It prefers to spend two hours rehashing elements that even newbies to shark-based cinema will find devoid of any real inspiration.

Aaron Eckhart keeps things afloat as Kingsley’s heroic co-pilot. He’s there to save the day even if his toiling efforts can’t entirely prevent this dumb but enjoyable movie from treading water.

This picture is not as ridiculous as a “Sharknado” movie — Harlin is out to make a genuine nail-biter, and he largely succeeds, maintaining interest even as the two-hour mark approaches.

To come out of a harrowing plane crash and immediately start uncontrollably laughing at the film’s main conceit is not a good sign. It gets worse from there.

Harlin’s back to slingin’ popcorn entertainment after his trilogy that shan’t be mentioned, which inspires hope.

The movie was okay in itself. It was quite interesting how the airplane crashed and how it all began.

Phenomenal!! Great story a little cheesy but it had great suspense and the characters got fleshed out well enough that you cared and rooted for them. 10/10 loved it!!

It was another dumb shark movie but just dumb enough in the right ways to be an entertaining early season shark movie. It was predictable but Aaron Eckhart's efforts and enough shark kills made it worth a watch.

This was a fun shark movie. It's not quite "Deep Blue Sea," but delivers a lot of thrills and fun. Way better than Netflix's "Thrash."
