I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I don't know why this movie is regarded as one of the best shark films. The pace is very slow, they didn't even realize a shark was there until about 50 minutes into the movie. The rest is just them swimming and swimming until they all die one by one. We do not see an actual attack here. I gave it 5 because it had a few good moments here and there. I think Black Water was much better than this, although it's a croc film, the tension was built since the boat flipped early in the film. Here, no tension was built up at all until the shark showed 50 minutes in.

The Reef was supposedly one of the best horror movies of 2010. I was 12, and I wasn't allowed to watch it when it came out because all the reviews said it was horrifying and one of the best shark attack movies out there. I waited for years to watch this and finally watched it a few years ago. How bad this is still haunts me whenever I want to watch a shark attack movie. "What if it's as bad as The Reef?" flashes through my head whenever I settle down to watch a new movie in the genre. I don't understand how this has so many positive reviews and such a high rating. It was absolute trash.First of all, getting stranded in the middle of nowhere? Stereotypical trope that wasn't done great in any form of the word. And after saying this, the part where he goes into the sunken boat to get supplies is probably the tensest part of the entire movie. Then we have the survival. And the main characters just being absolutely ridiculous and doing nothing that would keep them alive. Going out of the group to grab a float that you DON'T need because it MIGHT make things a little better for you whilst you swim for safety. Why would anyone in their right mind do that instead of, hey I don't need this let's just keep swimming to safety. The shark 'attacks' themselves aren't even remotely realistic. Sharks don't act like that unless provoked and there only chance that the shark would be hunting down these humans to eat is if it had eaten humans before. Shark 'attacks' are actually very unlikely and mostly happen because a surfer is mistaken for a seal. There was obviously no research done into sharks - the only fact they got right was that great white sharks hunt alone. And oh the mistakes. There are two times here different characters injure themselves and then just scenes later, the injuries are gone. It's not even discreet. Who watched this through for consistency? If there was anyone, they definitely shouldn't get a job for this again. It was horrendous and was a sore thumb that really annoyed me and made the movie even less realistic than it already was. The acting itself was absolutely poor and it was so unbelievable that these people were being hunted by a shark. Their horror just seemed fake. Seriously, don't watch this movie. Skip it, cross it off your horror movie to watch list. If you want a decent shark attack movie, watch The Shallows, or Jaws. Don't waste an hour and a half of your life on this movie.

The Reef (2010) is a movie directed by Andrew Traucki. It's a new generation shark movie, and probably the one that gets closest to being a horror movie. It's an Australian movie so the actor's accent might be a problem for non-native English speakers that aren't used to it, I recommend toggling the subtitles on if possible.The movie starts off in medias res, with a group of friends heading to Indonesia with a sailboat. We find out eventually, that two of the protagonists had a relationship in the past, that functions as side story that isn't too relevant, especially towards the end. During the trip the sailboat hits the bottom of the reef and tips over, making it unable for the characters to proceed. They choose to swim to the nearest island, about 12 miles from the shore, but a great white shark that swims in the area won't make things easy for them.As I am always kind of skeptic about new shark movies, I didn't have high hopes for this one either. But it turned out to be better than what I expected it to be. As I said, it has some jump scares and it's the most realistic shark movie I have seen. It is not based on a true story but it could have easily been. It's the only shark movie that made me think twice before jumping into deep waters again.In my opinion, the acting was good, with a lot of screaming and macabre reactions, that really gave me the feeling that I was watching a real event and not a movie. It's nothing too extreme, but that's exactly how a horror shark movie should be, realistic.I would recommend this movie, alongside with Steven Spielberg's Jaws, as the shark movies you need to watch as a shark fanatic. Solid plot, good cast and overall a more than average shark movie worth watching.

This film is so well done you need a second viewing to appreciate all the clever little touches. When Luke (Damien Walshe-Howling), along with his offsider Warren (Kieran Darcy-Smith), are due to deliver a yacht to a customer in Indonesia, he invites three friends to join them on a cruise first: Matt (Gyton Grantley), his partner Suzie (Adrienne Pickering) and Matt's sister Kate (Zoe Naylor), Luke's old girlfriend.However, they are stranded at sea when the yacht capsizes. Under Luke's leadership, four of them decide to swim to an island over the horizon while Warren decides to stay on the overturned boat. The story follows the swimmers who are soon stalked by a great white shark.Fear of those teeth make this everyone's worst nightmare, but rather than being a simple gore-fest, the story deals with the dynamics among the swimmers, their absolute vulnerability, and how they face up to the psychological as well as the physical horror.Director Andrew Traucki threw every trick in the book at this film and he knows how to deliver a shock. Val Lewton may have had his bus, but Traucki has his splashing fish, and even the swimmers themselves when they suddenly bob up out of the water. As for the shark? Traucki takes the approach Lewton took in film after film - sometimes the best effect is the one you don't show. But when he does show the shark emerging out of the depths, it's so eerie it's enough to make you throw your swimming costume straight into the trash.The film is based on a real event, detailed on the IMDb Trivia page. However, there is one other aspect to the story that some may find interesting. Matt's character is based on Dennis Murphy, who in reality swam away from the other survivors to lure the shark away after it had severed his leg. He was posthumously awarded the Star of Courage, Australia's second highest civilian award for bravery. After seeing this movie one might wonder just how the powers-that-be actually made the decision to award the 'second' highest award - they must have had a very rarefied standard in mind to arrive at that.Superb photography and a brilliantly realised score add to a film that is one of the most edge-of-the-seat thrillers you are likely to see. But it is also an exploration of how people face stark terror, while still finding the inner strength to help each other.
