Underwater (2020)

Did a movie marathon today.

I don't think I can continue doing marathon in the future.

A spring chicken, I am definitely not.

Back to this movie.

I actually enjoy the first two act.

Very immersive.

The audience gets sucked in and is invested.

I was literally at the edge of my seat.

Then third act came along, it looks like the director seem only interesting is showing Kristen Stewart in her skives...



I am sure there is an audience for that.

I like the technology suggested in this movie (used technology).

Don't think they exist yet (a underwater suit that can withstand 8 tonnes a square inch)

And how they solved the "re-breather" issue and no mention of the bends...

Then again, it is just a movie.

My two sen.

I regret watching this
I was too late to catch another movie
I call it straight to video movie

To each their own.

This movie was made in 2017, and was only released recently

I did enjoy the first 2 act, the 3rd...

Immersive? I beg to differ, ya, each to their own...
Regretted paying 10 bucks and 2 hours wasted, I can't wait for this movie to end, even got the urge to be my first movie to quit watching halfway.
Agreed with some, I would categorise this as a straight to video movie.
Very poor editing, poor execution, poor plot, and worst of all, poor acting
Those love the hard science of deep sea exploration will be cursing throughout the movie, clearly written by someone with almost zero knowledge about deep sea exploration.
I'll re-watch Meg anytime over this crap.
If benchmark over Abyss, Abyss is a 10, this is a 1

It seems like i am a minority of one here...

Always a big fans of deep sea exploration theme of sci-fi films, will definitely check this one out...

And i remember this sort of underwater theme film was dated back to the 90's & late 80's where from The Abyss, Leviathan, Deepstar Six to Sphere...

Almost like 'Alien' (1979)

Epic ending though

If only they make the storyline kinda like 'Aliens' (1986)

More tense.

And everthing is dark...gloomy...



1 hour 30 minutes...wish it was longer.

A long hair brunette Kristen would have been better.

Short hairt blonde...not hnggghhh at all

Boring & typical monster movie.
It doesn't build the suspend enough.
Sometimes things happened fast, then suddenly slow down.
Monster design also meh. It doesn't bring the feel of an aquatic monster.
Underwater in some way looks like Leviathan 1989 movie.
