I didn't read the introduction carefully before entering the theater, I thought it was a disaster movie with a deeper theme in the big scene, and it would have a sense of technology. After all, the technology is advanced now, and the equipment and detection ships should be very cool. But the first scene is surprising:

In the girls' high school, along with the old-fashioned bullying and being bullied, arrogant characters and cowardly characters appear, a small conflict is arranged. The heroine Mia (white) is deliberately rammed into the swimming pool by her classmates, and she does not dare to come out of the water like a chicken. During the struggle, she happened to meet the step-sister Sasha (black) brought by her stepmother, and refused to admit that she was her sister, so she fled.

At the beginning, there is a conflict, the conflict with the classmates, and the conflict between the later sisters, which is quite interesting. This line is also a potential clue to the whole story. But what I have seen here are the collisions between families. Reorganizing the conflicts in the family will feel like a family ethics film, and I almost thought I went to the wrong studio.

Fortunately, the later episodes went to sharks and underwater exploration. The four girls are youthful and adventurous, driving a big off-road, wearing bikinis, plunged into the Mexican rainforest, and found an adventure place connected to the sea. There is a Mayan ruin on the bottom of the sea here, as well as tombs, which bring mystery to the story. Mia's father came here to explore the ruins, and the diving equipment they found in the expedition was also left by Mia's father and the others. The follow-up episodes basically unfolded underwater. The skeletons that suddenly appeared in the darkness, the big sharks that swam silently behind them, and the sharks that later attacked head-on, were still a little scary. According to the story-telling routine, four girls (two of them are the protagonist, the second is the female second who buried the protagonist's emotional line, and the other two are cannon fodder doomed to die halfway) embark on an adventure and encounter sharks , also died two male assistants who did not show up a few times, overcome potential unknown dangers again and again, and finally reunited with Mia's father.

By the way, in order to make the movie more exciting, from time to time, a great white shark will suddenly appear in the camera with its open mouth showing its fangs. With the sudden music, everyone will be startled. It is the kind of I have to scare you and you have to be me frightened feeling.

Of course, the story goes through one ups and downs and then into another, even bigger ups and downs. Mia's archaeological expert father was eaten by sharks, and the girl who wanted to abandon her teammates and run away was also torn up and eaten by sharks - this modern newspaper is too old-fashioned. Later, another girl, the brightest yellow-skinned girl in the team, also drowned at the bottom of the sea. Only Mia, with the protagonist's halo, and the step sisters who matched her emotional line development survived. Throughout the escape, the sisters help each other and build revolutionary feelings.

In the end, the two encountered an incredible underwater vortex, and the oxygen tank also became more and more tense like a countdown, until the sisters swam out of the sea with their last breath, and finally escaped. Both girls have grown and exercised in the process, become brave, trust and cherish each other.

Not enough, the protagonist has to be taller. So, at the end of the film, they met the shark watching boat that their father had arranged for them to sit on. Under the action of the bait thrown from the boat, the two fell into the shark group again. So the two desperately swam to the boat, but Mia's step sister was dragged into the sea by the shark!

When everyone panicked, Mia picked up the gun, jumped into the sea with radiance, and rescued the sister who didn't recognize her before. Do you think that's enough? At this time, a foreshadowing buried at the beginning of the movie appeared. It was a shark tooth given to Mia by Mia's father. This tooth appeared when Mia was bitten by a shark again, and Mia used it to hurt the shark. , escape from the fish's mouth and return to the boat. Although the father died, the teeth he left saved his daughter's life, which was a foreshadowing of the beginning.

As for Mia, our protagonist, through saving people and self-help, has achieved rapid growth from cowardice to bravery, and established a deep friendship with her sisters. all this.

The whole story has a beginning and an end, is complete, the foreshadowing is also taken care of, and the external dangers and internal challenges are resolved as the story progresses. The price was the deaths of five people - two young male assistants, two girls' school classmates, Mia's archaeological expert dad.

In fact, the plot is a bit untenable. A professional archaeological team, how can two assistants overwhelm so easily? Several girls have been exercising vigorously underwater for a long time. How can their physical strength be so good? Wearing a bikini into the virgin forest, won't you bump into it? And there is almost no love, not even a lot of affection between parents and children, mainly sisterhood. But then again, there are sharks that bite at any time, and there are plots that can make people watch. The scene also chose the Mayan ruins on the seabed, which is enough as a popcorn movie in itself.

It is said to be the screen debut of Stallone's daughter.

It is suitable for middle school students and young people, but elementary school students can't bear the sudden shock. If you want to see big scenes or deep themes or sense of technology or storylines or acting skills, this movie can't be talked about.

Writing skills you can learn:

1. Ambush, the shark tooth that Mia's father gave Mia at first saved Mia's life in the end. Although her father died, this tooth protected her instead of her father. Designing a foreshadowing at the beginning of the story and ending it with it at the end will make the whole story complete.

2. To create tension, the oxygen cylinder shows the number of remaining oxygen like a countdown, and the more you go, the more nervous you are. Props like this are helpful in stories.

3. The combination of internal and external conflicts, internal conflicts with post-sisters and bullying classmates, external conflicts with sharks, let the protagonist Mia experience all aspects of growth.
