Cage Dive (2017)

Watched this film today really enjoyed the plot. Also enjoyed the reality of the sharks' behaviour. Compliments to the director and cast

Looking at a recovered camera, the investigation into a shipwrecked group of tourists who got stranded in shark-infested waters off the coast of Australia recounts how the group attempted to film an audition video of them cage-diving with sharks and must try to survive the experience.This ended up being quite a rather unappealing effort. One of the main problems here is the fact that this one never features much of anything happening for much of the running time. Keeping so much of the running time concerned with the efforts of the modern-day focus to explain what happened rather than just letting the whole thing play out as it should as all the talking heads talking about the accident and the recovery efforts manages to hold off the amount of time it can spend on the incident itself. Likewise, that also ends up spoiling what happens to the group significantly by giving their outcome way before the film even starts with the friends which leaves this one with no suspense about their plight being told almost immediately into the film. As well, all the time spent on the beginning with their lives together really just eats at the time that could've been spent on the interactions with the survivors of the accident in the way which is where this one really could've had some good times here with that particular type of scene. The last real issue with this one is the fact that there's no real chance to see the films' big money scenes with the inability to focus on the main attacks which really limits their impact and effectiveness. The aftermath of the wave that strands them is handled with such a flurry of random activity in a rapid blur of foaming water and chaos that it's only after the fact you can tell what happened, the scenes of the sharks rushing up and attacking are cut away before anything happens and the idea of what's going on here in the later scenes are rendered completely moot by the utter first-person shooting scenario that keeps it all focused on the individual shooting it rather than allowing us a chance to see what's going on. That really lets the film down, alongside the inability to care about anyone involved her due to the revelations that spring up in the second half, which all manages to hold this one down against it's few good points. Unlike most other efforts in the genre, this one doesn't really seem ludicrous as for why they would keep filming, as the need for enhanced visuals or night-vision to see in the dark means that the need for the camera is always there and that does seem somewhat fresh and original. As well, the fact that the realism of their peril together gives this a nice feel in the finale which is quite an impressive overall tone. These, though, don't make it hold up all that much.Rated R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.

I was lucky enough to have rented this garbage instead of purchasing. Firstly how the hell someone can come across an underwater video camera 20 kilometres out to sea and it was wedged into a rock ledge as well. What do they take us for? The next thing I hated about this movie was that it was in the found footage format. This is literally flogging a dead horse. The format has been used that much that it is becoming boring.The storyline just dragged and seem to be going nowhere. I am hoping that 47 Meters Down will be far more superior in content and acting.To the financiers behind the Open Water Series may I suggest you do something more with money that you are prepared simply throw away, you can throw it my way for the want of a beneficiary.To sum it all up don't waste your time and the electricity that you use to view this.

I give it a 2 for the cage, so its a found footage movie, with sharks.... the third installment of this awful franchise.To had to the drama of the 3 main character, the girlfriend is cheating with both brothers my my finally we are getting somewhere, since 90% of all people get separated divorce and more.MGTOW, for sure and 4 life, this movie brings nothing new to the table and is in fact very boring, the found footage gets old very fast the drama is awful and all actors cannot act to save there lives, i watch this turtle til the end because i was rooting for the sharks the best actors in the movie.
