Good, but not great
Beneath the Blue was a good, clean, family movie. The underwater filming was great and as someone who knows of a teen who died of a blackout I appreciated the warning about free diving.
I rented this movie because I volunteer a lot with ocean conservation efforts. Apparently this is a sequel to "Eye of the Dolphin" which I will watch soon to better understand some of the character backgrounds. There were definitely a few moments when I felt like the third person left out of insider information. But, overall, I enjoyed meeting the characters and thought all the acting was well done. Some of the lines made me roll my eyes, but I assume the target audience is young teens. I did wish some of the scenes between Alyssa and Craig would have been longer to flesh out their attraction to each other (I wanted to know what was going on in their heads more). Also, I had no idea how old Alyssa and Craig were supposed to be... originally I thought teenagers, but Craig is in military and...
Good Clean Fun
My younger daughters watched this and loved it. They are in their younger teens. No inappropriate themes or language. The movie seems to be (among other things) about choices and the fall out of those choices.
It was just okay
It isn't anything earthshattering, but it was mildly entertaining. It almost seemed like it was an after school movie or something like that.
