Underwater (2020)

My Review

“Underwater” is a science fiction story about scientists trying to escape a damaged underwater research station; they run into problems when they encounter previously unknown sea monsters. Director William Eubank (“The Signal” 2014) and screenwriters Brian Duffield and Adam Cozad put together an exciting albeit predictable film we have seen before. The picture does have good production values, believable dialogue, high quality special effects, and good acting.

The cast includes Kristen Stewart, Vincent Cassell, T. J. Miller, Jessica Henwick, John Gallagher Jr., Gunner Wright, and Mamoudou Athie. The watchable “Underwater” was indeed underwater with critics and moviegoers alike, being a flop at the box office due to release in the Covid19 pandemic for Chernin Entertainment and 20th Century Fox. It was filmed in Louisiana.
