Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Laakbaar I have no choice but to give this film a high score, because I've seen it three times now (once in the theatre; twice on the tube), and each time I've enjoyed it immensely.I should add at this point that I am an experienced and obsessed diver and snorkeler, so the underwater setting is part of the attraction for me. The underwater scenes here are vivid, colourful, visually exciting and beautifully filmed. It was like being there.I identify strongly with the character of Jared (Paul Walker). Here is a guy who knows how to handle himself and doesn't put up with any sh*t. If there actually were people like Jared in this world, leading the life he leads in this movie, I would be green with envy. This movie makes me want to quit my job, abandon my responsibilities, book a flight to the Bahamas, and look for someone like Jared to hang out with.The irony is that once Jared has made his fortune, he will look back on his simple island life, complete with dockside trailer and old boat, as the best days of his life.I would have enjoyed a movie just showing Jared and Sam (Jessica Alba), a hot couple living their perfect lives in this Caribbean paradise. However, the drugs story was entertaining enough. And I think it reflects the reality that the drugs trade wreaks havoc on many Caribbean islands.The character of Bryce (Scott Caan) was perhaps the only annoying thing about the film. No redeeming qualities there at all. It's inexplicable that Jared would hang out with someone like this, and that the filmmakers didn't kill him off in the end. Die, Bryce, die!I thought Josh Brolin played his role particularly well. He's an under-rated actor.If you love diving, snorkeling and the Caribbean, or if you just want to look at eye candy (male and female) for 90 minutes, you'll enjoy this film. I don't understand the low scores, but perhaps most moviegoers aren't into diving movies.

brooksduane54 When "Into the Blue" was first released, The New York Times, remaining ever true to its political-correctness dogma, dismissed it as irrelevant. Disregard. "Into the Blue," in reality, is a sexy, stylish, well-paced beach-side/underwater thriller that is positively laden with visual appeal. For the women, there's Paul Walker, showing off an absolutely drool-worthy set of abs and pecs in his Speedos and in his frequently-open shirts (and with his monumentally handsome puss freely displayed in mouth-watering close-ups). For us men, there are (sigh) Jessica Alba and Ashley Scott, lookin' good, good, GOOD in their bikinis and their tank tops and their tight jeans (and there's one SMOKIN' shot of our Ashley lying upon a boat topless with a pant-inducing view of her scrumptious bare feet). For those who just like good acting, there's Scott Caan and Josh Brolin, marvelously roguish and marvelously chilling, respectively, as Walker and Alba's questionable lawyer friend and "Blue"'s chief bad guy. The plot has something to do with Walker/Alba/Caan/Scott trying to retrieve some sunken treasure and Brolin resorting to murder and kidnapping in order to stop them, but, hey, the plot is certainly, definitely not the point. With "Into the Blue," skinthusiasts of both sexes have a near-pitch-perfect opportunity to settle in, sit back and soak up the eminently gorgeous flesh-and- blood scenery.

Lechuguilla The film's first half isn't bad, except for the prologue, which isn't needed. A youthful, photogenic guy with big dreams, accompanied by his photogenic girlfriend, uses a skimpy boat to look for sunken treasure beneath the clear, blue waters off the Bahamas.The visuals are dazzling, with bright, vivid colors, and some terrific underwater photography that captures images of real sharks and real fish, not fake CGI effects. The plot stays slow, lazy, and realistic. The script then brings in an additional couple, turning the story into a semi-ensemble character setup. As the plot develops, our two photogenic couples find some interesting stuff beneath the waves, which revs up the tension and conflict, and presents characters with moral dilemmas.But the second half deteriorates into your typical Hollywood assembly-line action flick, with a whole series of super fast edit sequences and silly, totally unrealistic, out-of-control plot points spurred on by peripheral characters that detract enormously from the two couples. Frenetic action, accompanied by irritatingly frenetic background music, ruins the second half, and makes a mockery of the story's premise.Acting is okay, I guess, given that this is a highly physical film wherein physical attractiveness and agility probably mean more than subtle theatrical skills. If there's a weakness here it's Scott Caan, whose cocky Bryce comes across as a total jerk, with nary a redeeming quality."Into The Blue" is very easy to judge. It contains wonderful cinematography, especially the underwater segments. And the strong visuals get support from impressive sound effects. But the story, though it begins well, collapses in the second half. The script is to blame. And yet I can't help but think that the real villain here is some Hollywood producer, typically underestimating the intelligence of viewers, who thinks that the story doesn't really matter if there's enough eye candy and explosive, mind-blowing action.

lilicedude227 Im sure you have heard negative things about this film but Im here to persuade you into seeing this movie. Lets talk about the positive elements of the movie.1. Beautiful underwater scenes and film locations. Im pretty sure it was all filmed in the Bahamas. This movie is visually stunning if you are a fan of diving or just the ocean or beach in general. This is one movie you want to watch on Blu-Ray set up to a really good HDTV. 2. Good story. This is one of those movies where you are thinking what would I do. It makes you question you morals of what is right and wrong. There is a interesting plot and side plot that go together quite well in this movie. 3. The actors all seem to really have a friendship in this movie, especially Walker, Alba, and Caan. It shows well on the screen. 4. Great soundtrack.The Negatives. 1. Okay the acting isn't the greatest in the world, especially on Alba's part but its do able. I mean this isn't going to win any Oscars but who cares. 2. I think they wanted to set up a twist ending in this movie but Im pretty sure most people can see it coming. Don't worry though because the end still holds up.All in all this is one of my favorite movies and you should definitely give it a try.
