Review of The Shallows (2016) by Gazmc — 30 Jun 2016
Huge Letdown.
The trailers and even the first 40 minutes of the movie were excellent. It set a good tone, the filming and angles were tremendous, the shark itself was extremely well done as well as being intimidating/believable.
However, things began to turn to the ridiculous after the 40 minute mark. A large gash to the leg, losing blood heavily, dehydrated, hungry and generally weak, yet after 48 hours she finds her strength and turns into the incredible Hulk and takes on the shark.
The final 10 minutes were like something out of Sharknado; the Great White jumping out of the water to crash into objects, the CGI went from very well done to absolutely awful and the whole thing was utterly ridiculous.
Such a good first half ruined by a terrible second half.
