Steve C Horrible movie nothing like the original. By the way NO WHITE WAYER RAFTING WAS CONDUCTED DURING THIS MOVIE Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/10/25 Full Review Roger L If I could give it ZERO STARS I WOULD!!!! I thought the original was bad from a whitewater standpoint, but this one was infinitely worse. Did they even bother to frame their shots or look at the background. Roads are seen in multiple places. Kayak skirts magically appear in the middle of rapids. Drops happen out of sequence. But the story was even more unbelievable. And the acting was…. Well at least there were the BAD whitewater scenes. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Deb L This is a ridiculous story. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review Carson H Someone owes me 2 hours of my life back. Before we sat down to watch this movie, I guessed that it was going to be a bunch of people making horrible decisions. It was that compounded. This movie is terrible. Not only is the writing bad, there's just lacksadaisical shortfalls in the main parts of the scene of the most important scenes. The majority of the movie is centered around terrible or no decisions. We had to sit down and watch this movie in two parts and for each part I was standing and yelling. It's probably the worst movie I've seen all year. If I could give it zero Stars I would. The acting was a two at best but the movie itself was atrocious. That may be being generous. We should have watched The Minions. Mind you we have no children. If there's one thing I could leave you with, itis "don't watch this movie". Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review Jay W I will start off with the positives. For a "remake" the film does try to do its own thing, despite having a similar setting the characters and motivation are different. The camera work for most of the shots is also pretty good. Now that the positives are out of the way, let's get into it. This movie feels like a studio realized that the rights they had to film was about to expire and they wanted to squeeze out something from it to make some money. So, they dusted off an old script that happened to take place on a river raft, kept the budget as low as possible and slap the recognizable title on it. The movie takes its sweet time getting started. The main conflict of the story doesn't show signs of starting until about the 30-minute mark. For an hour and a half movie, that's 1/3 of the movie where nothing is happening but exposition. These characters are the very example of what people talk about for stupid characters in a horror film. They're the kind of characters that make idiotic decisions that no one in real life would make, but they do it so the movie can happen. It makes you want to just pick up the screen and shake the characters, telling them "No, don't do that!" I guess one other benefit is that the movie is short. I will take its lead and keep this review short as well. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Will B This movie has awful writing. Full of cliches and ultimately baffling decisions made by the characters multiple times. Had me yelling in frustration. Absolutely terrible. No clue how this made it through production. I want my time back. Netflix should reimburse me for having to see this genuinely terrible movie. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review Read all reviews
