Director Ivy Meeropol (“Bully. Coward. Victim. The Story of Roy Cohn”) weaves an impressive tapestry of conflicting perspectives—man and animal—that's far more entertaining and insightful than your average Shark Week fare.
After the Bite could initially be mistaken for just another part of a trajectory of movies that has become defined by this trend-chasing rather than something more. However, if you begin to look closer, you’ll discover a measured reflection on our relationship to both the predator of the deep and the habitat that has come under threat.

I know it's a small sample size but this preview alone gives me tremendous respect for the people of cape cod. It doesn't appear to pain the sharks as in herently evil creatures but more so species tryin to adapt to more and more human infiltration of it's use here is rather profound

If After the Bite ultimately has more questions than answers, it’s only because the film is reflecting the people it’s about, who see existential dangers everywhere and no easy way back to safety.
There are clashes of philosophy and practical action that need sorting out, and After the Bite treats both sides with respect.
I don’t think Meeropol’s formal choices always match the story she wants to capture, and After the Bite runs out of energy well before the end of its 90-minute running time. But I mostly enjoyed the idea of a more muted version of Jaws that suggests that if we have a contemporary shark attack problem, the solution is going to require more than a bigger boat.
Definitely a great film that shows the struggle of what it feels like to be a surviver ...recommend watching really great film. Great talents.

Quando o Steven Spielberg resolveu filmar seu famoso filme "Tubarão", sua câmera estava interessada em captar a sensação da juventude da época, inebriada após Woodstock, com hormônios aflorados antes da pandemia do Hiv, em que toda uma construção atmosférica é perfeitamente construída. Aqui, os idealizadores do projeto tentam também captar o tom de urgência das questões ambientais, mas esquecem que o discurso é mais racional e menos apelativo para emoções, de modo que o resultado soa frio e distante do público.
Assim, vamos acompanhando um amontoado de informações que mal conseguem transpor o local para um lugar geral, com detalhes daquela cidade onde tubarões começaram a aparecer devido uma lei anti caça à foca, que fez com que esta população crescesse e consequentemente atraísse seu predador de barbatana, e percebemos que a causalidade nem é tão simples assim, dado se sustentar apenas por hipótese.
Com uma série de falas de biólogos, juristas e especialistas, o filme acaba por extrapolar para uma discussão mais ampla, e por um momento até esqueci que estava assistindo a um documentário sobre tubarões. Um verdadeiro tiro no pé.
Conferi no relógio quando finalmente uma cena de tubarão me empolgou, aos 51 minuto do documentário de 1 hora e meia. E isso para mostrá-los em CGI.
Realmente, a proposta talvez seja essa, mais pedagógica mesmo, já que se trata de um "after". Então, recomendo tomar uma boa dose de café e passar por cima da estratégia de marketing do filme em vender cenas com tubarões quando, na verdade, o filme adota um tom mais de Greta Thunberg mesmo, com insinuações que não passam de hipóteses e teorias a respeito do futuro do nosso planeta. Poderia ser melhor.
