I agree with what most said about the Sharks made the movie. I was grateful this didn't try to incorporate some "fake" stuffed or blew up shark and was moved by the beauty in the scenes and especially the great whites.The characters were NOT believable. I am not against Halle Barry, I learned to respect her in The Call. Thought she did that Thriller justice (decent acting). However she was completely cast wrong here. I didn't see her as a shark expert..and was dumbfounded (really DUMB founded) by the dialog? Really, a "Shark Whisperer" with lines like "you have to get right up there and feel them and touch them for them to teach you what you need to learn.."?? Here is another famous Shark Whisperer's knowledge (listen close people, you don't want to miss this).."In order to swim with sharks you need to get near them so they trust you"? That's it. This is why this film failed miserably with me. The DIALOUGE was immature and stupid. it made Halley Barry MORE unbelievable to be in that role. I found her real simple (3to 4 words) here and there in the beginning where she was trying to speak (South African?) or (haitian)? Not sure. Sounded very forced and like she was reading from a card. Was NOT believable she had a second language. The relationship had NO chemistry with the French dude. He really made no sense (i mean literally) couldn't understand him and his mannerisms belonged more in a predictable French horn-dog movie then an action "shark" specialist movie. he didn't fit in his role either.the annoying rich guy was just that ANNOYING. an ENTIRE scene was thrown in that had NOTHING to do with the movie at all when the clam /seal criminals swam "that night"?? No bodies turned up, no fish was identified as "blood hungry" now, they even drove their boat to the very spot and never a word more about that scene (not to mention I couldn't tell what happened it was so dark and disheveled)??? Much of the action scenes I couldn't tell who it was or what was actually happening then it would flash to what we were taught to believe was "Kate" just hovering in the water, gasping for air every 10min then swimming back under water? Scrip should have been more smart and acting and CASTING more believable. I should have learned more of sharks. Halle didn't look to me like a shark woman and the script and lines were too dumb to prove her worthy of being any remote resemblance of a shark expert? You couldn't tell who was who in the water and after she lost her "safety" she continued to dive in with No one to watch her back? What changed for needing a safety? ANd, diving in treacherous water in the pitch BLACK made no NO sense not to mention taking two innocent wacks out in that dangerous patch. Nothing made sense. BUT, the scenery was gorgeous, the sharks were so gorgeous and I wanted yes YEARNED to alteast hear some new information about them (something intellectual and real interest) but everything out of Halle's mouth was stupid talk. I could have made stuff up more interesting and that sounded more SharK "ettiquitte" than her lines. I also didn't see any Love connection..just dis jointed, jittery, almost silly (child like) scenes from the beginning to end (with the guy that first died to her french misfit husband). no real chemistry or sense. I thought she needed time to adjust and yet we see a very short, forced scene where she dives in (again with NO safety) and she is back? The director and whoever wrote the scripts must have been hired off the streets?I loved the beautiful REAL LIFE shark filming. I wouldn't say I hated the movie though but that is because there have been so many MANY MANY horrid, absolute HIDEOUS movies out with blood and guts, bad script and it was refreshing to finally watch a movie with no sex and bad language - THAT was refreshing.

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 !

This was an excellent movie! I'm not sure why it has such a low rating, maybe not enough blood and guts for people.If you want to see a movie that can show the real power, yet graceful side of sharks this is the movie for you. It has none of the big breasted bimbos screaming at the top of their lungs, doing nothing to save them selves. It has a wonderful actress as a free diver, swimming with the sharks. The dynamic between the characters is amazing, and the characters really cause you to believe that this might actually happen.The realness of this movie shocked me, as I thought it was going to be another Jaws type movie, but it's far from it. The film makers really did their research when making this movie.So don't miss out....this is a MUST see movie if you're a shark lover.

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.
