      What to know

      Critics Consensus

      Underwater's strong cast and stylish direction aren't enough to distract from the strong sense of déjà vu provoked by this claustrophobic thriller's derivative story. Read critic reviews

      • Aug 02, 2022

        This had potential, bit the overall story and the conclusion were a bit too unsatisfying, and so much of the action was obscured by the darkness & murkiness of the deep sea.

        I don't think I've ever seen a movie in which the action kickstarts in a big way within the first four minutes after the title sequence rolled. Underwater is a tightly wound, completely unbelievable monster movie that has a bonkers ending that probably made H.P. Lovecraft sit up in his grave and cheer.

        A mostly passable "Alien" ripoff that does manage to mine enough effective tension from its premise. Stewart should do more action/horror movies.

        If Alien was like a haunted house in space, then Underwater is a haunted house...underwater. People move about - in large spacesuits - through dark places with flashlights that never seem to work and plenty of loud noises from somewhere ("did you hear that?!?") for those all important set-up jumpscares. But all in all the work, despite location, goes over familiar territory (yet again) and offers nada different or fresh. Unless one is a Kristen Stewart fan.
