Less OTT and more grounded than 2 & 3. Very Enjoyable!


Just finished watching this film for the first time and straight after the first three.

I'll admit I tried to watch it a few months ago and failed to get past 15 minutes of it simply because I wasn't in the mood but I must admit I was pleasantly surprised!

Ok it wasn't perfect but it felt like a return to how the first film felt. Gone was the overblown bizarre visuals that plagued the second and third sequels and it just felt a little more grounded and believable with just a hint of fantasy in the mermaids and not super fantastic things like half sea creature men and massive maelstroms with over long and over the top action scenes at every turn.

It wasn't super exciting or anything but a solid and enjoyable film and anything with ian McShame is a definite plus.
