Young sisters Kate and Lisa and travel to Mexico for a vacation filled with sun, fun and adventure. Lisa needs some extra persuasion when Kate suggests that they go diving in shark-infested waters. Safe in their protective cage, the thrill-seeking siblings come face to face with a group of majestic great whites. Their worst fears soon become a reality when the cage breaks away from their boat, sending them plummeting to the ocean floor with a dwindling supply of oxygen.

Critics Consensus

47 Meters Down doesn't take its terrifying premise quite as far as it should, but its toothy antagonists still offer a few thrills for less demanding genre enthusiasts.

Frank Scheck

Hollywood Reporter

But on its own B-movie terms 47 Meters Down works just fine, not wearing out its welcome thanks to its quick set-up, rapid pacing and brief running time.

Stephen Romei

The Australian

It's not a great film but, once the preliminary scenes on terra firma are over and we descend to a place we don't belong, it delivers an hour or so of sustained physical and psychological terror.

Rated: 3/5

Irish Times

British director Johannes Roberts makes decent use of the murk (the film was largely shot in a tank in London) and the sisterhood theme gives the film a broader appeal than, say, The Shallows.

Rated: 3/5

The Canberra Times (Australia)

The four leads are fine. This feels like a collective of Hollywood kids who got a lucky break on Bring Your Daughter to Work Day.

Dread Central

The film moves at a steady, scary pace with plenty of "uh-oh" moments to keep you on your toes.

Sure enough, chains break, and the result leads to the kind of tense and bloody moments Shark Week fans adore.

As far as shark movies go, 47 Meters Down isn’t too bad of an option to watch. Far from great but very sharks movies are.

Leave for the movie Come for Mandy moore This movie was so disappointing I had to write my first review. Two girls of which half know how to scuba dive. Agree to lock in a shark cage (think jaws) when they get stranded on the ocean floor you get no story about what's going on at the oceans surface. You don't know if they are left for dead or a rescue is underway. Seems like a cheaply made film. Camera man cant get the shots right underwater because the cage is always in his way. once you say to yourself why would that character say something like that you'll realize the movies direction. If this is the only DVD left in blockbuster I still wouldn't watch it

This movie was ok…. I watched it with my sister and we both were scared at some times but not a lot of shark action happened in the first half. Also… THEY SHOULDVE KEPT THE ENDING WHERE SHE WAS HALLUCINATING BC IT ADDED AN EARY FEEL TO IT!!!! If they kept the ending as that I would’ve given it 4 stars…

I haven't seen this movie, but as a long time Scuba Diver, I dismissed this one based on the name alone. Maximum depth to non mixed gas diving maxes out at 120 Feet. "47 meters" in a cage means that the likelihood of coming back is extremely UN-likely, as 47 meters converts to 154.199 feet (34.199 ft (1 standard atmosphere) deeper than physics allow) meaning that nitrogen narcosis would finish these divers long before the sharks got to them.

So dissappointed, I'm an easy scare, but this movie is so DULL and Boring. If you need help sleeping, buy this movie and watch it close to bedtime, it will put you right to sleep! What a waste of time. I plan to watch the sequel I hear it's much better! The acting was good however, it was just the lack of plot and not one SCARE!
