Into The Blue movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: Somewhat silly but reasonably entertaining. Read more
Allison Benedikt, Chicago Tribune: Mad props to Peter Zuccarini, who headed the team of ocean-bound photographers and captured some remarkably vivid footage, and also to the actors, who spend plenty of time looking cool, calm and collected swimming with the predatory fishes. Read more
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times: It takes Stockwell forever to get these details into place, because he's primarily concerned with Caribbean and bikini-clad eye candy. But even that loses its novelty in a ridiculous showcase like this. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: I don't think there's anything wrong with an escapist adventure, but if you're rolling your eyes in disbelief at the plot and the dialogue, it makes it hard to enjoy the scenery. Read more
Bob Longino, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: It's almost campy enough to be worthy. Except it's not. Read more
Nathan Rabin, AV Club: Though marketed as brain-dead youth fodder, it's even worse than it looks. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: My theory is that Jared is Aquaman, and he's probing the ocean with his mental powers, looking for intelligent life. Which is why he never finds the screenwriter down there. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: The most improbable of movies, a comic thriller set in the Bahamas in which Walker and Alba bare enough flesh to seduce us into thinking they've bared pieces of their souls. Read more
Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times: Whom do you root for when everyone is sleazy? Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: Some movies are train wrecks. This one is chum. Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: Manages to create a winning Caribbean vibe that stretches into a fun popcorn flick. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Walker is supposed to be lured by the buried treasure, but the actor, wearing Brad Pitt's bristle cut, is like Pitt with his sexy appetite sucked out. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: In its favor, the treasure-hunt adventure has some modestly good underwater scenes, complete with interesting fish. Still, a trip to the aquarium would probably be livelier. Read more
John Patterson, L.A. Weekly: Some narrative economy could have shaved 20 minutes off the film's slackly paced two hours and brought us sooner to its memorably frenetic underwater climax -- a payoff that's finally too little, too late to save the movie. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: The actors swim well, but emote poorly. Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: An enjoyable, gorgeously photographed aquatic adventure whose stars are blissfully bodacious. Read more
Manohla Dargis, New York Times: A soggy adventure best suited to DVD-rental desperation. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Alba? We'd follow her anywhere, especially Into the Blue. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Alba is bad, but her co-stars are worse. Stockwell can't get a decent performance out of any of them. Even the sharks seem to be hamming it up. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: The movie is written, acted and directed as a story, not as an exercise in mindless kinetic energy. Read more
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: The makers of Into the Blue know what the audience wants. And they deliver a little bit more. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: It is an extraordinary cinematic achievement to take a story combining pirate treasure, drug runners, killer sharks, an airplane crash, car chases and Jessica Alba in a bikini, and turn it into an exercise in tedium. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: This one tells a hoary tale of Caribbean salvage operators dedicated to hunting sunken treasure on the ocean floor. But the true salvager is the guy behind the camera. John Stockwell has already flashed his talent for rescuing B-material. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: There is nothing about Into the Blue that is going to arouse anything above the waistline, but director Stockwell makes a fair show of it. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: Too long at 110 minutes, the movie gets a lot more complicated with its array of peripheral characters. But it's never very deep on characterizations. Read more
Matt Singer, Village Voice: Any potential guilty pleasure is washed away in a sea of icky sermonizing. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: Into the Blue may look good cavorting prettily on deck, but ultimately it deserves to walk the plank. Read more
