I’m gonna give my thoughts on it but just incase you don’t want to read or are limited on time, TLDR i loved it

Jaws is my favorite movie of all time, and i have a really strong interest in sharks so I was excited to see this movie but unfortunately by the time I heard about it, it was no longer in my theater. I bought it yesterday. I don’t like many shark films because they depict sharks as man eaters and it just becomes a C level creature feature with really bad CGI. (I know jaws depicts the shark as a man eater but it’s from the 70’s where I’d imagine not a lot was known about sharks, plus it’s fantastic even in scenes where the shark is not mentioned so it gets a pass from me for that)

Anyway, the sharks in this movie look mostly realistic, Jai Courtney’s performance is great, the suspense is very well done, the score is incredible, and I was entertained throughout. I also especially like how the sharks don’t attack if you are completely still, because that’s realistic. As someone with an interest in sharks, I really appreciate that they were factually accurate in their behavior. Now, the ending with the shark jumping out of the water with Jai Courtney *might* have been a little silly, I know sharks can jump out of the water, but that would probably never happen with a human.

The only negative, if I had to give one, was I thought the ending dragged out just a bit. It didn’t really take me out of the movie though, so it’s a minor complaint

Anyway, this movie is awesome, and I give it 4.75/5
