SPOILER ALERT!!!! I was not a fan of the first 47M Down. I love all genre's of movies and sharks are my all time favorite (In my opinion the best is still hands down Deep Blue Sea). The first movie was boring, no character development, and every scene just seemed to draaaaaaaag on. So when Uncaged came around and I saw the trailer, I was honestly a bit excited. I had high hopes for this to be the redemption of the first movie. But sadly, there were a lot of missed points. First, and I cannot believe that no one has mentioned it already, but how the hell are these sharks even surviving down there? They made them blind and white obviously adapting to the "environment" but aside from the three divers that literally JUST discovered these ruins, what were those sharks eating? There's like two fish we all saw down there in total. It doesn't make any sense. Second, and let's put aside the extremely random "vortex" in the middle of this thing, how are these sharks getting through all these obviously small pathways? Why is everywhere these girls go a dead end and then when they magically find another small entrance somewhere there happens to be a gigantic shark just waiting for them already there? Lastly, (not that there's more we can't "DiVe" in deeper about) when the two sisters escape the caves in the end they clearly look like they are in more shallow waters and next to a cliff. Not where typical shark viewing tourist attractions are held. That spot is nowhere near where they should be to view great whites so it's just too convenient for the girls that they happen to be there. And the cherry on top is how many times these girls got attacked while trying to board the boat. This scene literally had me laughing. Overall, still better than the first by far. But I don't see a future in this movie series beyond this one. Go watch the behind the scenes commentary of Deep Blue Sea and take some tips from them. Watch and be with sharks, learn how they move and behave, adapt your story and design them realistically while also juggling better character development.
