InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

hsimpleton The three main characters were so unlikeable that I couldnt wait for the sharks to chow down on them! HARD PASS!!!!

hongkong666 And another franchise completely ruined. Open Water Pt. 1 was a pretty good movie with great acting and suspense. Even the second one was not that bad, even though it didn't link up to the first one. But it was still watchable. Open Water 3: Cage Dive comes to us as another one of these useless low budget Found Footage films. The only plus this movie has is Megan Peta Hill, who is at least cute and therefore nice to look at. But let's face it, the acting is horrible, the dialogues trash and to speak from a cinematic perspective, the first part would use this one here as toilet paper. Definetely not worth your time.

BA_Harrison Just when I thought it was safe to go back in the water, a found-footage shark movie swims my way. Cage Dive takes the well-worn hand-held camera/faux documentary route to tell the story of three Californian adrenaline junkies - Jeff, Josh and Megan (Joel Hogan, Josh Potthoff and Megan Peta Hill)- who travel to Australia to experience great white sharks up close and personal. Unfortunately, their thrill-seeking experience doesn't go quite as planned when a freak wave capsizes the boat, leaving the friends stranded in shark-infested waters.I was actually enjoying this found-footage shark movie up to the point where an argument over the use of a flare results in the characters accidentally setting fire to their inflatable life raft; at this point, the film well and truly 'jumps the shark', after which it slowly sinks further and further into the murky depths of bad film-making. And when brothers Jeff and Josh forget about the sharks to have a scrap over Megan, with whom they are both in love, the film finally hits rock bottom. To director Gerald Rascionato's credit, the shark attack scenes are deftly handled and realistic (I guess that the sharks are CGI; if that is the case, they're extremely well done), resulting in a reasonable amount of tension, and there's one satisfyingly nasty moment where we see a survivor with the side of his face hanging off, but for much of the time it's just three whiny over-privileged idiots bobbing around in the sea. You'll be longing for the fish to start biting again.4.5 out of 10, rounded up to 5 for IMDb.

GL84 Looking at a recovered camera, the investigation into a shipwrecked group of tourists who got stranded in shark-infested waters off the coast of Australia recounts how the group attempted to film an audition video of them cage-diving with sharks and must try to survive the experience.This ended up being quite a rather unappealing effort. One of the main problems here is the fact that this one never features much of anything happening for much of the running time. Keeping so much of the running time concerned with the efforts of the modern-day focus to explain what happened rather than just letting the whole thing play out as it should as all the talking heads talking about the accident and the recovery efforts manages to hold off the amount of time it can spend on the incident itself. Likewise, that also ends up spoiling what happens to the group significantly by giving their outcome way before the film even starts with the friends which leaves this one with no suspense about their plight being told almost immediately into the film. As well, all the time spent on the beginning with their lives together really just eats at the time that could've been spent on the interactions with the survivors of the accident in the way which is where this one really could've had some good times here with that particular type of scene. The last real issue with this one is the fact that there's no real chance to see the films' big money scenes with the inability to focus on the main attacks which really limits their impact and effectiveness. The aftermath of the wave that strands them is handled with such a flurry of random activity in a rapid blur of foaming water and chaos that it's only after the fact you can tell what happened, the scenes of the sharks rushing up and attacking are cut away before anything happens and the idea of what's going on here in the later scenes are rendered completely moot by the utter first-person shooting scenario that keeps it all focused on the individual shooting it rather than allowing us a chance to see what's going on. That really lets the film down, alongside the inability to care about anyone involved her due to the revelations that spring up in the second half, which all manages to hold this one down against it's few good points. Unlike most other efforts in the genre, this one doesn't really seem ludicrous as for why they would keep filming, as the need for enhanced visuals or night-vision to see in the dark means that the need for the camera is always there and that does seem somewhat fresh and original. As well, the fact that the realism of their peril together gives this a nice feel in the finale which is quite an impressive overall tone. These, though, don't make it hold up all that much.Rated R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.
