Ultimately, if it weren't for the eye candy, it would be a waste of time. But I can't say my head wouldn't turn if I saw it playing on a television nearby. Go to Full Review

Jelisije J @jjosifovic 14h The four main leads are very decent with their acting, but the story goes way to over the top for me to consider this film a good film or even a film to recommend people to watch. See more 02/06/2020 I thoroughly enjoyed this film at a friend's house with some good company and the express intention of watching a very bad movie. And boy did we find it. From the director of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure comes the sequel nobody wanted from a film that nobody liked. Into the Blue 2: The Reef is bad soap opera dialogue, plot and acting with the egregious tits and arse of a Fast and Furious movie. There's the same underwater shoot padded over six times throughout the entire movie and the glorious use of split screen editing and incongruous and sudden bursts of ear-splitting music from unknown bands so the director could fit a music video's worth of stock underwater footage or bikini volleyball in for several 4 minutes 37 seconds and prevent the entire running time from being 40 minutes and change of actual 'plot'. Characters don't flinch after the people they love are killed, villains disappear, or instead end up acting with their mouths almost entirely shut, and none of it is engaging or interesting or makes a lick of sense. But sandwiched in two parts between a viewing of Ultraviolet, this film looked like Citizen Kane by comparison. Bad but not abysmal. Cheap and crass but not offensive or studio-destroyed. All in all, I guess they all made the exact kind of film they wanted to make, which by that, I mean, a film that allowed everyone to go to the beachside for the entire shoot. See more 01/07/2018 Kinda like Baywatch but without fan service See more 03/16/2016 just because I love the water a other then that it's not really worth watching, first one is way better See more 05/06/2015 A generic crime thriller, Into the Blue 2: The Reef is a poorly made piece of garbage. The story follows a scuba diving team that's hired by a smuggler to recover some lost cases, but they soon discover that things are not what they appear to be. Laura Vandervoort, David Anders, and Marsha Thomason lead the cast, but their performances are rather weak. And the writing is incredibly bad; full of one-dimensional characters and standard genre tropes. Additionally, the directing is unfocused and doesn't bring any intensity or suspense to the film. Formulaic and clichéd, Into the Blue 2: The Reef is uninspired tripe. See more 02/10/2015 Plot holes. Flaws. Unconvincing bad guys. But that aside, it was alright. Made me miss the original so much more as it was far better than this. See more Read all reviews
