Open Water 2: Adrift

Are you bored? Take a yacht, go to the high seas, throw incompetent actors into the water and let them overact for 95 minutes, bray stupid existential phrases, moan hysterically, die in the stupidest possible ways and end it all with something incomprehensible in the style of Lynch. The result cannot be (and is not) anything more than grandiose bullshit about as believable as Mirek Topolánek's speeches and about as sexy a Jirka Paroubek's ass. Unfortunately, Hans Horn cannot achieve the qualities of Boll, because he respects a certain insurmountable standard of nonsense, and Open Water 2: Adrift is not formally as dreadful as Uwe's projects. That’s is not a compliment, dear friends - it is meant as criticism. (27/02/2008)

The open sea, a group of kids, unlimited fun, fooling about, a mass jump into the water, a view of boat steps pulled out of the water, period, the end. With such short footage, it would probably have worked great on YouTube. For some strange reason, they made it as a feature length movie intended for the movie theater. The people whose fate formed the basis of this movie deserve the Darwin Award posthumously for their dumbness (in reality they all died, but here a happy ending is in store for some of them). The director should meet the destiny that awaited his characters. And the screenwriters? I think they’re great because I believe that they still have fits of laughter when they remember that all four of them actually got paid for those five minutes’ “work" with a couple of lines of “story and dialogs". Bad, boring, unfunny and irritating. (19/02/2008)

Open Water 2: Adrift is a bad movie that literally annoyed me the whole time, especially with that terrible ending trying to be emotionally powerful and symbolic. Considering it's built on nonsensical gibberish, it's just something I couldn't stomach anymore. These are the kinds of movies that aren't worth wasting time on because the creators were simply trying to deceive the audience. (14/05/2014)
