I find watching paint dry more enjoyable than this film. Due to the requirements of IMDb, I'm forced to spend wasted time on why this film is deserving of the lowest rating allowed on the site. The movie is a poor man's version of "Finding Memo" and also has similarities with "Sharktail." If cruel and unusual punishment was legal, watching "The Reef" on repeat would fit the bill.To be honest, if possible, I would have given it a negative rating. Unfortunately, "The Reef" was given to my toddler as a gift, since he hasn't watched it an infinite amount of times, we have too endure voice overs that seem disinterested and cgi that is sub par even compared to today's apps geared for toddlers. Avoid this film!

Ugh I wanted to rate this film less than a 1 but I can't. This is truly the worst film ripping off so many films such as Finding Nemo, Shark Tales and Karate Kid. This film is EXTREMELY cliché and I thought Osmosis Jones was cliché but looking back at it the story has an educational mix to it unlike this film where the plot is very boring. The animation and graphics are poor to say the least. Why even make a film about an annoying orange fish with an ignorant pink female fish (she's the worst character in this film because of her ignorance and her obnoxiousness) and a gross shark. I say it's a rip- off of Karate Kid because it's a plot where 'A protagonist finds a girl he likes but she is with the antagonist and he's coming to fight for her back', sounds familiar? Even Shrek 4 wasn't this bad. This film is unwatchable and I had to watch it twice to make sure I didn't make a stupid mistake but there was no doubt now. I know people will say there are worse films or say things like 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' or 'Battleship Earth' are the worst films but I have watched them and they are bad but tolerable. I can be cruel and go as far as saying that I would rather become friends with Jon Venables and Robert Thompson than to ever watch this torture device. I really hope Nemo comes and murders Pi and Cordellia.

Animation is hard work and to bitch about something what you can not create is just rude.If you do not like it,then do not watch it.It is is lovable story about a brave fish. But what is so great is the beautiful background of the sea and her amazing creatures. The colours of The Reef are so great. They just want you to put on you swimming suit and go to explore the sea. Kids will love this movie.It helps their imagination and creates a respect for the sea. It might not be one of the greatest movies it is still a pretty good pastime.

Everyones going to say it and I'm no different. Shark Tale/Finding Nemo rip-off!The start is Finding Nemo, right down to the parent being caught.Pi is sent off to find his Aunt on The Reef. On the journey Pi grows up in less than 5 seconds and is told by Aunt Pearl they never go to Flat Bottom so you know he IS going to go there. And to stay off the Haunted Pirate Shipwreck. And sure enough they go to both forbidden places within less than 5 minutes of being told not to.Odd that.I do question how a fish knows the names of Star constellations?Anyway, Pi gets bullied and beaten up by a Shark who likes the girl/fish he loves, goes on a journey of self discovery until all his friends help him defeat the bad shark. Exceptionally DULL and predictable.He gets the girl. No shock there.This is Really Boring and awful, nothing happens and its tedious to watch as it takes SO much time to get anywhere at all.Leave it until its in the DVD bargain bin which won't be long.
