It ain't no survival story...think about it...stuck in the middle of the ocean for about 24 hours, drifting, getting stung by jelly fish, nipped at by sharks, dehydrated, hungry, tired, cold, motion sickness...no one notices your missing...very scary and the ending is incredibly sad...I LOVE scary movies...more than anyone I know...and I love being scared...but this was just depressing...along the lines of Deliverance depressing...it was good, but man it leaves you feeling very sad.

Do yourself a favor and go see a real feelgood movie like the Exorcist...

The movie is horrible. Theres nothing exciting that happens during the whole thing and then all of a sudden the movie just ends. The word boring describes this movie best.

D-dog, I'm pretty new here, and don't know most of you, but I felt the need to say something.

Even I want your old avatar back.

and unlike most movies, this one can't have a "we're gonna die so let's have hot sex" scene.

Thank God - If I want to see sex I'll go with the porn - there are few things more painful than watching yet another version of the "sex before death" cliche - unless it's the one in "Airplane"

No way...the chick was pukin in the water, the dude probably had some serious shrinkage goin on...and the sharks were watching...
We saw it last nite.
That is why they should have done it earlier at the hotel. The couple was sad even before they got lost at sea. I didnt like the movie either. The first third of the movie looked like it was shot by a film school freshman who was full of "ideas". It was boring, anti-climatic & if they weren't such wusses, they would have survived. :) But we got in for free so I am not complaining.

Yes you are too complaining. there WAS almost a ween shot...
 
1. I didn't know it was based on a true story
2. I did some reading and the "experts" say they most likely drowned. THeir suits and stuff eventually washed to shore and there were little tears that were caused by coral and no evidence of shark bites.
3. Dodgeball rocked!

either way - EW - what a way to go :(

Yeah the thought is terrifying. I wondered how they could claim it was based on a true story being that they died...how weird that their wet suits washed up...how the hell did they get out of them if they were dead? Wetsuits aren't exactly easy to wriggle free of. Nonetheless, diving is one activity I will never partake in. The sea is a scary unforgiving place.

My brother took a bus trip to Foxboro Stadium like 15 years ago to see a Patriots game. The game was a blowout and the bus left before the game ended. The person heading the trip didn't bother to count heads and my brother got left behind. I had to drive two hours to Foxboro Stadium to pick him up. This thread reminds me of that. It's sorta the same thing.

:stupid:

the article I read said that they probably took their suits off because they were heavy - and without the bouyancy of the suits, they drowned.

That's for friggin' sure! Wetsuits are like the modern chastity belt for beach babes. Girls should start wearing them everywhere when they go to keg parties to foil the date rapists or the sexually inexperienced because even black belts in one-handed bra removal have been reduced to tears of frustration when trying to slip a nubile form from its clingy prison of neoprene. Why the hell don't they make the ones for women with full-length zippers the run from the base of the outseam to the top of the collar! :mumble:
