The Story
Three friends from California are filming an audition tape for an extreme reality show. Their most dangerous stunt is a shark cage dive off the coast of Australia. When it goes badly wrong, they are left in baited water full of great whites, and the camera keeps recording.
Verdict
This is the weakest film in the Open Water series, and the 4.2 on IMDb is about right. The characters are loud and not very likeable, and the script gives them little to do except panic. The found footage idea, though, is a good fit for the subject: cameras in the water, in the cage and on the boat give a few scenes a real sense of panic. It is a film to watch for the format and for the shark scenes, not for the story.
