It's fun in small doses, but generally disappointing.
If like me, you were lured in by the trailer, which to be fair for those of us that like shark movies, even though they're nearly all terrible, you can be forgiven for thinking this one would be different....
.....It wasn't unfortunately.
On the plus side, as is so often the case it is a nice idea, I love the idea of those cave sharks, blind, relying on sound, great, only they looked a little like Jaws III at times, and were a little on the dim side. The characters were such, that you didn't care if they got eaten or not, and apart from the quite brilliant scene used in the trailer (you can see why) it didn't really deliver many scares.
I won't say it was atrocious, because it wasn't, it is more what I'd class as a fun movie.
How long before a dive into the waters of The Arctic, and divers get terrified by Greenland sharks? One day.
Mehh, 4/10.

These girls were less stupid than the ones in the first film at least.
The masks
OMG
underwater thriller
Grant (John Corbett) has brought his family down to Mexico for his cave diving business. His daughter Mia (Sophie Nélisse) gets bullied at school. His step-daughter Sasha (Corinne Foxx) is not happy with her new family either. The students are set to leave on a glass-bottom boat tour. Sasha convinces Mia to join her friends for an outing of their own. Mia leads the girls in a dive of a submerged Mayan ruin. All goes to hell with they are confronted by a cave shark.
The underwater thriller has some appeal but also a lot of difficulties. Despite a big mask, it is often tough to differentiate between each character. It's not quite jumping the shark but it's in the ballpark. It's highly unlikely that sharks could grow to such sizes with only food found in the caves. It would be more reasonable to have an ocean going shark get accidentally trapped underground. The final ending is pre-determined by the movie setup. It ends exactly as I expected. The details are somewhat problematic. Instead of a flare, she needs to get a spear gun. The slow motion needs to be eliminated. There is no way that people are getting chomped and still walk away.

I like it
Those who have high expectations are wrong here. But if you know what you will be getting involved with for the next 1,5 hours, then this movie is not bad at all, also the ending.
The only review you need to read!!!!!!!

A fun watch with decent scares.
My nephews 9 and 16 loved it. I liked it a lot and would probably watch it again. It's one that is best in a theater like setting like the first one in my opinion. The scares are more effective in a theater setting due to that it does rely on a decent amount of jump scares. But and it's a big but... they are placed well and aren't cheap jumps. You jump for a reason and not just a noise so they're done right and effectively in my opinion. But it has plenty of scary moments and situations that aren't cheap jump scares. You can't call the jumps like you can in other movies and that's what makes it refreshing.
For what it is it did an amazing job and you should give it a chance. I think you'll like it. They might be pushing it with another one but this can stand alone as a decent creature feature that isn't boring in the slightest. The only reason it's getting a seven and not an eight is the horribly done word changes. I caught two moments where they changed what they said. I'm assuming for the rating since it was a crap in place of a cuss word and another that I can't remember off the top of my head but it was a cuss word. I wasn't happy with this. I'm tired of over censorship and I think this is one of those cases. A bunch of young girls are gonna cuss it's not surprising. Watch it and you'll most likely enjoy it. That's the only thing I didn't like about it.

I mean.......what more do you want?
I didn't expect this movie to be good.
In fact I went and saw it specifically to see a bad, entertaining movie but I was pleasantly surprised. Don't get me wrong this isn't a good movie but for what it is, can you really ask for more?
The beginning is just lazy. There's little to no character development and when the four girls enter the cave you genuinely do not care about any of them. (I cant even really blame the actors for this cause the dialogue was just not given any effort whatsoever.)
But then the good part starts. The lazy direction and cinematography of the beginning goes away and there are actually some really cool shots and scenes. For a shark movie it's actually scary and the jump scares were actually well done for once.
By the time it ended I'd begun to actually vaguely care about the characters and I guess I just wanted some well directed shark kills with a storyline that gets more interesting and just better as it goes on.
All in all It's just dumb fun, nothing to dislike really. Sure it's not great but what more to do you want? It's a shark movie called 47 Meters Down Uncaged.

