You get exactly what you expect. Gasps, blood, cringey look away moments while Blake battles the shark for her life. I liked it.

CAPTIVATING ! ... 1 1/2 hours of pure terror. The great white shark is bigger than JAWS. Well worth it.

I'll give Collet-Serra some credit for the action sequences: it must be very hard to work with computer-generated monsters and an actress who probably wanted to look good as she was being harassed by the shark. Particularly good was the…

This film isn't going to win any Oscars but the sheer physicality of Blake Lively's performance, the cinematography and the technical logistics are impressive.

Entertaining and thrilling enough; but I just couldn't get past my resentment of the arrogant surfer who couldn't even bother to learn the spanish word for shark: tiburon (acute accent on the last syllable). This sort of cultural…

Surprisingly good show! Even though there is only a few characters it is a we thought out, acted show! The movie was suspenseful and interesting. There were a few unbelievable scenes in the movie (Kind of a spoiler: When she tries to out…

Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra in 2016, this American survival thriller delves into the attack of a great white shark against humans, the female surfer in particular. Smartly and solidly crafted, this thriller transcends tired…

Unexpectedly decent story. Yes there are a bunch of plot holes but if you ignore them then it is a decent film. The ending is also well thought out. Believable plot.

Kind of a trashy shark survival bite fest, but Blake Lively is sure cute and looks great in her tiny, tight swim suit! Jaws for Millennials’! I like that.

Often called 'Jaws for Millenials', The Shallows succeeds by being more realistic with its shark behavior and having Blake Lively as a clever surfer tackling her own life problems. I found it a little hard to root for her though,…

The incredible visuals, animations, and graphics, the stunning performance by the lead actress, and the touching backstory to this film’s storyline amazingly wrapped together “The Shallows”. Although some audience members found the plot a…

Pretty decent, some good thrills.

Two important things, here: 1. This is NOT a jaws re-run or sequel. 2. Blake Lively. Blake's had a terrific career, thus far, and this survival thriller's a departure of sorts, from her supporting roles in crime dramas (The…

We actually love shark movies and I thought this one was very well done... a few parts actually made ya look away from the tv... graphics were very good and a good story too! We loved it and would watch again :)

It was a suspenseful, action packed movie, although quite predictable. The demise of the shark was kind of dumb.

A tense shark attack film. Analysis will find flaws but there's nothing so obvious it can't be overlooked by a little willing suspension of disbelief. You might also enjoy Soul Surfer and 127 Hours (no sharks in this but same feel),…

Another shark movie. Not much of a story.
Nov 13, 2017kpelish rated this title 4.5 out of 5 stars
Well-produced with a strong female character who strategizes her way out of a life-or-death situation when she winds up stranded in a very angry shark's territory, just a couple hundred yards from safety. Blake Lively does a good job…

Same old shark stuff!

Pretty good movie. Sharks make great bad guys.

Yikes! Mostly very intense and shark-scary! Beautiful surfing footage! Loved the companion seagull; felt sad about the whale.
