Underwater [Blu-Ray]

I am not really a fan of Kristen Stewart and was not expecting too much from this movie. After watching it however it was better than I had expected. The action sequences were well done and the special effects for the most part were as I have come to expect from Hollywood movies today. Overall, I would rate it as a watchable sci fi movie, but nothing more than that.

This film seems to divide opinions, though most viewers rate it 5 stars. Honestly not sure how, or why. I expected a lot more from Director Nolan who has quite a respectable track record. Why did he film almost entirely in darkness, and to add to the mystery, dress his small cast in groesque protective costumes which make it virtually impossible to tell one from another. This was particularly obvious when on a long deep sea walk to another post, one of the cast dies, and it took me 5 mins to find out who!! Then, what was it actually all about?? What were the impossibly hard to see "monsters". Where did they come from? The plot was so simple and yet impenetrable because of the photography. Kristen Stewart does her best as Sigourney Weaver, bu isn't allowed to make much of an impact (she spends quite a time in very brief undies, but even these scenes, are, like all the rest, so badly lit you could hardly tell.) Sorry, but there was nothing about this film that I liked. Bottom line?? Boring! An ego trip for Nolan and the audience suffers (well this horse did.) Sorry 5 starrers, but there it is. (And it's not that cheap either...but read the 5 stars and decide for yourselves)

Great pace from the introduction to the very end. Seemed excellent production values. Cast gave their all. I enjoyed it very much.

It's obvious money has been spent on this film as it looks impressive. The cast are equally good with Kristen Stewart in fine form taking the lead role. However, for me there's just something missing (though I'm not quite sure what!) that would rank it alongside such films as Alien and Abyss. One thing I can say is that despite the terrific action scenes, the necessary depth of tension just wasn't there for me. OK I'm a fan, but maybe if Ridley Scott, Jim Cameron or Steven Spielberg had been at the helm, I truly believe this could have become a classic. Maybe the relatively short running time of 91 minutes, doesn't help as the end feels rushed; it's also a huge disappointment and utterly pointless. Up until this bit, I would happily have given it 4 stars, but the ending just killed the film for me, so it lost another star. I won't be watching it again, which is a shame.

Before the lockdown Coronavirus crisis, I've seen the film at the cinema and it became a cult sci fi entertaining b movie hit! I was lucky to watch it otherwise it will be too late! But thanks to you, I've now got it on dvd and enjoy watching it anytime I like. Cheers!

Not watched the dvd yet but seen the film at cinema I love it I’ve spend months trying too find this film on dvd made my Xmas finding it on Amazon in my opinion worth every penny I know it’s cheaper on Apple TV but I really wanted the dvd too take on holidays with me

If you like Alien you'll love this film. Its a character driven horror thriller with some amazing set pieces. Kristen Stewart is fantastic as the lead giving a great performance

Read mixed reviews of this online but thought I’d give it a shot. Glad I did!
