Holy shit these reviews! 

 

 

Unfortunately THR is a pan and has not been added yet

Also laughing at the people on Twitter who didn't like it and are mad that the critics aren't agreeing with them. Like its a freaking shark thriller movie. Simmer down.

I don't see how this looks cheesy at all. This looks like a straight-up intense almost kind of horror film. This is definitely not going to be anything like deep blue sea or Sharknado or anything. This is about a woman in a fight for her life against a giant freaking shark. There's no cheese involved at all. I too think it will get excellent word of mouth and I really hope it has a good run this summer.

[La Binoche]

I think it may cheesy in the ways that she manages to survive/outwit the shark? But who cares, it looks like so much fun.

THR is one of the minorities. It's RT score will go down however the fact that it's as high as it is right now, is very encouraging.

Collet-Serra is a pretty competent genre filmmaker. I think he could be someone big if he were given deeper material

Yeah. The marketing's been good so I'm willing to give it a shot. (though I might do Independence Day this weekend and do this next weekend)

[elcuervo]

Yeah, I'm definitely gonna check this out now.

[baumer]

I'm going tonight. Screw sleep lol

[Captain H]

I'm going to watch this tomorrow... and then a trip to the beach the next day. In a pretty remote beach too. Oops.

[JohnnyGossamer]

I think I'll catch ID4 2 tonight. I'm kind of feeling an ocean flick double feature with Dory and Shallows this weekend. Oh, expect this one to break out a bit too. $20M+ OW and $80M+ DOM TOTAL.

I don't get why Sony put an embargo until Thursday morning if this was getting decent reviews.

Because they didn't know if it was going to get good reviews and this is a film that might sink if it gets poor reviews.  So they probably wanted WOM to carry it through the summer, not be stunted by critics before it even opens.

I think maybe the release date change messed things up with screenings and whatnot.

I don't understand why everyone seems to assume studios can know for sure the critical reception of their movies.

 

I mean sure they have some idea because they test their movies to death but still, you cannot know for sure, there s till a level of uncertainty.

i guess but idk I feel like they should have a general idea of the reception. The good reviews will definitely help it I think if it stays above 75.

I like this review....he only gives it a B+ but he praises it like it's an A.
