Awesome movie
One of the most Exciting, thrilling, action movies you can ever imagine. Im still thrilled after seeing this movie quite a few times. You will be sitting on the edge of your seat, loaded with Action. Cudoes to the Actors and actresses who were in this film, and made me BELIEVE in the moment, and cheer them ALL ON. A gem of a film, that was probably inderated. 🩷

a better movie than it should've been
It delivers the claustrophobia and the urgency extremely well. Excellent cast, and good writing. It stuck the ending, though. The last few minutes took a star off of my rating for it. -- It's still good, though, and it's not only worth renting. It's worth purchasing and adding to your physical media collection. 4/5. Well recommended.

A surprisingly decent horror flick
Underwater is nothing special. If you've seen Alien, The Thing, or literally any other horror film, then you'll find nothing new here. But that said, it's a decent horror film that is entertaining, well-paced, and has interesting-enough characters to keep things from becoming boring. Even the special and physical effects are well done, including the CGI (although that's because a lot of the film is in the dark). It also does a great job making you feel isolated with the characters, whether crawling in small places or being out in the abyss of the trench.The one massive positive I can give this film is that it introduces a rather well-known 'character' to live-action for the very first time. Well, maybe live-action is a bit much as this character is done in CGI, but it still counts. I won't spoil it here, just go watch it to find out for yourself.I also want to give credit to Kristen Stewart for her performance in this film. Yeah, I don't like the Twilight films or the impact they've had on culture, but Stewart proved that she does have acting ability in this film and got me to like her character. I hope it leads to more roles for her in the future.There are problems with the film, but I can't think of any worth addressing here. I recommend this film if you are looking for something to watch, especially for Halloween."7/10" and a "Recommendation"

Pure Action-Adventure Sci-fi!
If you like “Alien” (any of them), “Sphere” (the underrated classic with Sharon Stone), "Godzilla", or “Cloverfield”, you will absolutely love this movie.And you know why I give it 5 stars (because I can feel the film purists on my trail) – because this movie GOES THERE. I don’t know why science fiction films have been pushed to the side in the past decade or more (“Life” is another one, with Ryan Reynolds, that disappeared from theaters but was excellent) – probably wrong focus groups – but this is one that actually deserved attention.Right from the get-go, the film takes off with something causing an underwater oil rig to fall apart. We don’t have time to get to know the characters and their each little nuances – no one has that kind of time – and the film knows this and so it just…well…starts.Characters get their individuality later – and that’s completely fine.And let’s be honest – you might be hesitant because, well, Bella…or Kristen Stewart (however you feel about either one, fictional and real). But, I wouldn’t let that deter you. Where there was Stewart constantly out of breath and just a little aloof in other movies, it works here as she’s an engineer who basically is the new Ripley for 2020’s “Alien” cousin (right down to an ending of running in underwear) trying to make sure everyone gets to escape pods while battling and escaping underwater sea creatures that threaten to destroy them as it did the oil rig.That’s the other part of “Underwater” getting 5 stars, which is that it shows you the monster. Sure, there are jump scares and the scary music, and I would lower the volume or watch with the sound off unless you’re into that sort of thing, but this movie looks expensive. It’s not like those direct-to-video things you see on the Syfy channel (no offense, Syfy, you know we’re cool) - this one actually took time to make the creatures, show them to you, and then scare you with them (it’s like a cooler ‘Annihilation’).This film is also very claustrophobic – so beware. Not only are they fighting for their lives underwater, they’re also crawling through tight spaces and then facing challenge after challenge in gear that almost looks like space suits.And, really, that’s what “Underwater” is. It’s a space movie... in water.But, like I say, it jumps right in and I’m grateful. Movies today, it’s like “Let me show you 15 minutes of setting” then “Let me show you 20 minutes of people staring at nothing or each other” to “Oh, I forgot, we have a plot, here’s the last hour”.“Underwater” starts off with a bang, literally, and pretty much doesn’t let up. And for that, I’m thankful.Thank you for not wasting my time as a viewer. Thank you for showing the monsters in detail ("Godzilla: King of the Monsters" fans will feel the love in this movie). Thank you for spending money on this film. Thanks for a film to watch to pass a lazy Saturday.5 stars.

An Ode to The Call of Cthulhu
Let me break it down for you.1. The Tian Company are the Cult in the book trying to release Cthulhu.2. The movie characters are the human sacrifices.3. The spider in the sink is Cthulhu in R'yleh being let out.4. The depression and insanity people are experiencing from being underwater for so long is the insanity that Cthulhu brings.5. The humanoid monsters are The Deep Ones.6. That quick clip of an octopus looking thing is Cthylla, Cthulhu's daughter.7. Tian has let the Deep Ones out before and they attacked the miners in the past as shown by the mural, the abandoned first drill, Caps locker, and the news paper clippings in the begining. As well as the look on Caps face when he stayed behind.8. Captain stayed back because he knew Cthulhu/The Deep Ones are destroying all the escape capsules. "23 have launched" but the only two survivors were the two at the end. It even shows the Deep Ones going after the escape pods as they did in the begining of the film.9. TJ Miller is/has gone insane as he acts like his stuffed rabbit is real. Cap goes crazy because he can't tell how old his dead daughter is. Kristen Stewart even states at the begining that she is going a little crazy. All because of Cthulhu. Emily is going crazy the whole time, and Smith is so out of it he just doesn't know what's going on to go crazy.

Para los fans del género de monstruos marinos.
Desde que la vi en cines me mega encanto, aunque al igual que otros cinefilos, opino que por momentos hay escenas muy oscuras donde no se sabe qué está pasando. Pero es entretenida de principio a fin, además Kristen luce guapísima.Un sub género de terror que me encanta: monstruos marinos.Es muy de la línea de Deep Star Six de Sean S. Cunningham aunque sin gore.El Blu-ray+Digital Copy tiene audio en inglés y español, y subtítulo en español.

se siete amanti del genere ve lo consiglio vivamente, ha l' audio in Italiano
la pellicola non ha riscosso molto successo e non è stata pubblicizzata, però se siete amanti del genere vi consiglio di comprare il bluray e metterlo in collezione vicino ai vari Alien e l' ottimo Life, considerando che da moltissimi anni non viene girato un lungometraggio dove si possono ammirare mostri marini ispirati a quelli di Lovercraft, ricreati peraltro molto bene.Il film è claustrofobico e opprimente, molto immersivo, merito anche di un audio in DTS davvero potente con bassi ben presenti in moltissime scene.Sul versante tecnico abbiamo un ottimo video, sempre pulito e nitido anche nelle scene più buie, l' audio pur non essendo in Hd l' ho trovato di buona fattura e con un volume decisamente alto.
