Why it’s a Weeknight Watch
With a box office loss and almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for people who like to watch through their fingers and people who love a story set somewhere strange. Popcorn viewing in the best sense. Same wavelength as Spectral or Alien: Romulus.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 30 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG-13: scary moments. Probably too much for younger kids.
- Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.
A military vessel on the search for an unidentified submersible finds themselves face to face with a giant shark, forced to use only what they have on board to defend themselves from the monstrous beast.
