for the next 1,5 hours, then this movie is not bad at all, also the ending.

My nephews 9 and 16 loved it. I liked it a lot and would probably watch it again. It's one that is best in a theater like setting like the first one in my opinion. The scares are more effective in a theater setting due to that it does rely on a decent amount of jump scares. But and it's a big but... they are placed well and aren't cheap jumps. You jump for a reason and not just a noise so they're done right and effectively in my opinion. But it has plenty of scary moments and situations that aren't cheap jump scares. You can't call the jumps like you can in other movies and that's what makes it refreshing.

For what it is it did an amazing job and you should give it a chance. I think you'll like it. They might be pushing it with another one but this can stand alone as a decent creature feature that isn't boring in the slightest. The only reason it's getting a seven and not an eight is the horribly done word changes. I caught two moments where they changed what they said. I'm assuming for the rating since it was a crap in place of a cuss word and another that I can't remember off the top of my head but it was a cuss word. I wasn't happy with this. I'm tired of over censorship and I think this is one of those cases. A bunch of young girls are gonna cuss it's not surprising. Watch it and you'll most likely enjoy it. That's the only thing I didn't like about it.

I truly had no interest in seeing this film, with little marketing and a first film that by no means was deserving a sequel. However, with a fresh new cast and not much else out in theaters this past weekend, I thought I might as well give it a shot. Following in the footsteps of many other blockbuster style films this summer, 47 Meters Down: Uncaged is a harmlessly thrilling sequel that cares much more about its scares than it does in developing characters, but that's not really what you go to these movies looking for. Paced out well with tension that never seems to end, I couldn't help but be entertained by this sequel. Heck, I'll take another few of these. Shark movies always seem to have a great deal of appeal.

6.5/10

Apparently, these braindead girls are gifted with Telepathy since they can speak to each other and hear and listen to one another without earpods, or any significant gear for such action. I suppose that if you decide to overlook this " minor" detail and a few other insults to the intellect, meaning if you shut you brain off, you might enjoy the scares and, of course, root for the shark.

Rating 4.0/10 The first time i've seen the trailer i thought the movie would be amazing and full of thrilling scenes, unfortunetly i was wrong. The acting in it are mediocre and falls short of satisfaction. Not only that, the storyline not as good as i hoped. Truly bad shark movie.

I didn't expect this movie to be good. In fact I went and saw it specifically to see a bad, entertaining movie but I was pleasantly surprised. Don't get me wrong this isn't a good movie but for what it is, can you really ask for more?

The beginning is just lazy. There's little to no character development and when the four girls enter the cave you genuinely do not care about any of them. (I cant even really blame the actors for this cause the dialogue was just not given any effort whatsoever.)

But then the good part starts. The lazy direction and cinematography of the beginning goes away and there are actually some really cool shots and scenes. For a shark movie it's actually scary and the jump scares were actually well done for once.

By the time it ended I'd begun to actually vaguely care about the characters and I guess I just wanted some well directed shark kills with a storyline that gets more interesting and just better as it goes on.

All in all It's just dumb fun, nothing to dislike really. Sure it's not great but what more to do you want? It's a shark movie called 47 Meters Down Uncaged.

They really went far out to make something, to build a world, to really have something underground. Though once the mayhem starts nothing much is left of that. Still I would do a tour of the set if I ever was going to do deep diving (minus the sharks obviously).

Having said that, this is pretty bog standard and there is nothing special to it. Horror, blood and terror, you know all the ingredients you need - but not cooked to a degree that would make this special in any way

This movie was TERRIFYING!! Imagine yourself getting disoriented in an underwater maze knowing that you're oxygen supply is running out. Add to that, great white sharks. Now you're using your air quicker due to swimming hard and screaming. Did I mention the strong currents? This film had so much. I felt the acting was solid and I enjoyed the journey that this movie took me on. I even liked the SpongeBob ending spending time at the Chum Bucket. This movie had me on edge from the moment they jumped into the water. I really liked the first movie and thought they did a great job with this follow-up.

So I really enjoy these types of movies. And I always go into them knowing well enough that it is fictional, unlikely, and unrealistic. But that's what makes a MOVIE. If you are trying to be a critic and point out all of the flaws and have realistic expectations then you should stick to National Geographic or animal planet.

Now for those of you who enjoy movies and have an open mind, I recommend this movie. If you saw the first one then you kind of know the synopsis of what happens. I thought this one was a lot scarier and had more to it to keep you engaged. There were a few jump scenes some were predictable and some were very shocking. There are some parts of the movie that reminded me a lot of first one, like running out of air, sister bonding, and of course the sharks. If you haven't seen the first one it's OK it won't affect this movie at all. I probably wouldn't see it again only because this is one of those movies that is better in theater and it won't be as good a second time knowing what happens. But all in all I'm giving it an eight because it was rather enjoyable, had me on the edge of my seat, and had me rooting for the main character.

And the sharks were great, A+ for scary & toothy smiles.

The plot was okay but the acting was down right awful. I saw the first one on Netflix and I was surprised at how good it was but this mess here was terrible for something that was promoted in theaters. Perhaps they would've gotten better reviews if they skipped the box office and went straight to Redox or Netflix. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone!

Who funded this movie that should be in jail. Not to mention the writer.

It's exactly what it's suppose to be. It's corny in a lot of ways, with some subpar special effects but it's thrilling and it's undoubtedly entertaining. This movie is a simple story and it was executed in a thrilling way- the acting is good for WHAT the movie is. The special effects are good for WHAT the movie is. This was never meant to be a movie with a 20 million dollar budget, it was meant to be a sequel to the first equally corny, and equally simple storyline that was 47 Meters Down (the original). The acting was well done in portraying true terror in the moments it was needed. The only shortcoming I truly saw was the writing. I found there were too many moments that were suppose to have you on the edge of your seat- it became incredibly predictable after about 20 minutes of the in-water survival scenes. What I would've liked to see here is more story, and more build-up. More tension rather than climax climax climax from the writers. Again, I think it was good for what it is. It's a thrilling, and frankly corny ocean thriller. Though entertaining, I feel that there was some untapped potential in the actors, the choice of special effects and story. I probably would not watch the next movie if there was another one- but I don't regret watching this one as it was undoubtedly fun to watch despite its short-comings.
