This movie was a complete waste of time. I'm surprised that I continued watching until the end. Whenever I watch a horrible movie, I compare it to this.

This never should have been made into a full length movie, it has some credibility and the circumstance they are in makes for an alright plot. It would have done much better as a 10 minute short film and would get the point across much moreThis never should have been made into a full length movie, it has some credibility and the circumstance they are in makes for an alright plot.

How did this movie earn a Saturn Award? The acting was awful. Never did the actors manage to convey the feelings that any normal people would feel in this terrifying situation.

The only decent acting was a 30 second clip of dude throwing a screaming fit of rage. One of the worst movies I've ever seen.

I can't believe the critics' rave reviews! Yeah, it was free of the usual Hollywood gimmicks; yeah it puts you right in the flippers of the doomed swimmers; yeah it was realistic. But it has ZERO story. Films shouldn't be I can't believe the critics' rave reviews! Yeah, it was free of the usual Hollywood gimmicks; yeah it puts you right in the flippers of the doomed swimmers; yeah it was realistic. But it has ZERO story. Films shouldn't be realistic just to be realistic. Films tell stories. There was nothing in this film I couldn't imagine in my own head or read in a paragraph.… Expand

Bad home movie combining bad video, bad actor, bad story, bad everything. Quite consistent.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. “Based on a True Story”
What a load. This movie was so ridiculous I had to make an account just to tell people don’t watch it, unless you literally want to waste an hour and a half. The acting was horrible—they’re stranded in the ocean and they barely complain about it? Really? Or when they do it’s horribly portrayed. The ending was awful, and has massive plot holes, as well as both of the characters dying. Not sure how the “true story” was told if both spectators weren’t found but, I’m not sure I’ve never been stranded like that, maybe I have more than half a brain cell.… Expand

This will forever remain in my mind as one of the most over hyped and misleading, promotion heavy movies that ultimately led to and my most disappointing trip to the movies. Ever.
