sharks = anxiety
4½💀 Like the first film, this takes place among the Great Barrier Reef. With the same kind of tension and unnerving moments, along with footage of a real shark, you can tell that the great master of the subgenre, Andrew Traucki, is once more at the helm. Some of the mistakes of the first film are even corrected (ie. don't splash around unnecessarily and "stop paddling"). Still no biffing the shark on the nose, though. 😁😉 Nothing is perfect. Fans of this genre/subgenre, please watch this.
First Reef was WAY better
Pretty standard wildness/animal attack survival story. Gets a bit slow at parts. I like: the woman are not catty or at each other's throats, they focus on survival. I dislike: characterizing sharks as bloodthirsty killers or allegories to domestic violence.
I like it, not bad at all, but the shark is a lazy MF.
