Popcorn vs Kernel

5 Popcorns = Must see!
4 Popcorns = You'll probably like it.
3 Popcorns = Go in the morning when there are cheaper ticket prices.
2 Popcorns = Maybe rent it.
1 Popcorn = Wait for a friend to rent it and watch it with them.
Kernel = Don't see it at all. Ever.

The Shallows (2016)





Directed by: Jaume Collet-Serra

Written by: Anthony Jaswinski

Starring: Blake Lively







In an attempt to reconnect with her deceased mother, Nancy (Lively) travels to a hidden beach in Mexico to surf and just enjoy the water.  Unfortunately, while there she is attacked by a shark.

Loved this film!  I was tensed up in my seat the whole time.  This film keeps you on the edge with you wondering what is going to happen next.

This film has a clear protagonist and antagonist with it being Nancy and the shark respectively.  There aren't many other characters in the film.  It's pretty basic premise with her needing to survive and get away from the shark.

The main reason the film is not five popcorns is because in the film the creators make the shark seem like it is going after Nancy because it's vengeful.  According to my shark expert and to Earth Sky, sharks feel little emotion.

But other than that, this film is awesome and will keep you wanting more. 4 popcorns.