Blind sharks!!!
Telepathy and a shark
Apparently, these braindead girls are gifted with Telepathy since they can speak to each other and hear and listen to one another without earpods, or any significant gear for such action. I suppose that if you decide to overlook this " minor" detail and a few other insults to the intellect, meaning if you shut you brain off, you might enjoy the scares and, of course, root for the shark.

hilariously awful... watch if you enjoy laughing at bad movies
Way Better Than it Has Any Right to Be
I truly had no interest in seeing this film, with little marketing and a first film that by no means was deserving a sequel. However, with a fresh new cast and not much else out in theaters this past weekend, I thought I might as well give it a shot. Following in the footsteps of many other blockbuster style films this summer, 47 Meters Down: Uncaged is a harmlessly thrilling sequel that cares much more about its scares than it does in developing characters, but that's not really what you go to these movies looking for. Paced out well with tension that never seems to end, I couldn't help but be entertained by this sequel. Heck, I'll take another few of these. Shark movies always seem to have a great deal of appeal.

Bad Underwater Scenes
Rating 4.0/10
The first time i've seen the trailer i thought the movie would be amazing and full of thrilling scenes, unfortunetly i was wrong. The acting in it are mediocre and falls short of satisfaction. Not only that, the storyline not as good as i hoped. Truly bad shark movie.
Better than the first one
So I really enjoy these types of movies. And I always go into them knowing well enough that it is fictional, unlikely, and unrealistic. But that's what makes a MOVIE. If you are trying to be a critic and point out all of the flaws and have realistic expectations then you should stick to National Geographic or animal planet.
Now for those of you who enjoy movies and have an open mind, I recommend this movie. If you saw the first one then you kind of know the synopsis of what happens. I thought this one was a lot scarier and had more to it to keep you engaged. There were a few jump scenes some were predictable and some were very shocking. There are some parts of the movie that reminded me a lot of first one, like running out of air, sister bonding, and of course the sharks. If you haven't seen the first one it's OK it won't affect this movie at all. I probably wouldn't see it again only because this is one of those movies that is better in theater and it won't be as good a second time knowing what happens. But all in all I'm giving it an eight because it was rather enjoyable, had me on the edge of my seat, and had me rooting for the main character.
And the sharks were great, A+ for scary & toothy smiles.

Literally the worst movie I've ever seen
Complete trash. I created this account just to say this movie was garbage. I couldn't rate it directly on amazon so it brought me here. I then had to create an IMDB account and verify my email just to write this review. It is bad. Don't watch it. I want 91 minutes of my life back.
Forget the haters
This movie was TERRIFYING!! Imagine yourself getting disoriented in an underwater maze knowing that you're oxygen supply is running out. Add to that, great white sharks. Now you're using your air quicker due to swimming hard and screaming. Did I mention the strong currents? This film had so much. I felt the acting was solid and I enjoyed the journey that this movie took me on. I even liked the SpongeBob ending spending time at the Chum Bucket. This movie had me on edge from the moment they jumped into the water. I really liked the first movie and thought they did a great job with this follow-up.

A fun sequel that has some tremendous visual bite to it, an effective enough story, and serves as the summer's signature shark film.
The first film; 47 meters down was a simplistic well executed shark survival film that had enough going for it to be a solid entry into the depths of shark films albeit cliche.
This adds more intensity with a faster pace and some more action/scares throughout. Director Johannes Roberts clearly had a bigger budget as he was able to have much better set pieces and expanded settings in the underwater cave ruins and it works very well for the overall story and atmosphere. The actors may not be upper echelon, but they serve their purpose for the story. The colors and visuals are phenomenal and the cgi sharks look a lot better this time around. There are even some unexpected moments you won't see coming that i commend them for attempting. Overall a pretty enjoyable shark film with a terrific original setting concept that amplifies the intensity.
This movie was plain awful
The plot was okay but the acting was down right awful. I saw the first one on Netflix and I was surprised at how good it was but this mess here was terrible for something that was promoted in theaters. Perhaps they would've gotten better reviews if they skipped the box office and went straight to Redox or Netflix. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone!

How was this movie funded!!
Who funded this movie that should be in jail. Not to mention the writer.
Architecture
They really went far out to make something, to build a world, to really have something underground. Though once the mayhem starts nothing much is left of that. Still I would do a tour of the set if I ever was going to do deep diving (minus the sharks obviously).
Having said that, this is pretty bog standard and there is nothing special to it. Horror, blood and terror, you know all the ingredients you need - but not cooked to a degree that would make this special in any way
