Alex - When I saw the trailer for The Shallows, my first thought was "How are they going to make an entire film based on this premise!?" Now that I've seen the film, I know the answer: YOU CAN'T. Blake Lively plays a surfer who decides to visit a beach in Mexico where her mom used to surf. She decides to go there and surf that area for the first time, and is attacked by a shark. Each scene becomes more preposterous than the last. Example: at one point while being chased by the shark, Blake's character tries to hide within a school of jellyfish... CG JELLYFISH! For some reason the shark takes everything personal and makes the killing of Blake Lively his sole mission in life. But I must admit: after watching Blake's horrid performance, I felt I could empathize with the shark. 1.5/10
