Posted Image Plot: Bloodthirsty creatures await a pack of divers who become trapped in an underwater cave network. So I totally feel like I'm one of the only people that really likes this movie, haha. I've heard SO much shit talked about this, even from Fangoria magazine, so I was expecting it to be total garbage. So I watched it like 5 or 6 years ago and yeah...I pretty much jumped on the 'Ew, this sucks' bandwagon or whatever you want to call it. I had my own reasons though. I just thought it was a dull, not at all memorable film full of cardboard characters, that triedto hard in some aspects and not enough when it came to other things. Well I watched it again for the first time since my first viewing with only my memory of one of the kills and the ending left intact and woah, wtf? I actually really enjoyed it this time. The death order seriously pissed me off, with two characters making it to the last 15 minutes or so who had NO busines being alive and hardly did anything useful the entire film. *HATES when movies randomly let pointless characters make it farther than those with development and such* There are a few really intense scenes, most of which involve being underwater or climbing up large rock structures while being pursued by the various creatures. =U The creature designs are actually AWESOME and the CGI was only obvious in maybe 4 or 5 shots. Quick ones. The ending IS still a bit of a letdown though, but I guess that's because I wanted the same downplayed, quiet and sad ending that The Descent had lol. Most of my fave characters ended up making it far, which was a plus. This film = Another reason to love Lena Headey. She really shines here, as does Piper Perabo, Cole hauser, and most of the others in the cast. It was also great hearing a song by my fave band ever (Nightwish<3) during the end credits. 7.5/10 |
