Saw Open Water with Darren today, 1pm matinee. Yep, interrupted the Big Rip! Worth the trouble however, a solid film. It is very obviously an outside Hollywood pic, with no actors I have seen before.
Premise, in a line: A couple left out in the ocean by mistake, floating.
Pluses: good dialogue, decent camera, nice use of minimal music. A touch of "Thin Red Line" nature photography, some truly beautiful ocean/skyshots. The movie conveyed nicely just how big, and primitive the ocean is.
I would compare this film to 28 Days Later, another outsider film that had a short run on the big screen. Don't miss this one.
