Waste of Money.
Highly Overrated But Still Good
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
I absolutely love what the director Jamie Benning has done here. His 'Filmumentary' style lets you see some great 'making of' gems in context whilst watching the movie. You get to see outtakes, rehearsals, extended scenes, all in the time line of the movie as it plays. Genius idea. The content is fantastic too. A mixture of other documentaries, found footage, interviews with small cast members and extras, storyboard etc. I learnt a lot about the filmmaking process as well as the incredible story of how the Jaws movie actually came about, and nearly didn't! Also fascinating to watch Spielberg in his element, totally relaxed with the actors.An absolute must watch for any Jaws fan or movie buff in general.
