Into The Blue

Fun Finding Treasure, April 26, 2006

One truly great thing about this movie is that it is not in the least pretentious, overblown, pompous, puffed up, or heavy handed. Neither does it hit you over the head with an overload of CGI and special effects nor wallow in personal issues like so many film today.

This movie is basically a swimming trunks and bikini action adventure flick. so, if want some good shots of Jessica Alba (Sam) in a bikini swimming – this movie is for you.

But there is more to “Into the Blue” than that. And it is not a teenager kind of film (i don’t think there is one teenager in it, although ofcourse they may enjoy it like anybody else). Jessica Alba was probably about 23 years old when she was making the movie – and Paul Walker (Jared) was at least 31.

i’m not going into basic plot details (that has been done by others here) – just some fun observations.

Sam has a kissy-kissy ralationship with boyfriend Jared. in the first half of the film this actually becomes a turn off – it was funny when one of the characters actually tells them to basically ‘knock it off ‘ when they start in on one of their run-of-the-mill kissing scenes. one thing more about turn-offs in the movie, *(SPOILER – WITHOUT TELLING YOU WHO OR HOW)* when one of the main characters gets seriously injured and dies there is hardly any real or true concern for her life expressed by anyone.

But the film does mangage to finally get into some actual story-telling with some good twists and turns. a bit far-fetched and drawn out near the end but that’s what makes it fun!!.

So for me “Into the Blue” gets 4 stars; it has a good moral to it – about the real treasure found in one’s own heart, it had good nature photograghy of the ocean — and it was just plain fun!!

It turned out to be pretty good.

One and only one reason, June 15, 2007

By 

Ryan M. Pikarski “gosu 1337” (Seattle, WA USA) –

  

There is mainly one reason to buy this movie, the action is so/so, the plot is grossly contrived, but the saving grace for this film is in the underwater camera work. By that I am referring exclusively to the way the cameraman follows Jessica Alba around from behind underwater as she swims. There is no nudity, there needs to be no nudity, this is simply a film about the hottest woman in known existences butt. Its super high def Jessica Alba, you’ll be on the slow mo button half the film anyway so I doubt you’ll notice an actual story.
