Underwater (2020)

My rating: 6/10

Basically a throwback to those "Wet Alien" movies that were big for a bit in the 80s and 90s - your The Abysses, your The Spheres, and, at the lower end of the budget, your Deep Stars Six - and for one of those, it's pretty solid, if a bit video game-y at times, what with the steady progression towards bigger, badder fish and the way some of the shots are composed.

Prime Video is developing Seven Wonders, an action-adventure series based on Ben Mezrich’s novel, headlined and executive produced by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star Simu Liu. The project, written by Adam Cozad (The Legend of Tarzan) and to be directed by Justin Lin (S.W.A.T.).

Seven Wonders centers on Dr. Nate Grady (Liu), a brilliant botanist-adventurer who teams up with the slippery international fixer Sloane Seydoux on a breathless race to solve an ancient mystery tied to the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

The crew of the Kepler undersea mining rig knew there would be hardships on their current mission, but nothing prepared them for the terrors they’re about to face. The heart-stopping adventure begins when a devastating earthquake damages the rig, including its communication devices and escape vehicle. Although quick-thinking mechanical engineer Norah Price (Stewart) manages to temporarily stave off imminent disaster, the need to evacuate escalates quickly. Their only hope is to walk across the ocean floor to an abandoned vessel, in hopes that its communication equipment still works. As if their journey isn’t treacherous enough, they begin to sense that they’re not alone in the murky ocean depths.

Underwater (2020)

Underwater is a derivative of several films meaning ultimately, I doubt it'll earn many rewatches. While it lasts, however, it gets key details right. The cast is strong, the pace keeps you invested even as the characters are picked off one at a time and the ending certainly offers something new.

At the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the crew of the Kepler 822 Station is drilling for resources when an earthquake hits. Large sections of the facility collapse. Mechanical engineer Norah Price (Kristen Stewart) and any survivors she encounters make their way to the escape pod bay only to discover none are left. With Captain Lucien (Vincent Cassel) leading them, their only hope is to don pressurized suits and walk across the ocean floor to the nearest station. Unfortunately, something deep underwater has awakened.

Take Alien or The Descent, set it beneath the sea and you’ve got Underwater. At least it's taking notes from the greats. There are not a lot of characters to keep track of, meaning you get to know Norah, Captain Lucien, Paul (T.J. Miller), Emily (Jessica Henpeck), Liam (John Gallagher Jr.), Rodrigo (Mamoudou Athie) and Lee (Gunner Wright) well enough for you to get emotional when the film wants you to be. The actors who take the material seriously help. The nervous levity keeps what’s happening natural. You also see the dread and tension building inside everyone as bad turns to worse and then gets even more dire from there.

At least the picture knows we've seen this before so it has the courtesy of writing characters whose actions are logical. They arm themselves, stay focused on the task at hand and press on even when someone gets bumped off. The danger comes in many forms in Underwater. Drowning, the immense pressure of the outside, the collapsing structure and debris that accompanies it, and the creatures that lurk in the dark.

The monsters are where the film is at its weakest. More often than not, they appear suddenly and are accompanied by loud noises or roars (not sure how or why an underwater creature would communicate verbally). Sometimes it feels earned. In complete darkness, the only time you'd see the beasts coming is when they're right in front of you but there are many times when you’ll find yourself resenting the picture for using cheap tactics. At least the creature designs are pretty cool. We see too much of them and considering how many toys the movie has to play with, they’re in it too much but just when you think Underwater has gone bankrupt, it hits you with a gonzo ending. I like getting surprised.

I wouldn’t call Underwater a knockoff of other, better-known claustrophobic sci-fi horrors (even though it kinda is); I’d call it a one-time substitute. If you like the setup and premise or you like Kristen Stewart - she's reliable - I'll give it a minor recommendation. (Theatrical version on the big screen, January 11, 2020)

I'm sure we'll get our usual crop of bad January movies soon enough, but for the time being, 2020 seems off to a pretty good start. Here's my review for Underwater!

You know that scene in “Fast & Furious 8” when Dom, vacationing in Cuba, is forced into racing his nephew’s clapped out motor against the local street racing kingpin? Before the race, they strip that jalopy of every ounce of unnecessary weight, stripping it down to the bare essentials creating a lean, efficient racing machine. It’s that exact approach to storytelling that gives “Underwater” its…
