Since that time there have been few movies with sharks that have been anywhere close to good. Open Water is one of those few that made it. Not just because of sharks, mind you. The story realizes the isolation aspect that helped make Jaws such a classic, because even though they were on that boat, they were alone out there against the shark. Same applies here with Open Water with many sharks, not Great Whites, but real ones at that! The story is pretty straight-forward and true to life as a married couple take a much needed vacation to get away from work and try to fix their troubled marriage. All is pretty much normal until the crew mistakenly thinks that everyone has returned from their diving trip to the underwater reef. Dan and Susan accidentally left behind in the middle of the ocean, alone. Now some of you may not be able to relate to that if you have never been to, and in, the ocean, but this film plays on the primal fears of being alone against impossible odds, something that it has in common with the ultimate shark movie Jaws. Also, this film s story plays with your mind to a pretty high degree and needs a level of imagination from the viewer much in the same vein as the classic John Carpenter film Halloween or the more recent The Blair Witch Project. While this story does not contain the level of action of even those films, it is a very intense ride on a very strong wave. Open Water also benefits from focusing on two main characters so it is easy to develop the pair and grow to care for the characters, which makes what happens during the film that much more of an emotional torment. Actors Blanchard Ryan and Daniel Travis do a magnificent job of playing a married couple on the rocks, troubled because of too much work and too little time together. Each plays up nuances that makes them rather believable as a married couple. Namely, you get the sense from Blanchard that there is trouble lying underneath the surface of the marriage. A bedroom scene, before the main story on the water, shows her troubled inner feelings as she rejects her husband. Easy to relate to and very believable was her performance, the one aspect missing is why their marriage is troubled, is it too much work which is hinted at when Daniel is annoyed with Susan s constant checking up on work, but this is one aspect that should have been touched upon more in the movie the troubled marriage and why it s so bad. Daniel s performance when finally the frustration of being stranded in the middle of the ocean causes him to scream out in frustration, anger and fear, is very easy to relate to because it s just pure frustration, who hasn t felt that and been angry at someone who did them wrong? These two actors make the movie with their performances, sharks or no sharks, the reason to see the movie is for the two main actors. Now if you don t like a slow, character driven Horror movie in the vein of Halloween or The Blair Witch Project, then this movie is most likely not for you. You also need to have an imagination to enjoy this film because it engages your imagination when the characters are in the water. Every wave could be a shark s fin, signaling imminent danger. Now, in comparison to the sequel Open Water 2: Adrift, this movie will definitely scare you, whereas the sequel tells more of a story with it s characters, this one basically puts you in their shoes as much of it is filmed at wave level like Jaws did so you can almost feel the seawater go into your mouth. The Blu-ray is an excellent upgrade from the DVD release which I happen to own. Colors are vibrant with real flesh tones and the wetsuits look nice with Blanchard s purple standing out. Water looks very real with choppy dark waves, and the underwater scenes are pretty much crystal clear. Sounds are improved over the DVD release with 1 HD DTS audio I can hear the waves much better, but with subtle lapping that is constant and not overwhelming though it could make you seasick. Packaging both movies on one disc is kind of cool because you don t have to get up to switch Blu-ray discs, though for hardcore Blu-ray fanatics who want perfection this will annoy most of that small, but vocal, crowd. Ultimately, Open Water is a good movie, not great by any means and some will be put off if they lack imagination to bring to the table. Make no mistake this movie won t appeal to everyone, but if you typically like this kind of film I don t see any reason why you shouldn t like this. I loved the movie If you have yet to see the film I highly recommend a rental first, but for those who saw and liked this film and even own the DVD release this is a pretty good upgrade with extras and also includes Open Water 2: Adrift. Must-buy for those who liked and loved the film! Alternative title that fits my puns: A big dango family finally returns home in BD! Immediately following the final episode of Clannad in the spring of 2008, a television commercial aired announcing that the sequel, Clannad After Story, was in production. It would air in the fall of that year and spawn many fans both domestically in Japan as well as internationally. It has been hailed as one of the best anime series of all time by fans and is often cited as how dramatic shows can be. Due to the success of the format, the original series was released on Blu-Ray by Pony Canyon in April 20 Now the sequel has finally been released to complete the KeyAni trilogy on Blu-Ray. This is the very expensive Clannad After Story Blu-Ray box. Warning! This review WILL contain spoilers for the show as well as a bunch of thumbnailed/small images. As with the first box, the set comes in a newly illustrated binder inside a patterned hardcovered box. While the theme for the original series was sakura petals, After Story is focused on rapeseed flowers similar to the backgrounds in the regular edition DVD covers. The inner binder has the Okazaki/Furakawa family and friends preparing for a trip to somewhere with water, likely the Okazaki family home in the northern part of Japan. Each disc contains images of two major characters for the episodes on that disc Sanae and Mei, Misae and Yukine, Tomoya and Nagisa, Ushio and Fuko, and the Fujibayashi sisters on the yellow rapeseed background. Included with the box is a special page booklet that has the translated opening and ending credits for each episode from Sentai Filmworks. One mistake was made to transpose episodes 24 and 25 as they were on Sentai s releases of the series in North America. I imagine that Pony Canyon did not reference the episodes with the text.
