AsMoral Wrote:Unfortunately, the movie did so well that it has spawned a sequel in name only. The German-made "Adrift" has been renamed "Open Water 2" to cash in on the title success of the first film.That sounds really horrible to me. First that they would rename it as Open Water 2. Second, the plot sounds really dumb to me; maybe if I watch the trailer it will seem better. How about everyone taking off their suits and making a rope? There .... solved!
The general premise of the sequel is a group of friends take a party yacht out to sea (where else would you take a yacht) and decide to jump in the water for a swim. (Where else would you jump for a swim?)
It isn't until they are all in the water that they realize that no one lowerd the ladder. (DUH!) Now they are adrift with no way to get back on their ship and it isn't long until sharks show up. To make matters worse, there is a baby on board the boat. (This isn't seen in the trailer but is mentioned in several write ups of the film.)

Scott Hajek Wrote:After seeing Open Water 2, you might rethink that statement.
The subtitle of Open Water 2 is "Adrift." The whole time I was watching this movie, I was thinking of alternate subtitles. For example:
Open Water 2: Stupid People Swimming
Open Water 2: Come on, Drown Already
Open Water 2: McSteamy is McStupid
Open Water 2: Bare Ass Stupid

I can't believe how many people told me it sucked or how boring it was, what flick were they watching; I was riveted. I was petrified during the lightning scene. Good stuff.
AsMoral Wrote:LMAO! awesome! Scooter's opinions helped save me from renting this. It has been removed from my netflix queue.
