This was a lot better than i was expecting, in fairness to it.

There was a bit of scene setting and then it was right into the action with passengers one by one getting munched by the over grown Goldfish of the deep.

It was well shot, at times the script was a bit lacking, and most of the main characters were decent enough, though the lad who broke his arm in the crash was one you just had no interest in as he was far too obnoxious in the opening scenes.

It did a decent job in building a bit of tension, though, for me anyway, it was obvious which characters were going to survive from early on, so although it succeeded in the tension, it did lack in suspense.

It's certainly better than some of the reviews would suggest. It's not going to be an 'Oscar' nominated film, but it's by no means awful.

This definitely isn't gonna be the best film of the year, but it is decent and entertaining to watch. Most actors do a solid job, most notably the main actress, even though the boyfriend and the best friend characters could have benefited from better directing and a few more acting classes. There was some unnecessary backstorying involved with the side characters and you do have to suspend belief for a few of the scenes, but nothing you don't already do with most shark films. I enjoyed the dry humor and the witty dialogue, and was heavily engaged by the time the last part rolled around.

It really isn't one of those horrible-low budget-bad acting-disaster films most reviewers on here claim it is, definitely judge by yourself.

"No Way Up" is a cinematic rollercoaster that takes the concept of a disaster movie to new depths - quite literally. Kicking off with a raging storm and a brand of nail-biting tension that disaster movie enthusiasts might adore, this film has a few moments that surpass expectations. There are scenes that are well-crafted escalations of fear and triumph, offering that edge-of-your-seat experience that keeps your eyes glued to the screen. The premise itself is quite engaging, positioning a diverse group of characters against an unforgiving sea with the clock ticking, creating a solid ground for some genuinely entertaining sequences.

However, the movie doesn't always hold up under scrutiny. While we're ready to suspend disbelief for the thrill of the adventure, there are parts where the plot stretches this too thin, leaving us questioning the unfolding events rather than getting lost in them. Character development seems to have taken a backseat on this ill-fated flight, with some individuals feeling more like stale stereotypes than real people. This results in a disconnect, where potentially tense moments lose their grip because the audience isn't fully invested in the characters' fates. Overall, it lands a mediocre 5 out of 10 - a film that offers some thrills and a modest dose of entertainment, but ultimately fails to soar due to its plot inconsistencies and lackluster character arcs.
