Waste of time

Now I like shark movies, but this movie is just not good. It can't even be enjoyed in an ironic way.

Right away I have to mention, is Mãdãlina Ghenea even an actress? I saw no evidence of acting at all. They couldn't have cast a worse person for the role. She looks nothing like a seasoned sailor, right down to her stick thin arms and perfectly curled supermodel hair. And we are to believe this person can solo sail across the globe? Everything she does is perfectly posed like a magazine cover and looks so inorganic it literally may as well have been a runway show. She's uncomfortable on the boat and they really should've considered a re-do on a lot of her shots where she's uncoordinated and clumsy. Just an embarrassing performance and production. She doesn't even wear a hat correctly... The rest of the cast are actually pretty decent, I think that possibly made it worse for Mãdãlina Ghenea as it made her terrible performance even more difficult to watch.

The actual plot is odd...It seems so unrealistic Naomi would attempt such a rescue that is the key catalyst to the plot. It's so far fetched and basically unbelievable. From there it just feels like a weird fever dream with no story.

The video of the shark shown often won't match what happens, it's quite odd but not rare when it comes to shark movies I suppose. The shark animation is bad to be frank about it. The funniest thing though is how often the boat is perfectly stationary in so many shots, as if it isn't out on the open ocean, hilarious. But nothing is more hilarious than Naomi unironically saying "the shark is probably high on cocaine".

This movie was difficult to finish.
