Going through the thick forest on the way to the ocean front, the trees are lined with green leaves, which on this 4K edition, simply pop right off screen with different shades of green coming through the various natural light sources. The sandy beaches, ocean water, and rough and ragged rock look incredible here. This low budget film looks phenomenal in 4K and brings a very realistic feeling to the viewer. You'll be able to see every tiny facial scar, wrinkle, and makeup effect easily here, and how each of these changes in the different light and shadows throughout the movie. The image is magnificent in 2160p with every small detail popping right off screen.
#THE SHALLOWS FULL MOVIE GOOD COPY CODE#
This release has a digital download code as well as the standard Blu-ray version, in addition to the 4K disc. Sony dives into the deep end with the 4K UHD release of 'The Shallows', which has a HEVC H.265 encode in HDR10 with a 2.39:1 aspect ratio. The discs are housed in a hard, black, plastic case with a cardboard sleeve.

'The Shallows' in 4K UHD comes with a 4K Disc and a Standard 50GB Blu-ray disc, plus the digital download insert from Sony and another insert about 4K UHD. From Nancy’s phone getting internet access on the remote beach in the middle of nowhere, to the seagull that always seems to have the answer, to the ‘ JAWS‘ wink where Nancy tells the shark to go screw itself as she shoots a gun - it all just falls insanely flat and makes you roll your eyes and wish you hadn’t spend 80 minutes watching this movie. It’s quite annoying and everything just gets sillier and dumber all the way up to the final credits of the movie.ĭo I have anything good to say about this movie? Minor things, I guess, including some good use of practical blood effects and a few minor suspenseful scenes with the shark, but that’s about it. Nothing seems to go her way either as she talks to herself or really us, the audience in everything that she does. A few people walk by on the beach, but are attacked and killed by the shark, leaving poor Nancy stranded on the rock.
Well not really by herself, there is a seagull she names Stephen on the rock with her, who was also injured in the shark attack. This is where Nancy stays basically for the duration of the film by herself.
Soon enough, a big killer shark chomps Nancy on the leg, the blood starts flowing, and she swims over to a nearby small rock for safety, which is about 200 yards from the beach. I’m convinced that the writer and director here only had enough material for about twenty minutes of film, but made it in slow-motion to drag it out to just over 80-minutes. Her hair flings back with water, the waves crash down, and some average surfing maneuvers are all shown in slow motion. After a few minutes of this, Nancy is in the water by herself, surfing the big waves, which is when everything become slow motion for the duration of the film. We just miss out on all the supposed beautiful shots and cinematography. The stupid thing about this is that the camera even shows the actual phone screen in frame as well through all of this. She’s being driven through a beautiful part of the forest to get to this amazing paradise view, but you wouldn’t know it, because the director has Nancy texting her friend the whole time, while the screen captions are displayed largely on the screen at all times in real time. It is implied that she dropped out of med school after her mother died of cancer (a horrible side story full of cheese). There’s just so much wrong with this movie, it’s hard to decipher where to begin, but as a charming nun/babysitter said, “Let’s start at the very beginning.” We first meet Nancy (Lively) as she is being driven to a remote beach to surf while she is on vacation. Blake Lively, who plays a young woman named Nancy, does a decent enough job with the material she’s given, but after reading the screenplay, I would have walked far away from this film and never looked back, even if I got to go to Australia for a few weeks and film.
It’s poorly written, poorly shot, and doesn’t make a lick of sense. It’s terrible filmmaking on just about every level. After sleeping on it for a night, this film might be one of the worst and silliest films to come out this year. It takes the audience out of the moment, as is the horrid case with the new killer shark movie ‘The Shallows‘. Note to filmmakers: When you make a movie, DON’T use slow motion for over 80% of your film, especially in the horror/thriller genre.
