Review of 47 Meters Down: Uncaged

The basic plot is a group of teenage girls go diving in a submerged Aztec city only to find it is infested with giant blind cave sharks (note the white eye on the shark on the poster). The sharks must also be deaf because they fail to home in on the noisy teens on multiple occasions. This is basically a "last girl" slasher film with all the jump scares and stupidity, but the slasher is replaced with sharks. They have full face mask scuba gear with radios so we can hear them whimper, cry, and scream throughout the last 2/3rds of the movie. The characters die in a fairly predictable order and nothing particularly surprising happens until near the end when they amp up the crazy stuff in an attempt to add to the tension. The very end was pretty ridiculous.... I almost wish they had ditched the "Hollywood ending" and gone with what would have happened to the characters had the final action events really occurred. Had the filmmakers just taken a step back and decided to not make the movie so formulaic with a bit more attention to not being so unrealistic as to break the suspension of disbelief it would have been a far better movie.
