Review of Underwater

Underwater (2020)
8/10
Alien meets Deep Star Six Meets Cloverfield
21 January 2021
For reasons unknown, there is a disaster at the bottom of the Marianna trench. Thought to be an earthquake, it sets into motion a disaster that causes the survivors of a drilling team to have to evacuate the station. Faced with a nuclear core meltdown, they contrive a plan to walk a mile across the ocean floor to the actual drill. Along the way they are besieged by something that wants them for lunch.

I have never liked Kristen Stewart. I think that she is a terrible actress, but in this, I liked her. This movie has elements of Alien, Deep Star Six and Cloverfield, all wrapped up and tied together into a tense and thrilling movie. I like this a lot more than anticipated. The writing is good, the cinematography is excellent and the music lends to the creepy nature of what we are watching. I am a huge horror/sci-fy fan and this satisfied both genres. Good movie here.
