Stupid kid drowns and wins Darwin award

Rating: 7/10 (28 September 2009)

The photography was great but the plot, directing really was horrible. And this coming from me, a person whose done over 100+ scuba dives and has a desire to dive down to the bottom of the Marianas Trench, 10,000m under the sea (and not return).
1. Can someone tell me why the kid and the Uncle didn't attempt to pull out the dad at the start of the film? He was only in about 10m of water for crying out loud. They let him plunge to his death for no apparent reason other than to create a silly melodrama.
2. The Uncle should have pulled the dive rope and hauled back the father asap when trouble occurred but he didn't. Why? 3. It seems all the characters, esp the lead character, are morons.
4. The female lead is also a moron, sacrificing her job and career to go chase after a pretty boy idiot she barely knows.
5. Morons and diving don't mix. And worse, they endanger the lives of the rest of the dive team. There's a scene where the divers are drinking alcohol before doing deep sea work. Its not funny. If they get into trouble - other people have to risk their lives to pull them out.
6. This is the best part - when Enzo fails in his dive attempt and is pulled out of the water - the moron scientist pushes away the rest of the crew including the medics who are trying to render first aid to Enzo. WTF??? 7. This is the second best part - when the lead character learns that his lover is pregnant with his child and wants him to marry him etc.. - the fool dives into the bottom of the sea to swim with a dolphin and dies. Father fail. Partner fail. Human fail.
8. This film is very long and boring - and normally I like long boring films.
