Jul 12, 2019  It’s based on the true story of a 1982 shark encounter and follows a group of people on a yacht on its way to Florida. After an unexpected storm hits, their yacht is capsized and the group are left adrift in the Atlantic where they find themselves at the mercy of a school of tiger sharks.

Chocolatier. I was really looking forward to this movie because I'm a long time Sharkweek fan, but this movie truly disappointed. The acting wasn't particularly good even with Josh Duhamel who is a great actor. The story is supposedly 'based on true events,' but it differs in many points with one huge difference so it's really inspired. The effects with the sharks were particularly good though and looked very realistic. I saw Shark After Dark where they showed some behind the scenes and it was interesting.

The effects for the injured crewperson, in reality there was more than one, were not particularly convincing and looked more like bad makeup. I think more time could have been spent developing the time in the water as it was forced and haphazard. Regardless, Sharkweek is awesome, so it's a must watch. The shame is that the Meg movie (Sharkweeks' not the one with Jason S) from a few years ago was far better even though it got killed by reviewers. It's worth watching from the standpoint that it was a true life and death struggle with emotions of sadness, dispair, survival, and inner strength. They put a guy whose clearly drunk in charge of monitoring the coast guard channel for storm updates, he also wants to sail directly INTO the storm to reach land just pick up a piece of a$$. All of the characters wait literally over 30 minutes all hanging onto the OUTSIDE of a perfectly seaworthy life raft instead of getting in the damn thing.

The drunk takes off the tourniquet of a girl whose leg is gushing blood from her thigh, probably has a severed artery and throws it into the ocean all because she is screaming her head off and apparently that is 'attracting ' the sharks. Shame on me but I never watch Shark Week. I have nothing against it but it's just not for me.

A friend told me I should watch 'Capsized: Blood in the Water'. She liked it a lot.

I liked it too. I thought a was a very tense movie. It's also tragic because it's a true story. It did remind me of 2003's 'Open Water' but it's a lot better.

'Capsized' is well acted and moves quickly. Despite its limited budget, this movie packs a punch. I think the reviewers on IMBD are being too hard on it. 'Capsized: Blood in the Water' is worth a watch.

I had already watched the real tragic story, in way better form, in 'I Shouldn't be Alive' around 2005. Cloud storage services. Why redo it again? Why not do the real story behind 2010´s The Reef? It is based on an astounding real-life tragedy. Ray Boundy´s terrifying ordeal with a Tiger Shark hunting him and his 2 friends, Linda Horton and Dennis 'Smurf' Murphy, after their boat, 'The New Venture' capsized in shark infested waters in Australia, is both fascinating and horrifying. Maybe in this years 'Shark Week', who knows? But they should listen and pay attention.
