Dark Tide Audience Reviews

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
GL84 After an accident forces her out of the water, a traumatized shark expert finds a possible chance at redemption guiding a thrill-seeker through shark-infested waters only for her worst fears to come back and haunt her.On the whole this was quite a disappointing and barely worthwhile killer shark thriller. That is the biggest issue here with this one, the fact that far too much of this one is an overblown drama about her experience and condition that it stops the film cold to deal with an endless series of uninteresting scenes that do nothing but eat up time. The endless scenes of everyone worrying about her and the stubbornness to get help from them or others really just end up going nowhere as it's not until the clichéd storyline of overdue bills that brings about the end of the funk which is really quite a common theme that it's completely unsurprising to see it being the catalyst for everyone. The scenes of her leading the tour for the group are hardly any more enjoyable and there's a large slew of scenes that are just painful to get through as they banter and tease each other which really shouldn't occur in such a situation as many of the jokes there could potentially lead to injury or death in an accident so there's a lot of questionable motives in place there which just continues the excruciatingly long time this one takes to actually do anything. On top of that, this one again goes for the drama with the out-of-nowhere revelation about the reason for being on the guided tour and really just overall taking this one so far out of the horror realm that it's well over an hour before there's any signs of shark attacks going on. The few glimpses seen here are nothing more than spliced shots from a number of National Geographic-style show specials relating to the creature and generally make for a more engaging and coherent watch than the clumsy way they're edited in here with the action occurring and them re-acting to it from another camera edit, and altogether this makes for some wholly uninteresting and bland experiences. There's a few somewhat decent elements here with this one really showing off a much more realistic and positive image of the creatures than would normally be the case for such a film here, really getting a good chance to look at their lifestyle and grace that they portray in real-life which is a rather enjoyable experience rather than painting them up to be flesh-crazed monsters. It still delves into that territory quite readily with the early attack proving to be completely understandable in terms of setting up her fears and the final half hour is full of great fun with them being forced to survive against the elements and the sharks continually around them, but it's still not quite enough to make it against the other flaws here.Rated PG-13: Violence and Language.
Filmawy El Kaber OMG !! Halle Berry why? why baby!? By all means the worst shark movie ever!! 94 minutes while it should be 30 or 35 at most! It's not a documentary and for sure it's not a movie!!why? here are why : 1-No real storyline. 2- Looooooong booooring underwater footage with absolutely no meaning. 3- Shallow characters. 4- awful sound track. 5-below average acting ! 6-more looooooong boooooring underwater footage!! 7-no excitement what so ever !overall a total waste of time and believe me I love Halle Berry but this movie-like thing is going to make me think twice before I watch any shark movie or Halle Berry's movie !
kosmasp If this would've been a documentary, I would've been full of praise. Beautiful pictures, even those without Halle Berry in them, and great environment. Unfortunately I cannot judge this just by those underwater shots. I have to also rate the dialog and the story. Both of which lack a lot, not only in comparison to the scenery.Halle Berry and her love interest in this are annoying to the point they make the real bad guy look like the only sane person in this thing. And that is just because he has a clear goal, nothing will get him off that. But our heroes? Better not ask. Especially because their answer will bore and/or annoy you to death. I love Halle, but only watching this because of her or the sharks has to be a decision only you can make ... don't count on an intriguing story though!
Pedro Guilherme When i saw the release of Dark Tide i thought it could be interesting, nothing like the classic "JAWS" but it still could be a good movie of sharks, and a good one for me, must have adrenaline, danger and panic - a lot of things that this movie doesn't have. In fact, this movie doesn't have anything, it is poor in general. The good thing in this movie is the excellent views of the sharks under water, we can see them in perfection going around is natural habitat. If you want to see the live of sharks under the ocean this is perfect, if you want a movie that you can compare with old ones of the same type, forget, it looks like a documentary.
