Into the Blue Reviews

Of course, before watching this flick, I wasn't expecting much but what a worthless movie! I mean, beforehand, you know the whole thing is just about the eye candy, possibly Paul Walker for the girls and obviously Jessica Alba for the boys and there is nothing wrong with that provided that there is a more or less decent plot. But, unfortunately, except for the eye candy element, there is absolutely nothing interesting or remotely entertaining in this borefest. You have Josh Brolin before his breakthrough performance in 'No Country for Old Men' who does what he can as the bad guy but even him couldn't save this. On the positive side, Jessica Alba does look good and there are some nice shots of the undersea world but that's not really enough to make a movie, in my opinion. To conclude, even though Alba is far from being a great actress, this must be the worst movie she has made so far not because it is really bad but because it is completely shallow, empty and deadly boring. It is not worth a look whatsoever and if you are looking for some eye candy, you should pick up something else with at least a plot.

Pretty bad but made watchable by the likes of Josh Brolin, Scott Caan and James Frain. Without them, the film is even worse!

Ok. As a scuba diver this was... a bit painful to watch.
Where do we begin?
Total disregard for safety. They penetrate a wreck, which is dangerous enough to do when you got scuba gear, but when you are snorkeling and got only one breath in your lungs? Come on!
They all run out of air at one point or another, which brings results in a few funny things. Sure, you can get excited and forget to check your airsupply, but I thought these were experienced divers? And what's with no octopus (backup 2nd stage to share air with a buddy in an emergecny)? Any trained diver will have one, it's essential standard equipment. Then we have the rapid ascents, sure they are not That deep, but that's just dangerous. This movie disregards most of the basic safety rules of scuba diving just to get more action.
Again with the huge underwater explosions that seemingly have no effect what so ever on divers real close.
Also, no one seems to care at all about preserving the archeological finds. I thought these were suppose to be the good guys vs the evil ones?
I can let the way way long breaths slide since people can train themselves to hold their breath for several minutes.

Ok, let's review the actual movie without the technical issues.
Predictable plot. Shallow characters.
Not much else to say really. Only waste time on this if you are really obsessed with Jessica Alba.
