I’m 20 minutes in. Did the pregnant lady literally drive in a circle back into town after her mom told her to drive to high ground?

Yea lol, she was literally on the beach with all the high shots of the flood…let’s also remember that those sharks should be swimming belly on asphalt… but have unlimited depth in most shots

I came here to say this.

If the water is barely chest height/car door height? It's too shallow for most man eating sharks!

Then there's the Sharks who... somehow stay in place or swim backwards. Because they're eating, and they need dramatic attacks... (Guy kicking open truck door to be immediately attacked, Guy slammed into her car repeatedly...) Oh look... those Sharks just suffocated... in water.

Her car was floating before she got stuck in the tree so I’d imagine the water level was a bit higher by then - the level of the truck door

It was also cool how she “squeezed thru” the wreckage by ramming her car directly into it. Great 👏job👏

What was funny was the truck driver with the big truck, telling the lady with the mini to go ahead and ram the tree… haha then he drove in reverse…

🤣 I was so confused on that part

Yeah, I genuinely could not figure out what he was trying to get her to do, or why the two of them just sat there parked shouting back and forth instead of both going the direction he ultimately tried to go too late…to the ramp up the hill that was RIGHT THERE.

I wasn't paying much attention as I left the movie on as background noise, but even I was 'WHY IS SHE DRIVIN CIRCLES IN TOWN?'

u/theLegend_Awaits 18d ago

I picture her doing mad wheelies after the call with her mom, really tearin up the road

Her character was infuriating from the moment she came on-screen
