Paul Magne Haakonsen For some reason I managed to get to watch parts 1 and 3 of the "Open Water" movies, but never got the chance to watch part 2 before now. I must admit that with the track record of the previous movies, then I wasn't particularly thrilled to sit down to watch "Open Water 2: Adrift".It turned out that this movie was every bit as slow paced and mundane as parts 1 and 3. So no surprise there. Not that I had expected any different, mind you. So on that account, no major surprises.The story told in "Open Water 2: Adrift" certainly had some interesting enough aspects, but was horribly weighed down by the fact that way too little happened throughout the movie. And that resulted in the movie feeling like it was dragging on and much longer than it actually was.The acting in the movie was adequate, although there weren't really any outstanding performances that won me over. People were doing good enough jobs, no doubt about it. But they had next to nothing to work with."Open Water 2: Adrift" was somewhat of an ordeal to get through, and I must admit that I am rating it a sinking score of 3 out of 10 stars - just like I rated parts 1 and 3.

xahnegrey Also, swimming in the open ocean is always dangerous.. usually at least one person will watch for sharks.. they love to see what is splashing around on the surface.. also, a ladder or rope or both is always a must.. but really, all hands should never be in the water at once...so this crew was pretty stupid.. the ocean can kill you many ways... like everything else, if you ain't paying attention, life can sure make you pay.. these ninnies shouldn't have been in anything but a small neighborhood pool on floats.

Chase_Witherspoon Watchable if at times frustrating tale of a six-pack of friends/acquaintances who find themselves stranded in the ocean unable to reach the deck of their luxury yacht after a moment of patent idiocy. Compounding the situation, one of the couples has an infant daughter still aboard the vessel, alas too young to fend for herself nor come to their rescue.The idiocy of the characters' response to their predicament is overwhelming - I appreciate a regular Joe/Jill's judgement would be impaired in such a situation, but the sheer scale and repetitiveness of this brainless behaviour is staggering. A cynical viewer might suggest the filmmakers conceived the most inept reactions you could make in the circumstances, and then made a movie showcasing that stupidity. Mistake after mistake leaves few survivors and whilst the methods are all unique, there's a conspicuously absent MO that disappointed me the most (though I won't spoil the surprise).Bares zero relation to its predecessor other than the tenuous concept of being stranded at sea, and whilst the panic and mood patterns displayed seem realistic, the situations are all clichés compounded by an ambiguous ending that disappoints. Not terrible, but falls short of expectations.

atinder I just open water few days ago, I didn't think all that great at all. If you think open water had no plot , then this movies actually as not plot to story. A least open water had sharks in the movies, I did expect to sharks in this movie.We just see bunch good looking in mid 20 or early 30, who get stuck in water.That is actually plot and I just could not care about anyone in this movie, I just found them very annoying 2 out of 10
