Open Water

I just watched the movie Open Water, about two divers who are accidentally abandoned in the middle of the ocean. I liked that all the animals, including sharks, that they used were real, but one scene was unintentionally hilarious because of it. The two are drifting along and suddenly are stung by jellyfish. 'Ow' they say. 'That really hurts', etc. to indicate severe pain. Quick cut to the jellyfish... ominous music playing... cut to an even more dramatic angle of the jelly... now it's a swarm of them, oh no.

Unfortunately the jellyfish in question was a moon jelly, which is completely harmless. They capture their prey with sticky slime, and it's pretty remarkable if their tentacles are even an inch long. Moon jellies are about as intimidating as a rabbit and are honestly not nearly as dangerous. I've reached my entire arm in tanks holding 500-1000 of them and never felt anything but slimy. This afternoon, I grabbed two large ones out of the harbor, chopped them up, and fed them to some Chrysaoras (a kind that would definitely warrant the reaction seen in the film).

So basically, what I'm saying is it jarred me out of the movie a bit.
