I was really looking forward to this movie because I'm a long time Sharkweek fan, but this movie truly disappointed. The acting wasn't particularly good even with Josh Duhamel who is a great actor. The story is supposedly "based on true events," but it differs in many points with one huge difference so it's really inspired by. The effects with the sharks were particularly good though and looked very realistic. I saw Shark After Dark where they showed some behind the scenes and it was interesting. The effects for the injured crewperson, in reality there was more than one, were not particularly convincing and looked more like bad makeup. I think more time could have been spent developing the time in the water as it was forced and haphazard. Regardless, Sharkweek is awesome, so it's a must watch. The shame is that the Meg movie (Sharkweeks' not the one with Jason S) from a few years ago was far better even though it got killed by reviewers. It's worth watching from the standpoint that it was a true life and death struggle with emotions of sadness, dispair, survival, and inner strength.
