    It's the Abyss meets Alien

    Kristen Stewart plays the heroine in this moderate budgeted film that takes place underwater during a massive weird earthquake that is devouring the world she and her friends live in. It's not as scary as is it given its family friendly PG-13 rating but its a decent rental.

    Alien-esque

    Film patina, look, story and feel was just like Alien in many regards. Including an escape the creatures in bathing suit sequence that must have been a Sigourney Weaver underwear homage. Deep space traded for deep water. But somehow deep water movies are more terrifying than space movies because the obligatory flood scenes add to the terror. Enjoyed it all the same.

    Well crafted B-movie fun

    It may be damning with faint praise, but it's better than I thought it would be. If you love sci-fi/fantasy/action genre films and don't go in expecting a masterpiece, you could have a good time. What it lacks in originality it makes up for in craft. It looks great, has fine actors doing good work, and nice production design. Kristen Stewart shows she has the chops to carry a movie, even without a stellar story, and it delivers enough good action and tension to make up for its shortcomings.

    Good movie, not sure why there is so much negativity.

    Agreed, no character development but they did get straight into the action, from start to finish.

    There was some minor, trivial things that irritated me, for sure, but undeserved of the poopy ratings.

    I was entertained, which is the purpose for watching any movie. Armchair critics can go for a swim in the Mariana Trench. This movie was good.

    I don't get the haters

    It's a very suspenseful movie, with a great ambiance. The acting is fine and they are able to make you feel what they feel. Mission accomplished on that matter. No, it's not an all time great movie, but it's a very well executed horror movie. It's unique and it's riskfull in these main stream times. It feels like a 90's movie concept, which I love and it's more comparable to Alien in it's style. Don't compare it to the abyss, this is something quite different.

    • Quotes

      Norah Price: There are things will happen and make you feel powerless, and make you feel insignificant, but that's it. There are just feelings. and sometimes you have to stop feeling, and start doing.

    • Crazy credits
      Just before the ending credits begin a news appears on the screen about the two survivors of the accident and a date is written on top "Sunday, August 7, 2050" which means the film is set in the year 2050. later on as the news continues another date is also visible "August 12, 2050".
