It doesn’t try to introduce compelling characters, the shark sequences fall flat for the most part, and the screenplay is filled with laughable plot points. For an 89-minute runtime, it astounds me how it can’t be slightly entertaining, to say the least.

| Original Score: D- | Jul 24, 2023

This is a fun movie in which fairly ropey CGI sharks tear chunks out of characters who repeatedly make terrible decisions in service of the narrative.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 16, 2020

It was kind of fun, it had some spooky stuff, it had a good setting.

This is one of the better ones of these shark movies.

| May 22, 2020

It isn't quite the Syfy-like catastrophe it could have been but there isn't a lot here to take away that you can't get from the far more appealing and satisfying double feature of The Descent and Jaws 2.

[E]ven as [Roberts] still needs to work on creating more engaging victims, he knows exactly what to do once all hell breaks loose.

The film is best viewed as an amusement park ride on which you can experience the underwater, haunted house of an ancient, shark-infested, Mayan maze.

| Original Score: Catch It On Cable | Jan 10, 2020

There's no real message here to "Uncaged" beyond watching some sharks eviscerate a young girl's entire life and livelihood.

| Dec 7, 2019

In trying to one-up the first film, Uncaged becomes more cartoonish and unrealistic (granted, not in the league of The Meg), but that also makes it more fun than the downer original.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 22, 2019

The film ups the ante on its predecessor, resulting in a pure, rather beautiful example of genre as ritual.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 30, 2019

There are better proposals, there are better movies, and of course there are better bad movies of sharks out there. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Oct 22, 2019

A monotone and repetitive film. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 20, 2019

A work of entertainment that is disposable and predictable. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 18, 2019

How can the girls be heard screaming underwater? How can a human outswim a shark? If [only] the director had bothered to consider such basic questions...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 8, 2019

The action and terror scenes are the only achievement in this predictable story. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Oct 3, 2019

The movie was just bad, even the music was terrible...

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 19, 2019

At least everyone was beautiful...talented, but not in this movie...everyone phoned it in.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 19, 2019

There's nothing here that justifies the need for this sequel and it's lackluster across the board.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Sep 11, 2019

Between a very disorganized format, poor storytelling choices swallowing up any potential, and one-note, novice performances, we condemn 47 Meters Down: Uncaged to the chum bucket.

| Sep 6, 2019

It's one-death-fits-all, and it gets enormously dull by the time the film finally arrives at its legitimately creative final sequence.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 3, 2019
