Roberts populates convincingly elaborate underwater sets with a suitably appealing cast for a claustrophobic adventure that manages to deliver some real terror before it somewhat inevitably levels up into absurdity.
The film more or less keeps things efficiently moving, wringing white-knuckle tension less through jump scares than from the darkness of a seemingly infinite void.
H ταινία μας μεταφέρει στις μαγευτικές ακτές της Βραζιλίας. Εκεί συναντούμε 4 νεαρές κοπέλες που μοιράζονται την αγάπη τους για τον βυθό. Αυτή τους όμως η ενασχόληση γρήγορα θα γίνει ένας αγώνας επιβιώσεις, με τους καρχαρίες να αναλαμβάνουν τον πρωταγωνιστικό ρόλο.
47 Meters Down is still the alpha of this franchise pack, but Uncaged's stealth "slasher but with sharks" structure is an approved and entertaining surprise.
Uncaged improves on the first film only with its ending: This one boasts a modestly effective twist rather than a truly moronic one. Encouraging, but not nearly enough to justify a third trip down this 47-meter well.
There are small spurts of creativity ... but everything else about the production feels more watered down than the landscape our four interchangeable leads find themselves flailing about in.
A moment, please, to appreciate that 47 Meters Down: Uncaged contains a landmark in shark attack cinema (which is a genre, don't question me). Finally, a film has dethroned Deep Blue Sea for the title of "dumbest and most hilarious chomp-chomp moment."
The sharks are disappointingly not scary but they’re interesting-looking with their plastic torpedo heads and serrated-saw smiles. When they leap out of the dark to dismember bodies, they bloody the waters in swirling lava lamp patterns that feel almost peaceful. Or perhaps I’m just trying to find a nicer way to say dull.
The first film; 47 meters down was a simplistic well executed shark survival film that had enough going for it to be a solid entry into the depths of shark films albeit cliche.
This adds more intensity with a faster pace and some more action/scares throughout. Director Johannes Roberts clearly had a bigger budget as he was able to have much better set pieces and expanded settings in the underwater cave ruins and it works very well for the overall story and atmosphere. The actors may not be upper echelon, but they serve their purpose for the story. The colors and visuals are phenomenal and the cgi sharks look a lot better this time around. There are even some unexpected moments you won't see coming that i commend them for attempting. Overall a pretty enjoyable shark film with a terrific original setting concept that amplifies the intensity.
I like Jaws. I like sharks. I really enjoy the movie. I watched some shark movie every 5 **** I don't watch shark movies every year. Well done.90 minutes film!
While technically speaking it's a worse movie than it's predecessor, overall, it's a much more enjoyable and entertaining movie. With bad acting performances, average at best CGI effects, the overuse of slow motion and a truly baffling ending, it can definitely be enjoyed as a guilty pleasure.
Johannes Roberts' 47 Meters Down: Uncaged is the sequel to his 2017 film, which received mixed reviews. The sequel takes place in an unexplored and submerged Mayan city where four young girls, Mia, Sasha, Alexa, and Nicole, find themselves in a dangerous situation with hungry sharks. Unlike the first movie, this sequel has nothing to do with the first one, and it would have been better if it were not related to the first one in any way. The characters in the movie are unsympathetic and the movie seems to be an excuse to show young women in bikinis. The visual and visual effects are not noteworthy, and some of the attacks are predictable. The setting of the movie is interesting but it does not lend itself to exciting moments, and it felt like the movie is becoming ridiculous by the end. The movie shot a part of the movie nearby in Basildon, Essex which is a local positive. The sequel does not justify the need for this sequel, and it falls short across the board.

47 Meters Down: Uncaged de Johannes Roberts es la secuela de su película de 2017, que recibió críticas mixtas. La secuela tiene lugar en una ciudad maya inexplorada y sumergida donde cuatro jóvenes, Mia, Sasha, Alexa y Nicole, se encuentran en una situación peligrosa con tiburones hambrientos. Esta secuela no tiene nada que ver con la primera película, y hubiera sido mejor si no tuviera ninguna relación. Los personajes de la película son antipáticos y la película parece ser una excusa para mostrar mujeres jóvenes en bikini. Los efectos visuales y no visuales no son dignos de mención, y algunos de los ataques son predecibles. El escenario de la película es interesante pero no se presta a momentos emocionantes, y daba la sensación de que la película se estaba volviendo ridícula al final. La película grabó una parte de la misma cerca de Basildon, Essex, lo cual es un punto positivo para el negocio local. La precuela no justifica la necesidad de esta secuela, y se queda corta en todos los ámbitos.
