Open Water...

Sounds cool to me. I like the idea, movies would be so much better if played outdoors. in fact, I'm thinking of building an art gallery that incoportates rain, waterfalls, streams, and fields. Of course, need some artwork to do it.

 

Going tonight..... Should be pretty cool.....

Im excited.....

 

Didn't they do something like that a while back, but played Jaws, and Brown Whornet played the music live?

 

Jaws would be really good.

 

OVER-HYPED!!

Dont waste your $8.50 and wait to rent the damn thing.

Not scary at all IMHO..... Some moments were.... but limited.... Shark footage was about the only thing that saved this film.

Id give it a C-

I think the crowd didnt like it too much either...... I heard a few boo's

Just one opinion though.....

 

MOVIE SUCKED, this movie really sucked i saw Out of Breath which i thought SUCKED and that movie looks like a 10 oscar winner compared to Open Water what a crappy movie , it reminded me alot like one of those Karate Japanese movies that sucked well this one sucked more. The only cool part about the movie was the credits at the end literally.

DrewDog C- ???? then wat would an F movie be for you ??

 

Y'all do realize this was based on a true story, don't you?

 

I think that is the whole problem , so they cant fib on many things. When i went to the movie and saw that it was a real story i was really intrigued but then i saw the bad camera equipment, the Really Bad Acting, and then they get left in the middle of the Ocean ??? I was in the theaters going dam now what, the famous shark attacks can interest you somewhat!!!!

 

El V-

I gave it a C- for the special effects and the excellent footage. Otherwise the movie is very UNSCARY as the reviews have hyped it up to be.... At the end I was like..... thats it?? Lots of filler..... Not scary at all.....

Dont waste your money folks! I beg of you......

 

Technically, it isn't. I saw the preview for this about a month ago and have ZERO interest in seeing it, but the premise of it being "true" disturbed me enough to look it up and I found out it was not a true story, just a combination of stories about sharks and shark attacks put together by the writer. One of the stories was about a man who was left behind on a scuba trip in Australia and disappeared, but apparently turned up months later in another part of the continent. He used the story to escape creditors and an ex-girlfriend, reportedly.

In reality, there was no couple that went scuba diving and was trapped in the open ocean with sharks, thankfully.

 

--- SPOILER REMOVED BY ADMIN ---

 

Yes there was. Give me a moment and I will find the news story, but a couple was left in open water, with sharks. They were not rescued.

Edit....added the word "not"....I think faster than I type. Here's the story:


IT'S A DIVERS WORST NIGHTMARE: Miles from shore, you surface to find your charter boat nowhere in sight. You call for help, but there's no response. There are no outcroppings to hold on to. You hope that someone realizes their mistake before it's too late.

This is what presumably happened to Eileen and Tom Lonergan on January 25, 1998, at St. Crispin's Reef, a popular dive site on the Great Barrier Reef, 25 miles off the coast of Queensland, Australia. The Lonergans, diving veterans from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, had gone out with the Port Douglas, Queensland-based scuba boat Outer Edge. Stories vary, but at the end of the day, the crew did a head count and came up with only 24 of their 26 clients. Someone pointed out two young divers who had jumped in to swim off the bow, and the crew, assuming that they had missed them, adjusted the count to 26. With the swimmers on board, the Outer Edge headed back to port.

Two days later, Geoffrey Nairn, the boat's skipper, discovered Eileen and Tom's personal belongings in the Outer Edge's lost-property bin, including Tom's wallet, glasses, and clothes. Concerned, he called the owner of the Gone Walkabout Hostel, in Cairns, where the couple had been staying, to see if they had returned. They had not. A five-day search began, which turned up no trace of Eileen or Tom. After more than 48 hours in the ocean, the couple may have drowned, or been eaten by sharks. But as the chilling story broke, other theories emerged. One is that they committed suicide, or a murder-suicide took place. Journals in their hotel room hinted at personal troubles, but the couple were devout Catholics with good prospects. Tom, 33, and Eileen, 28, had just come off a three-year tour of duty with the Peace Corps in Tuvalu and Fiji and were en route to Hawaii, where they hoped to settle down.

Another scenario has the Lonergans using the dive boat as part of an elaborate hoax to fake their deaths. Jeanette Brenthall, owner of a bookshop in Port Douglas, believes the couple came into her store on January 27, two days after their dive trip. The pair was also reportedly sighted in a hotel in downtown Darwin. Reports of a boat less than a mile from St. Crispin's Reef seem to support theories that the couple was picked up. But the Lonergans' bank accounts were never touched, and no one ever collected on their insurance policies. A few weeks after they'd gone missing, some of their personal dive gear washed up on a beach 75 miles from the dive site. Six months later, a weathered dive slate—a device used to communicate underwater—with contact information for Eileen's father and the words PLEASE HELP US OR WE WILL DIE. JANUARY 26, 8:00 A.M., was found floating in the same vicinity as the gear.

In November 1999, Geoffrey Nairn was tried on manslaughter charges and acquitted; he believes the jury felt he shouldn't be blamed for a mistake made by the entire crew. His company, Outer Edge Dive, was tried by a civil court in Queensland, pled guilty to negligence, and was fined. Nairn, who closed down Outer Edge Dive shortly thereafter, believes that the Lonergans died on the reef. "It was a tragedy, and I'll never get over it," he told Outside. "The highest probability is that Tom and Eileen are dead."

Back in Baton Rouge, Eileen's father, John Hains, also believes that the couple drowned after being accidentally left behind. "The Australian dive industry wanted to prove that Tom and Eileen faked their deaths," he says of the disappearance theories. "But the survival rate of being in the ocean with no place to go is nil."

 

Crowd...haha...there was 6 people where I went to see it. Maybe it was the time but those that didn't show up were the smart ones... What a waste of time and $. I can't believe Ebert and Roeber said it was good movie. Absolute Trash...The only plus in the movie was seing that chicks t***

 

You could see her t*** and some more awesome body they shouldve just made a porno instead of Open Water ( They shouldve named it OPEN LEGS)
