I thought this movie was relentless and exciting, but I think they really took the easy way out by not showing the boat turning over, right? They just show the male character opening up a kitchen cabinet downstairs and the next thing you know there is water pouring in. I don't remember them even saying there was a leak.
shareI kept thinking that they cut a scene or something, because all I saw was them scraping the hull against some coral, and the next moment the boat is capsized and supposedly sinking?
How does scraping the hull against a bit of coral cause a boat to flip over?
And what kind of sailors (they did make out that three of them were experience sailors, if I recall) are so stupid that they sail a boat in water that shallow without having a lookout in the bow shouting out warnings of obstacles under the surface?
The boat overturned because the keel had broken off.

Plus not having a cheap sonar type device that you would have for a sailboat of that cost.
I started watching the movie, got past the part where they were on the beach, were called back to the boat, and then made it out of the shallows(?) because the editing was so messed up even there, that I almost stopped it. Like it seemed like the engine wouldn't start, then the guy was moving the wheel back and forth, but if you knew nothing about boating(and I think even if you did) there was no way that you would even know that they were supposed to be moving yet? I was like OK, so they are stuck? Then I was like wait a minute, the guy says they are out of it, and I was like 'they were moving?'. Really horrible editing. Then OK so I was passed that, and the woman came up and wanted to see the morning sunrise. The next thing I know, the guy is downside, and then under the boat, then people crying/screaming/yelling, people had masks on(why would they?) and in the water, and now we see the people floating around a capsized boat. One of the worst editing jobs I think I have EVER seen in a motion picture of this calibre. IDK if this was straight to video or not, but it def seemed like a somewhat medium quality job, maybe the acting was a bit rough. But to have an editor that was so horribly bad I think cost them huge points. I think that it must have been a newbie editor, but someone at some point must have seen the movie in the beginning, and said, 'Hey, OK, so I know that you guys are all done, but we need to have a reshoot of this, of get some CGI done or something, and recut this whole section'. They must have been really, REALLY pressed for money, or the investors were like, 'We don't care, just give us what you have'. Horrible. A 5 or 6 out of ten movie reduced down to a 3 or 4, IMO, just for those few scenes, and I didn't even finish the movie, so there was probably more. Maybe it wasn't the editors fault, maybe the editor was the hero. Maybe there simply wasn't enough coverage, and it was the director or even the DP, IDK, but someone screwed up bigtime.
