Scales: Mermaids Are Real

The Is A Family Oriented Movie That The Whole Family Will Enjoy...It Is A Bit Of Unexpected Drama At The End Of The Movie, However It Is Like What Happens To The Wicked Witch..Only Water . I Definitely Recommend This Movie..

I saw the trailer for this movie and couldn't wait to see it. Then, I saw all the bad ratings and I was hesitant to buy it. However, this movie is pretty good. It's a cute KIDS movie. The target audience is children and people who like mermaids/ feel good movies. The people who complained, about the lack of mermaids, clearly weren't paying attention to the movie. SPOILER ALERT (Clears up the movie lore) Half breed mermaids spend 3 years on land and 3 years in the water. They CANNOT control it. They literally have a tail for 3 years and legs for 3 years, starting at age 12. They CANNOT switch back and forth between legs and a tail. The mermaids that live on land are either underage or half breed. Pure bred mermaids AREN'T restricted. They can switch back and forth between a tail and legs. Most of them live in the ocean full time. You have to actually pay attention to their conversations. They slowly explain the mer-lore through dialogue.

This is the most funniest ending movie where the criminal mermaid hunter wets himself to death. The movie isn't a big budget movie. But it's cute and some of the mermaids are beautiful. My favorite part is when the leading little lady "Siren" kills the bad guy without a bullet.

I liked it it’s not going to win an award but this movie is meant for kids i don’t understand why it’s getting bad reviews. It’s a kids movie. I’ve seen this movie twice I like it my granddaughters loved it.

One of the best movies I have ever seen by far, great acting and superb special effects. It was action packed, suspenseful, and even had a comedic relief. The acting in this movie was 10/10. Me and my friend loved watching this movie so much, will watch again in the future! This movie is worth your 4 dollars. By far Jack Dylan Grazers best movie he has ever been in. I definitely recommend watching this with a large group, it will make your night very special.

It's not "Mako Mermaids" or "H2O Just add Water" so don't expect anything like either of those series. For a mermaid movie you don't even see one (in a dream/vision) until about half way through and you don't ever see more than 2 or 3 in the water. The mermaid costume isn't quite up to H2O or Mako standards. The "look" of the movie is pretty good but the plot is slow moving, the story itself isn't so bad. More a "girl's" movie than one for boys ("safe" for the girls to watch, their mothers might get bored). This movie was released July 21…where?, and the website advertised it for sale on Amazon even then. I can't remember how I found out about it (probably by searching imdb or Amazon for other mermaid movies/TV series)… I never saw anything in print or on TV. Although a bit slow going overall "Scales" isn't that bad a movie, better than a lot of the Hollywood "stuff". Don't think there's any cursing, none of the mermaids get harmed (the bad guys want a young mermaid as a cure for a boy), maybe one man is killed (it's quick, not messy, might not even be scary) and I'm not completely sure of that. Don't turn off the movie when the credits start, there's a very quick flash of a couple of mermaids and a merman at the very end. In the comments under one of the earliest reviews someone writes about Morgan Freeman being in it, that would be Morgan Fairchild (there's a little bit of a difference between the two).

The script is loose, the plot has a few holes, the acting is mediocre and l loved the movie. It's a fun movie the family can watch. I understand the poorer ratings but truly enjoyed the movie.

Jack Dylan Grazer what were you thinking? Come back home. Honestly though, this movie is so well made. People say Get Out is good? Get a load of this amazing piece of art. However, Morgan Freeman really stole the show, which made me sad that he got more attention than the wonderful child actors. The camera work is incredible. Wes Anderson level. Patrice Lucien Cochet did such a great job with all of the shots. Not one moment in the movie was I disappointed by these shots. Amanda Lee Jacoby was a brilliant casting director. She really knew who Siren Phillips was, and casting Emmy Perry was the best choice for her. Also, Adam Wilts must have been a hard person to cast, but Jack Dylan Grazer was really a smart person for this role. He is such a talented actor. One of my favorite lines in the movie is, "Wait, so you're staying?". The way he delivered, blinked after, and then his slight head turn was such a great moment in the movie. I bursted out in tears. Matt McGowin did such a great job using that boom. I could really hear all of Jack Dylan Grazer's beautiful speech tones, and Matt was so great when using it. Bryce Marraro was such an extraordinary best boy grip. It really showed on camera. George Penis was such a good safety diver.

Most boring story of all time

Did not like. Was not the DVD I was looking for.

I love this film. Brilliant story and costumes. And top marks story line. About a girl who Discovers her family are mermaids and tries to stay away from mermaid hunters who Want to use their blood powers

I like meremaids, but this was so badly produced I can't even fathem. Now this stars Elisabeth Rohm? If you want to se her skills, watch "ANGEL"
