Underwater Reviews
"Last night I saw my Kristen making a bomb. Oo-oo-ee. Murky, murky, cheap, cheap!"
| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 13, 2020
The Abyss meets Aliens with a bit of The Poseidon Adventure, a lot of Pacific Rim and a dash of The Meg in this subaquatic sci-fi that offers nothing more than the sum of its references.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 10, 2020
The murky cinematography further hinders a picture that looks as though it was shot through raw sewage.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 9, 2020
It's not that bad, it is just not any good.

As viewers of this dreck, we could teach the earth's crust a few things about being deeply bored.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 6, 2020
Instantly forgettable.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 6, 2020
The plot is 'The Abyss'-lite, the horror beats feel cadged from 'Alien' and the seafood-looking CG monsters appear to have been liberated from a bin outside Iceland.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 30, 2020
There's no better feeling than starting the New Year right with an affectionate, action-packed genre picture.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 29, 2020
It's mostly satisfactory but... it's kind of redundant.
| Original Score: 6.6/10 | Jan 23, 2020
The dream-like atmosphere must be partly intentional, if the recurring Alice in Wonderland references are anything to go by -- though it also seems like a result of sheer indifference to the many gaps in the script.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 23, 2020
The jump scares are all wet in "Underwater," a waterlogged "Alien" clone that is as narratively perplexing as it is visually incoherent.
| Original Score: D | Jan 20, 2020
It's another movie about thin characters and bland monsters-albeit one that's better than the norm.
| Original Score: B- | Jan 14, 2020
"Underwater" manages to keep its characters in the dark while making sure the audience is roughly oriented.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 14, 2020
At times the screen was so muddy I found myself wishing for the world's largest bottle of Windex.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 11, 2020
As for Stewart, she'll hopefully get a chance to carry something big and shiny that's also less perfunctory, because her boredom during Underwater is palpable.
| Jan 11, 2020
Miss Stewart continues to be the most fabulous thing in Hollywood, so far as I am concerned... She just pulls the ripcord and goes for it.
| Jan 11, 2020
This is a lean, mean, and totally derivative sci-fi piece of schlock, but it's fun.
| Jan 11, 2020
The only reason I wanted to see it at all is Kristen Stewart, but she is so wasted that she should have stayed in bed.
| Original Score: 0/4 | Jan 10, 2020
Without visual flair, mindboggling effects, astonishing creatures and an extraordinary climax, it feels underdeveloped.
| Jan 10, 2020
A lean and mean film that gets you into its action instantly and then doesn't release the pressure until the ending credits.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 10, 2020
