The whole shark catching scene was ridiculously unrealistic. How did he even catch that fish? With a knife?? Yeah..
sharegene actually stabbed a fish then later stabbed a shark that size and got him into the boat because his knife was stuck in it's gills, it's hard to believe but if you ever get your hands stuck in a fish's gills it's pretty hard to get out, hurts like hell too, read about it here, the film changed some things up a bit but most was right on

it was crazy, the sizes of that shark and the one cruising around there were way over top, and yeah, how did he catch it again, lol..
at least they had the good sense to eat more than just the liver, as Zamparini's crew did with their shark..the liver, by my reckoning, it probably the main part you should avoid eating...toxic Vit A levels, for a start..
For a low-budget independent movie I thought the CGI was mostly pretty good. It was only some of the early flying shots that really bothered me.

So what! Some of the cg I see in movies with budgets of 150 million plus look like video game cut scenes. Most people can over that. No reason to dismiss this movie
shareWho cares? Good movie.

Agreed.
I didn't go into this film expecting some special effects extravaganza.
And, at least *with* CGI used (however lame it may have been), there is no room for any claim that real sharks were abused in the making of this film
The story was an awesome story & I appreciated that it didn't portray the men as handwringing hysterical ninnies. Instead, the film focused on creative strategies employed by the men, and the genuine drama of the situation as opposed to riddling it with lifetime-esque melodramatic cathartic nonsense.
It's a good flick that way. And I, for one, did not care about the quality of the bit players (bad pun intended)

The underwater sharks looked passable. The one that they stabbed and dragged onto the raft was hilariously fake.
shareI think they were mainly overboard with it's size..I found the means of catching it pretty wild, but people here are saying it was actually the way it happened...I just don't think they could manage of handle it with one that size..
the ones cruising around them are JAWS-sized, too...the near-miss shark attack was pure old-Hollywood, too, imo, with the fin chasing him down on the surface..
most shark attacks are from below and oblique, and aimed at the legs..not dorsal fins bearing down on you..
Good grief--every time a movie does CGI, there seems to be a clutch of basement trolls who tell us how awful the CGI was. WTF did you expect? A real live shark to be used, flopping on the lifefraft? I thought it was very good.
I bet you thought the bear attack scene in The Revenant was hokey. Get a life!
BTW, if you were REAL CGI experts, you would've noticed on how the very first scene of the plane was CGI. But no, you only grab onto the obvious.
