Disappointing Shark Adventure - 47 Meters Down: Uncaged review by CD

The actors do their best with a limited plot, constrained script (mainly via diving mask and intercom) and context. The shark sequences seem repetitive but the Mayan underground caves add a little bit of drama. The teenage characters are not too one dimensional which is a plus and there is a refreshing lack of cliche around who falls prey to the sharks. I stayed to the end as there was enough here to keep watching, but not quite enough to be entertained.

Don't Bother - 47 Meters Down: Uncaged review by GI

A routine monster horror that steals from just every nasty shark movie and a couple of others too. You can break it down thus: a group of pretty but dopey teenagers go scuba diving in an underwater ancient city, get trapped and are then pursued by some large, blind and very hungry sharks all the time running low on air. The bullied, shy one will inevitably prove the bravest, the brief respite from heroic rescuer will end suddenly when he snuffs it and it's never quite over until it is! It steals shamelessly from Deep Blue Sea (1999), there's the inevitable Jaws homage and the plot is a copy of The Descent (2005) with none of the panache or originality. A comic book throwaway that offers nothing new, it's all been done before and much, much better.

47 metres down - 47 Meters Down: Uncaged review by SE

A pretty good film,, a bit dark in places to see,, plenty of jump out of your seat moments. A good idea for a plot but could have worked on it a little more.

Not a patch on the first one! - 47 Meters Down: Uncaged review by TB

They should have a stuck with their approach in the filming of the first one (which was pretty good) and just adjusted the storyline slightly; much like how the classic ‘Jaws’ films did. However they instead decided to go with a crazy storyline that had so many flaws and faults that it felt more like an underwater version of the Abyss meets Alien, meets blind sharks.

The twist at the end was quirky and clever but not enough to save this film.

The first one is a good watch but this was woeful.
