17 Dec 2005 Open Waters Review

[Review] There are times where I don't like my job as a reviewer. It's the times where it becomes a chore to expose myself to the boring medium that I think "Why do I bother?" That was one of the many negative feelings I had when I watching Open Waters, along with "This is crap" and "Why the hell is that shot in the movie?? This scene does nothing for the movie". A movie that tried to capture the thriller feel of The Blair Witch Project but fails to do so.

So here's the full story; a couple go on holiday for an open water scuba diving experience, they get left behind due to a stupid error in head counting by the staff, they float around... float around some more.... have pointless arguments... flaot some more........ Oh yeah they get stung by jellyfish and get nibbled at by fish.... float some more.... vomit and piss themselves... float... gets dark.... man gets eaten by sharks.... women gives up and dies.... the end.... So nothing really happens.

The whole thing is boring to watch and you just don't care for the characters. Even at the end with all the (two) deaths you couldn't care less about the characters. I even think the film was padding out with pointless shots at random things because they just didn't have enough tape material. "Oooh I know, lets film that seagull for a minute, that'll buy us some time".

I even got bored writing this review! While I was writing this I got bored so I watched a bit of The House of the Dead movie and then proceeded to punish myself with a barbed whip.

In short, don't waste your money watching this movie. You'll demand your money and your 80 minutes of your life back from the video rental store.

GRAX RATING: 0/5
