POSITIVES…
Plays off as an entertaining tribute to monster creature suspense thriller flicks like 1979’s “Alien,” and succeeds for the most part.
Right from the first scene, this movie throws you right into the disastrous situation and keeps things moving all the way until the end. I appreciate the story telling efficiency here.
Thriller suspense aspects were rightfully enjoyable enough and constantly adds good tense moments.
Building up to showing us what’s lurking in the corners and the darks was nicely done.
Creature work is good. I liked what I saw there.
I also liked the look of the diving suits. Reminded me of the COG armor in Gears Of War.
Solid performances by Kristen Stewart, Jessica Henwick, Vincent Cassel, and John Gallagher Jr, in this film.
There are some good plot reveals in this movie, but there is one in particular that made me so giddy with excitement.
NEGATIVES…
The story is familiar, the plot is derivative, and the expected cliches do happen. Original this is not.
Trying to apply real science and logic to the premise might just completely kill your suspension of disbelief.
Some of the stupid things characters do…
Although TJ Miller is meant to add levity to this thriller, he just comes off as annoying and kills any scene that he tries to be funny in. He was so not needed for this movie.
P.S….
