Deep below the bottom of
the ocean lies something never seen before and it’s not good for those who find
it. It’s the movie ‘Underwater’. Let’s talk about it!
Kristen Stewart stars as Norah Price, a mechanical engineer
for Tian Industries whose underwater drilling of the Mariana Trench in the
Pacific Ocean creates danger.
The underwater station that she and a crew work within suffers a damaging breach from the water pressure.
While trying to survive they cross paths with an aquatic creature that
picks them off one by one.
‘Underwater’ was a late release for 20th Century
Fox studios, so I went in with lowered expectations. In some ways it didn’t
disappoint. However, it turned out to be a decent horror survival film that
would have been much better if its similarities to the movie ‘Alien’ weren’t
obvious.
That aside, the atmosphere, visuals and creature
effects were pretty good.
If there’s a sequel with a more original premise, I wouldn’t mind coming
back to this world.
