Overview

When they take some friends on an extreme sport adventure, the last thing Jared and Sam expect to see below the shark-infested waters is a legendary pirate ship rumored to contain millions of dollars in gold. But their good fortune is short-lived, as a ruthless gang of criminals gets word of what they have uncovered.

Any potential guilty pleasure is washed away in a sea of icky sermonizing.

Matt Singer, Village Voice
Rotten

I don't think there's anything wrong with an escapist adventure, but if you're rolling your eyes in disbelief at the plot and the dialogue, it makes it hard to enjoy the scenery.

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten

Though marketed as brain-dead youth fodder, it's even worse than it looks.

Nathan Rabin, AV Club
Rotten

It takes Stockwell forever to get these details into place, because he's primarily concerned with Caribbean and bikini-clad eye candy. But even that loses its novelty in a ridiculous showcase like this.

Tom Keogh, Seattle Times

The makers of Into the Blue know what the audience wants. And they deliver a little bit more.

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
