Excellent, Without a doubt!!

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

This one just add tacky drama. The 2nd is the best in my opinion.

Just when I thought it was safe to go back in the water, a found-footage shark movie swims my way. Cage Dive takes the well-worn hand-held camera/faux documentary route to tell the story of three Californian adrenaline junkies - Jeff, Josh and Megan (Joel Hogan, Josh Potthoff and Megan Peta Hill)- who travel to Australia to experience great white sharks up close and personal. Unfortunately, their thrill-seeking experience doesn't go quite as planned when a freak wave capsizes the boat, leaving the friends stranded in shark-infested waters.I was actually enjoying this found-footage shark movie up to the point where an argument over the use of a flare results in the characters accidentally setting fire to their inflatable life raft; at this point, the film well and truly 'jumps the shark', after which it slowly sinks further and further into the murky depths of bad film-making. And when brothers Jeff and Josh forget about the sharks to have a scrap over Megan, with whom they are both in love, the film finally hits rock bottom. To director Gerald Rascionato's credit, the shark attack scenes are deftly handled and realistic (I guess that the sharks are CGI; if that is the case, they're extremely well done), resulting in a reasonable amount of tension, and there's one satisfyingly nasty moment where we see a survivor with the side of his face hanging off, but for much of the time it's just three whiny over-privileged idiots bobbing around in the sea. You'll be longing for the fish to start biting again.4.5 out of 10, rounded up to 5 for IMDb.

Looking at a recovered camera, the investigation into a shipwrecked group of tourists who got stranded in shark-infested waters off the coast of Australia recounts how the group attempted to film an audition video of them cage-diving with sharks and must try to survive the experience.This ended up being quite a rather unappealing effort. One of the main problems here is the fact that this one never features much of anything happening for much of the running time. Keeping so much of the running time concerned with the efforts of the modern-day focus to explain what happened rather than just letting the whole thing play out as it should as all the talking heads talking about the accident and the recovery efforts manages to hold off the amount of time it can spend on the incident itself. Likewise, that also ends up spoiling what happens to the group significantly by giving their outcome way before the film even starts with the friends which leaves this one with no suspense about their plight being told almost immediately into the film. As well, all the time spent on the beginning with their lives together really just eats at the time that could've been spent on the interactions with the survivors of the accident in the way which is where this one really could've had some good times here with that particular type of scene. The last real issue with this one is the fact that there's no real chance to see the films' big money scenes with the inability to focus on the main attacks which really limits their impact and effectiveness. The aftermath of the wave that strands them is handled with such a flurry of random activity in a rapid blur of foaming water and chaos that it's only after the fact you can tell what happened, the scenes of the sharks rushing up and attacking are cut away before anything happens and the idea of what's going on here in the later scenes are rendered completely moot by the utter first-person shooting scenario that keeps it all focused on the individual shooting it rather than allowing us a chance to see what's going on. That really lets the film down, alongside the inability to care about anyone involved her due to the revelations that spring up in the second half, which all manages to hold this one down against it's few good points. Unlike most other efforts in the genre, this one doesn't really seem ludicrous as for why they would keep filming, as the need for enhanced visuals or night-vision to see in the dark means that the need for the camera is always there and that does seem somewhat fresh and original. As well, the fact that the realism of their peril together gives this a nice feel in the finale which is quite an impressive overall tone. These, though, don't make it hold up all that much.Rated R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.
