Customer Ratings & Reviews

Really disappointed in this movie. Didn't really keep my attention.

Couldn’t played. Not a good purchase, a waste of time !!!

When making a shark movie, everyone is automatically going to compare it to Jaws. The Shallows does its own thing and it does it well. Blake Lively is a talented actress and I'd like to see her do more thriller films like this.

This review is for the UHD (Ultra HD) Blu-Ray version of The Shallows - Review was done on a 2016 LG OLED 4K TV using an Oppo UDP-203 Ultra HD player I won't go much into the movie details but will say that the movie itself was very enjoyable. With limited Ultra HD titles available, I've found myself buying some great looking movies.. even if the movie isn't that good. This movie was a great mix. The movie comes in a 2-disc set: Disc 1 is the 4K version of the movie (requires an Ultra HD Blu-Ray player), disc 2 is the 1080p Blu-Ray version of the movie with the extras. The movie is in 2.39:1 ratio (black bars on the top/bottom) and has Dolby Atmos audio for those with an Atmos receiver. The movie itself looked great. Being a mix of shot in 4K and 2K, with the effects mastered in 2K.. I was surprised with how great it looked. Being an outdoor movie, it really shows off the great location they shot it in. Grain/noise was relatively low throughout while the HDR really made the beach/water pop. Definitely a "demo disc" to show off the 4K quality while also being a very enjoyable movie. One of the top 10 titles I've viewed so far, right up there with The Revenant and some others. Highly recommended for anyone with a 4KTV and 4K UHD Blu Ray Player!

While no "Jaws," this movie about a battle of survival between a stranded female surfer and a voracious great white shark is entertaining and suspenseful at key moments. The movie is less about realism and more for suspense and entertainment. It accomplishes that and holds its own as a movie worth seeing... for the right price. The blu ray has a few "making of " special features that are interesting and not overly long. If you enjoy the ocean, surfing, or sharks, give this one a try... you might be pleasantly surprised for 90 minutes.

After Credits you are met with spectacular cinematography of waves slurping against a pleasant isolated beach with wind-blown palms in the background, serine pan shots of waves and the water’s-action - all accompanied by a sound-track that is nothing short of brilliant and superbly filmed shots of spectacular surfboarding that’s out of this world. The film had a very wide range of visual and special effects along with heavily choreographed scenes – it can be easily said that there was a steady flow action or some kind of visual movement throughout the entire film. Blake was stupendous as solo, and she carried the show to an exceptionally high entertainment level – she is a remarkable actress.

The graphics for this movie are amazing in 4k! I was honestly extremely hesitant to buy this movie because I thought it would probably just be another shark movie that is halfway decent but I was nicely surprised on how good this movie is. Blake Lively was hot and did well acting. The reason why I didn't rate the movie 5 stars is because I thought that there could have been some more interesting twists or turns that occurred to keep me glued to the TV but overall I give it 4 stars.

A truly terrifying experience. Anchored by strong acting, great visual effects and thrilling action sequences, 'The Shallows' will make you scared of the ocean all over again.

If you are a fan of shark movies,this is one of the better ones.Good storyline,good acting,great scenery.Definitely,a cut above the horrible sharknado type of shark movie.

Great movie, always wanted to know what would happen next, kept your suspense! Blake did a great job acting you believed here situation!

With nods to classics such as Jaws this simple shark movie still managers to muster a few thrills

My wife and I were surprised at how good the movie was! And the blu-ray disc has flawless picture/sound.

Blake Lively shines in this picturesque tale of survival vs shark. Shot on a secluded island in Australia.

Very entertaining movie (DVD) from beginning to end. You will not be disappointed...
