This movie feels a lot like Jaws even though it has different story line - the essence is the same.
Lots of cliches but if you see it with the mindset that you want to be entertained for couple of hours - go for it, otherwise you will not enjoy it. Nothing spectacular as far as cinematography goes, so don't waste your money on premium screenings. It has few jump scares, also people were eaten (as it should be expected).
The prescreening that I attended was in 3D but besides couple of into your face moments the 3D didn't bring much to the table.
Surprisingly, there were a lot of funny jokes which made the movie more enjoyable.
Fun Fact: Something that I noticed and it bugged me a lot: after the intro of the movie there was a scene with a helicopter flying over the ocean, near cliffs. Whoever added the helicopter digitally was an amateur - the proportions were so bad. You could clearly see the ripples, the waves crushing into the cliff and if you've been near real ocean you can judge how close the camera to them is but the helicopter was so small that it looked the size of a drone when compared to the ocean ripples. They probably wanted to make it look like the helicopter was far in the distance and that the ocean is vast but it was a poor attempt. Reminds me of a stock photo from a reputable site that was a beach and palm trees. I enlarged the ocean water to use as a background (graphic design job) and I saw the pool tiles clearly - someone had stitched the photo. This helicopter was even worse!
