And when the severity of the problem surfaces, what do you do? Are you the leader, the thinker, the whiner or the quitter? When everything is fine and dandy, everyone knows how to enjoy to the max.

Until they decide to go swimming in the sea, did they realize that hey, did someone lower the ladder on board? Otherwise, how are they going to get back to the deck? It's down to the adage of looking before you leap, and that danger lurks when you're enjoying yourself so much, that common sense, precautions and safety get thrown in the wind. They go on a weekend cruise on a luxurious yacht, and it's party, party, party, enjoying the finer things in life. The setup is simple and we waste no time in being introduced to our characters, almost all of whom are high school friends, and gathered together to celebrate one of their 30th birthday. Each cast member have certain strengths, and some just have total negativity built into them, for contrast purposes. And having to bump up the number of those in trouble, allows for different views and types of people (read: caricatures at times) to be showcased. Adrift though seemed decent enough, with human nature for self-preservation portrayed so starkly on screen, it's scary. But I can't judge which is better, having not watched the original. The formula is now repeated in Open Water 2: Adrift (just called Adrift here probably to disassociate itself from being a 'sequel of sorts' movie), with the number of couples increased threefold. The original Open Water had a couple stranded in the high seas when they went deep sea diving, and somehow missed the boat, literally, thereby being stranded in the middle of nowhere. Apparently the yacht is not anchored, therefore while in the storm it should have moved adrift to another location. With regard to the conclusion, my interpretation is that Amy brought the dead body of Dan onboard and she is catatonic, in absolute state of shock with the whole situation. Further, there is no captain of experienced crew on board. The explanation for the stupid attitude of Dan is given after the death of his friends, when he confesses that he does not own the yacht. The story explores first how an inconsequential act may cause the death of people further, how fragile the human beings are under stress and in constant fear, leading them to panic and to self-destruction. The direction and the acting are superb, and the good screenplay has an ambiguous and confused conclusion.

'Open Water 2 Adrift' is another great movie about surviving in the ocean.

With the baby alone in the boat and stranded in the open sea, they panic and their desperation lead them to a tragic fight for survival. Once in the water, the group realizes that Dan forgot to put the embarkation ladder and the freeboard makes impossible to climb to the main deck the yacht.

Later, the irresponsible Dan pushes Amy overboard, falling with her in a prank. Amy stays in the boat since she has a childhood trauma with ocean and Dan stays with her. Miles away from the shore, Michelle suggest to stop the yacht and swim in the calm water. They are introduced to Dan's girlfriend Michelle (Cameron Richardson) and they drink and recall moments of their past while navigating. Amy (Susan May Pratt), her husband James (Richard Speight Jr.) and their baby Sarah travel to Mexico to sail in the yacht of their reckless friend Dan (Eric Dane) with their common friends Zach (Niklaus Lange) and Lauren (Ali Hillis) and celebrate the thirtieth birthday of Zach.
