"Waterbourne" had a lot of potential, and it's really a shame that someone with the cash didn't pick it up and make it properly. It deals with the fears and absolute terror that come when one is deprived of one... Full review
I felt this film should have been in more in the realm of a documentary type of film. That delves into the fear from the 911 disaster

okay, the soldiers don't behave at all like those in 28 days later. But there is a dread disease situation, lawlessness, violence, and surprising tenderness. It was a good film and I was touched by the characters' growth. Further, I liked... Full review

The only positive thing about this movie is the sound-track. The music and audio-mixing was superb and saved some of the bad. The camera work wanted to bring us deep inside the characters, but failed at that completely. Bunch of... Full review

But rather than going with the general flow of a typical disaster movie complete with riots and mayhem, "Waterborne" scales the story down to a smaller yet grippingly personal level.
Without the funding needed to create fantastic special effects

Altogether, Rekhi proves that you don't need a huge budget to do a disaster film.
There are a few seemingly clumsy camera cuts within the same scene; the dialogue continues flowing, but the viewer is suddenly seeing the same scene from a different perspective and a later time.

"Waterborne" adapts Irwin Allen disaster movie verities to the intimate and character-based forms of an indie film.
Muxworthy plays all the notes of the film's showiest if most problematic role, and Gries creates a felt model of the citizen soldier.
