I've to say I bought this purely to look at Ms Jessica Alba. Yes, she is gorgeous, isn't she? I discovered that the movie isn't too bad either. The plot is average, but the action (esp the underwater stuffs) was good even for a non-diver like myself.
The picture quality of this Bluray is very nice... the water, the sea, etc, all showed beautifully in Bluray.
Worth a buy.

One of my favorite dive movies
Added 7/12/2009
I love movies set on the beach, on the ocean and under the ocean. This is one of my favorite movies revolving around diving and it is set in one of my favorite places in the world: Nassau, Bahamas. There is a lot of diving, the main characters are hot and there's lots of bikini shots. They get entangled with a drug dealer and there lazy island lifestyle turns into a fight for their lives. Not everyone survives.

Jessica Alba is hot, hot, hot, but there is no plot, plot, plot?
Added 7/1/2009
The movie seems like a Hollywood sex-ployation of Jessica Alba
than a real underwater treasure hunting film.
We learn one thing about how to blow sand off a wreck using massive watter blowers, but the rest is a pretty bad drug based plot
that gets a lot of people killed by people and sharks.
I actually disliked this film after being a long time fan of underwater films from John Wayne on(John Wayne when he played in the movie "Reap the wild wind". The movie was made in 1941 by the famous film director Cecil. B. Demille.)

What a surprise!
Added 5/17/2009
Okay, I admit it. I rented this movie for Jessica Alba in a bikini. What I got, in addition to Ms. Alba's fine form, was a pretty entertaining story. It was nothing earth-shaking, mind you, it's kind of an updated version of The Deep which had Jacklyn(sic) Bisset in a very memorable scene involving a wet tee shirt.
The film was beautifully shot, making me want to strap on a pair of fins and a face mask and jump into the water. I doubt very much that the East River would provide anything close to gorgeous dive scenes in the movie.
There's not a lot of heavy lifting in the acting department, but the cast does a fine job. Scott Caan in particular plays his yuppie, scumbag, bottom-feeding lawyer role to the hilt.
Overall, this is a good popcorn movie I would not hesitate to reccomend to others.

Into the Blue was nicely done!
Added 4/18/2009
Into the Blue was not a disappointment. The best part about INTO THE BLUE was the direction. Seriously. There were actually some scenes that looked like Walker and Alba maybe just learned their lines THAT DAY. Other scenes seemed smoother, but you could actually tell that the actors were not familiar with the material and the dialogue seemed stilted and like... well... being an actor myself... it seemed like they were struggling to remember what they had to say as they were talking.
Otherwise... the movie was actually really good and I credit the director, John Stockwell, who is also known for acting stints in Top Gun, Christine & My Science Project. FOR ONCE!! A DIRECTOR TREATED US LIKE WE ARE INTELLIGENT BEINGS AND DIDN'T CHEAT US! No, movies most important job isn't to inform, but they are supposed to be realistic. After watching INTO THE BLUE, I had a better understanding of the DIVE trade and it was completely necessary to move the movie along.
Stockwell did his homework. He cared about the audience and cared that they know what was going on. He didn't preach or bog the story down with diving lessons, he made diving and what they had to do part of the story.
Stockwell shot a beautiful movie with wonderful underwater scenes that are engrossing and sharp. Not to mention, necessary story movers.
Not only did he deliver the goods with the diving scenes, he delivered with a sharp story about modern day ocean pirates, club life, drug life and WHAT TRULY MAKES A person successful? Is it money? or is it Love?
You know what. I hope Hollywood stops giving these great idea movies to the Emmerichs and Bays of the worlds and starts giving more of these movies to people like Stockwell. Directors that don't insult our intelligence, do their homework and understand that movies have to be more than just an explosion here and there. It has to be sensible. Fine job and I'm looking forward to owning this one on DVD.
