Viewing Notes

via Netflix

In the midst of establishing a top secret nuclear Navy base on the ocean floor, a crew of explorers inadvertently disturb a terrifying alien life form. By alien they mean undiscovered and ancient underwater critter. I’ve reviewed this before, and I’m sticking with it that this isn’t a particularly great underwater sea monster flick. I think Leviathan handled this better both between special effects and psychological effects on the crew. The characters here are a bit more likeable which goes a long way to salvaging this one for me, but it still just falls short especially given that it was released the same year as The Abyss. Yeah, I know, apples and oranges.
