SPOILER ALERT. DON'T READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE.
I hope I have the characters names correct....
My wife asked me to see the movie with her as a Valentines Day date.
Here's my impression:
1. Enjoyable movie overall - mostly for the visuals, not the story.
2. Adverse reaction from my wife. She had a close call diving in Thailand and was shaking and crying during the drowning scenes. I tried to get her out of the theatre, but she insisted on staying. I don't think this will make her a better diver in the future.
3. I NEVER want to go diving with ANYONE who decides to drown me when I'm injured or ANYONE who requests to be drowned when they are injured. Can you tell me why the son wouldn't try to get a rescue party down that hole with the Japanese tank and then back up to save dad?
4. Again on point 3....was this a movie on euthanasia? I counted 2 outright suicides: Carl and Luko. Frank's was suicide/euthanasia/murder. JD's death was bizarre....it's a "mercy killing" since every bone in his body is broken - except his arm bones apparently since he was putting up quite a struggle to prevent his death. Judes seemed like an awfully panicky girl for someone who's an experienced diver (freaking out during the "squeeze" which damaged her hose, leading to her death).
5. Victoria's death. As much as I would like to have a pretty girl in a cave with me, I think Frank was right when he said Victoria made 3 mistakes...1. Coming into a cave dive with no diving experience. 2. Refusing the wear the wetsuit. 3. Using the knife near the rope. I'd also like to point out 3 mistakes Frank made. 1. Allowing Victoria into the cave. 2. Not insisting that Victoria wear the wetsuit. 3. Mentioning the 3 mistakes Victoria made in front of her boyfriend immediately after she gets killed. Ruined the "team spirit" to say the least....
6. Did I mention that if I get hurt - please leave me behind (in war movies, they give the guy a grenade). I might look badly hurt but you never know...maybe I'll feel better in an hour. Whatever you do....DON'T drown me!
