Apparently, they didn't dare to leave it in metres.The Swollen Goiter of God wrote: ↑June 16th, 2017, 2:32 pm 47 Meters Down comes out this weekend in the US. I don't see a UK release date on IMDb, which is strange, since it claims to be a UK production.
I'm sorta surprised they'd dare to leave the title in metric for the US release.

I haven't showed the trailer to the spousal unit yet. I don't want his head to explode.

Re: Dalty's Sea Monster Movie Aquarium
It's OK. 50m is when the air turns toxic and kills you on the normal stuff. Of course, even at "only" 47m and breathing at "Panic" rate they would have something like 8mins bottom time and still need to do a 10m / 3m safety stop PLUS a controlled ascent to get to that stop all in waters teeming with Great Whites....... but it is just a movie!
"Two girls do perfectly safe scuba dive, following all the rules, and don't get eaten" would be one hell of a boring movie.
I once went accidentally down to about 42m on normal air when 30m is supposed to be casual limit. Was down there for less than 20secs before I realised I had fucked up. Then got buzzed by a hammerhead scout on the way back up.

You don't understand the level of un-disbelief I have to deal with. After "Wonder Woman," he bitched about the use of a town in Belgium, instead of a place more appropriate to the year, as well as the "stupid" revision of the real German general. All that for a movie he actually liked.
A movie about diving, his $$$$ pit, has no room for error.

Re: Dalty's Sea Monster Movie Aquarium
You should take him to see the movie, but after the trailers excuse yourself to go to the toilet and just go to the bar across the street, then when he comes out ask for his blow-by-blow review.

I saw it. It was pretty damned goofy.

Re: Dalty's Sea Monster Movie Aquarium
I asked him if he'd heard of the movie. He said, "Uncontrolled dive 150 feet down, you're dead in three minutes. Movie over." So I don't think we're seeing it.

A lot of mouth to shut up.
