Randall-Flagg01 Ok, so I had been putting off watching this, but figured I'd dive in after being completely disappointed and depressed after watching the lousy The Meg this weekend. I was surprised to enjoy 47 Meters, much more than I did The Meg. There is excellent suspense and good underwater scenes. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of flaws, but after subjecting myself to The Meg, this was a breath of fresh air.

tresm87 6.8/10 A solid shark thriller with some genuinely well executed suspenseful sequences and a somewhat unexpected ambitious ending. The cgi sharks i thought looked very well and were utilized properly and the underwater environment was portrayed marvelously. At times Moore and Holt are extremely cliche and annoying but honestly thats the main downfall and this is quite underrated.

bushtucker It's a bit slow but shows you what can happen I enjoyed it

kitellis-98121 A solid, easy to watch shark-attack movie.Not without its flaws, but mostly ones of the sort that won't bother non-dive experts. This stands up well alongside such films as The Reef, The Shallows, Open Water, Black Water, Rogue, Frozen, and the like.CG sharks have pretty much been cracked now, and so has underwater blue-screen, so there's not much in the VFX to distract the viewer from all the typical cat-scares required of the genre.Nicely shot, with good light and good lenses on the surface, and chopped broccoli (no lie) in the tank to add particulates to the underwater scenes. Overall, it works pretty well. The film looks slick and professional throughout. The script, as is often the case with these type of films, is the weakest link, closely followed by the acting. However, nothing about it is bad. Just not great.Unusually for a film in this genre the running time is respectable; none of the usual 75 minutes malarkey that leaves you feeling short-changed. And unlike most films in the genre, this one doesn't fill half its running time with boring and poorly executed setting-up (padding) at the beginning. It jumps straight in, so to speak, and fills almost the full 90 minutes with actual story and action. This alone makes it stand out.However, despite its many good qualities and general lack of failings (apart from factual errors which can be ignored in the interest of drama), there is one rather unforgivable blemish which somewhat spoils the whole experience, and that is the ending, which is weak, contrived, and entirely unsatisfying. Trying hard to avoid spoilers, I'd say that the film would be vastly improved by ending it on the surface, rather than what happened afterwards. But maybe that's just me. Overall, though, a very enjoyable addition to the genre.
