I watched this because my flatmate had it on and I became intrigued as to how this woman was going to get away from the shark, because it was blatantly obvious she wasn't going to die, so I sat there and watched it all. Turns out I shouldn't have bothered. What tosh!
A woman goes surfing and gets attacked by a shark, she then ends up on a rock and with high tide approaching she has to figure out a way to get off her little rock and back to safety.
The biggest thing that annoyed me was continuity, or lack of. One minute she looks severely dehydrated but then in the next shot she looks absolutely fine... oh, wait... she's dehydrated again! This happens continuously throughout. Another annoyance, which other reviewers have mentioned, is her super human strength! She has a huge gash on her leg and was losing a lot of blood, she had multiple cuts and grazes, gangrene on the gashed leg, several smacks in the arms, legs, face, no water, no food, and no sun lotion!! Yet somehow none of this seemed to affect her and she could still swim (faster than a shark I might add) climb, kick, and flail her arms about at anyone she saw on the shore. Now if that were any normal human being we'd be passed out from blood loss and exhausted from having had no food, water and too much sun!
Overall I really bad movie that wasn't scary, suspended disbelief and continuity errors throughout.
The only redeeming feature was the bird who kept her company.

Absolutely bloody fantastic! The photography is amazing, the location is breathtaking, Blake Lively's performance is incredible and the entire production is fantastic! Nerve-wreckingly suspenseful and brilliant! The scenery is great and wonderfully photographed, so its best viewed on Blu Ray.
