If you like Extreme EXTREME Close Ups filmed on an iPod Shuffle, then oo boy do I have the film for you.

_Final rating:★½: – Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible._

You are in for a disappointment if you are expecting this to be a shark movie. Open Water, which reminded me of Force Majeure (2014), is instead about the tension brewing between two husband-wife divers who are left to adrift by their crew in the middle of a reef. Based on an odd true story, it is about the delirium, the panic attack, and the sheer fear of being shark food when you are in the middle of an ocean infested with sharks, stingrays, and barracudas than about being preyed on by sharks, which makes it a slightly dull movie to watch, especially if you are a shark movie connoisseur like me. There are hardly any jumpscares or thrills here, their lack of which is aggravated by some odd humming music and found footage-like camera work. But it does have some brilliant dialogues that are tinged with humour and wisdom, which is supported by some level of suspense, making it a worthwhile watch if you like natural survival films. Give it a try. (Grade C+). TN.

Over-rated But a Nice Try: No Competition for “Shark Week”
Director Chris Kentis and his wife, Laura Lau, are Manhattanites with one previous film to their credit, “Grind.” “Open Water” is a labor of love and a fine exemplar of unflagging commitment and energy. It took the couple several years to get this Indie flick filmed, screened and – mirabile dictu – caught up in the kind of sudden rapture that allows the real powerhouses of the film industry to boast that they’re always looking for that non-studio gem from outsiders just waiting for deserved discovery.

Well, they haven’t a gem here but it’s not a disaster either. Based on the actual disappearance of an American couple in the Pacific who were scuba diving and were left by their guide boat (a story that has some crime/conspiracy addicts claiming the couple is either still alive somewhere or there was a murder/suicide: take your pick), Kentis and Lau created a similar tale.

Newcomers to the movie screen, very pretty Blanchard Ryan plays Susan and Daniel Travis, Daniel. They’re a couple (not clear if they’re married but who cares) with a very nice suburban house and good jobs. Susan’s job is a real 24/7 deal causing the couple to have to book a scuba diving vacation in the Caribbean at the last minute – their original and safer plans succumbed to her work priorities.

This couple graduated seamlessly and affluently from Yuppiehood to DINK (Double Income-No Kids) status. So they can afford this great vacation.

They dive with about twenty other people. An SOP exists for making sure that everyone is aboard before the boat departs the area but Susan and Daniel are left high and dry. Actually low and wet. Why? Because that greatest of all universal forces, Negligence, permitted a fatal miscount.

What follows is a conversation flick as Daniel and Susan alternately hug and cuddle and then argue. Daniel starts off giving the not initially worried Susan tips based on his viewing of “Shark Week” and other armchair adventure cable shows. But as the situation becomes more serious with no sign of rescue the couple cathartically exhumes the domestic grievances that are as common as the cold for young professionals.

The sharks (actually corralled by unseen herders) make regular appearances. The excellent sound system in the Loew’s Lincoln Square theater was augmented today by frequent cries from at least three viewers strategically seated around the perimeter of the audience.

This isn’t an anti-shark movie. It’s a pale story but the two leads give it their best. Susan’s Dramamine wears off soon, she announces. Actually it’s at the point where some motion sickness-sensitive moviegoers might well need the little pill themselves as the digital cameras rise and fall, rise and fall, rise and fall.

Perhaps because Ryan and Travis are so inexperienced as actors there’s a certain innocent believability in their behavior and conversation.

Blanchard Ryan said in an interview that she didn’t mind doing a nude scene early in the movie because she thought no one would see it. Wrong. By word of mouth and with some extravagant reviews this movie is packing them in, at least here in Gotham.

Digital Video movies are still clearly inferior to those shot on standard stock. When the story and characters are really interesting, as in “Pieces of April,” the washed out quality can be ignored. Not here as the ocean swells rise and fall, rise and fall, rise and fall.

6/10

Good movie but it was a little boring
While vacationing in Barbados, a married couple (Blanchard Ryan and Daniel Travis) are left out at sea by their scuba diving boat, leaving them at the mercy of the elements including a few hundred very hungry sharks.

Open Water is a love it or hate it type of movie. You will either hate the fact that all they do is float in the middle of the ocean or you will love that idea and enjoy watching the film. For the most part, I enjoyed the movie. It was suspenseful and scary without really being over the top and gory. The fact that the story is based on true events just makes the whole thing scarier. I usually don’t really like movies that are “based on true events” since it is usually a cheap gimmick. However, it worked for Open Water and the movie was a little more believable. There were some unrealistic moments but most of the film seemed to be realistic.

Blanchard Ryan and Daniel Travis play the stranded couple and this is their first real starring roles. They both give good performances adding more suspense to the movie. Chris Kentis did a fantastic job at directing. He knows how to get under the viewer’s skin. He offers some very intense and scary moments. While there was plenty of suspense, there were a few yawns as well. There were times when nothing was happening and the film was kind of dull.

This shouldn’t really be surprisingly considering the movie is really just about people floating. It didn’t bother me too much since the film is pretty short. Chris Kentis may have done a good job behind the camera but the script is kind of weak. There were too many unrealistic moments that kind of hurt the movie. There were a few nagging plot holes that were hard to ignore. They weren’t severe or anything, just a mild distraction from the film. I wished there had been some more action to explain what had happened. However, the director wants the viewer to use his/her imagination. The ending was pretty good and it was different from your typical Hollywood ending. In the end, there are enough chills and thrills to make up for the sluggish pace. Rating 7/10
