e l So, the dialogue is not great, and the sibling relationship between the sisters is super simplistic. But it is clear that the sisters do love each other, which is part of what matters in the film. However, it is not believable that Kate would want Lisa to accept so much risk just to get back at the boyfriend who dumped her...so why does this matter? It doesn't really. The point is, although the setup is ridiculous, although clearly no sister would act like this, and no one would participate in a sport where you have to take a ridiculous risk in a ridiculously flimsy cage...the sisters do clearly love each other...and that's why this movie is good in spite of the ridiculous aspects. You do feel, on several occasions, that they honestly want the other sister to thrive, and both the sisters leave the safety of the cage to help the other sister. So, this is why this movie works, in spite of the ridiculousness. The suspense is good, the photography is good, each harrowing situation is well designed. It's overall a well-made movie, and you are not expected to expect good dialogue...because it's a horror movie about two girls and many sharks. It's very good for what it is. The ending is horrible but it's a better ending than what Lisa thinks happens. So, although the ending is nasty (hint: it's a horror film), it is an appropriate ending for a movie of this genre.

It's alright if you're just trying to put something on in the background and want something a little scary. The realism is.. lacking, to say the least. Aside from the scuba-related accuracies (or lack thereof), I'm more upset with how sharks are portrayed in this? Sharks rarely attack people for food, unless they're incredibly starved. The most a shark will do is bite to understand what they're interacting with. It's not like they have hands, after all. To think a shark would vindictively hunt humans down like this is laughable, especially considering they're not even bleeding. Anywho, all rants aside, I wouldn't mind putting this on in the background getting smashed, either literally or figuratively take your pick, but it's not a sit down and watch movie ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/13/25 Full Review Panic P Can these characters be any more annoying Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/25 Full Review Ian R Too insulting to the intelligence of anyone. 47 Metres is too deep for diving without specialised equipment. Radio communication doesn't work underwater. The acting is appalling and the script is about the same. The shark, a Great White, is somehow trapped in a semi tropical cave system. Put all that aside, and maybe you have a masturbatory movie for teenage boys.

I enjoy realistic horror/thrillers. Sure, I may not know much about scuba diving, but I feel that the movie did accurately portray the dangers of not doing research, going off with strangers, and hypoxia - which is one of the biggest concerns in diving. I have a huge fear of deep water. Not just the ocean, but water in general. Public bodies of water freak me out because of germs. Many man made bodies have been turned into waste dumps. Deep bodies in which you can’t see the bottom is terrifying to me. This movie really had me on edge. I think they did a great job and it’s one of my favorites.
