I agree! It wasnt a BAD movie, but I didn’t like how it just jumped in. Unlike some of the newer Star Wars films where I found myself watching Joe Rogan instead 😂 I think I went in with a bit of a bias as well, expecting more of Lovecraft but instead getting what was basically a Kaiju movie. Definitely didnt hate it though.

[@pissedmonke8702]

@@Miller1989 Yeah, that tends to happen when you have a shit ton of movies that come out every year. It's not about whether there were great movies that aren't from Disney in previous years, it's about how a stale as fuck Superhero generation has started ruining film. Superheroes as an idea are fucking amazing, MHA, Codebreaker, DC's Joker, Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, Shyamalan's Unbreakable/Split/Glass, and so many more, whether you like them or not are great ideas, but at the end of the day, all casual movie goers care about is when the next Infinity War saga is coming out and they will pay for 10+ rinse and repeat cash grabs if they have to just to get it. It's a problem that has to do with milking something that is so much greater than the casual movie goer realizes. That's why Disney becoming a monopoly is bad, because they not only milk a genre, but they milk there surface of it, never daring to explore the more interesting and thought provoking possibilities that rest deep within the genre. They've done that same thing with Star Wars, listen I like the new Star Wars trilogy, I would even go to say I really like it, but does it do ANYTHING new for Star Wars, yeah, here and there, minor things that don't really matter, but never anything big. There's so much to tap into with the franchises that Disney controls, but they never do explore the vast and incredible possibilities behind the franchises they own. That's what is hurting film more and more these days.

[@codybot5151]

Yes man it makes this movie so much better after finding this out

[@corentinrobin3513]

I actually thought the opposite! It felt like a cheap cop out to me, I feel the movie was at its best when it was an underwater "gravity" - humans vs the elements with a few centimetres of steel between you and a painful death. The big monster felt like Cthulhu without any of the subtlety and finesse of Lovecraft's work. It felt like "Hey remember what Cthulhu looks like? Let's reuse the design", without the meaning behind it. Even though the monster kind of bummed me, the ending lost me completely, it felt cheap and unearned, to have a "hero" moment when plot armour finally decides to go.

[@lucijarebrovic8058]

Honestly, for the most part of the movie i was on the edge of my seat needing to know what is gonna happen next, which not a lot of movies are capable of doing. Being plot-driven and the fact it starts 'in media res' really took this movie on another level. In my opinion it's not at all like character development was missing, it's more like the creators wanted even bigger emphasis on the plot. Idk but it feels like this movie didn't deserve to be dumped in january and they could have promoted it way better

[@MIZZKIE]

TBH some movies don't need character development. Getting the deed done is all that matters. As long as the plot is interesting and the characters not annoying, that's enough to satisfy me. Rogue One is a perfect example. It was a very plot-driven movie. It was the mission that mattered, and if you've seen the other Star Wars movies, (SPOILERS) you already know that all of them are gonna die. (END SPOILERS) The characters were already developed to begin with, so why expect more? Character development takes away time from the precious run time, and some movies don't necessarily need it. Especially in B-movies I'd rather they spend more time on the action than develop characters we're not gonna give a damn about.

[@lucijarebrovic8058]

@@MIZZKIE exactly, thank you! :D I haven't seen Rouge One but i get what you are saying. For me, the little of character development as this movie had made the movie feel kinda corny at parts and unnecessary.

Really? I was bored out of my mind. And that doesn't happen very often xD

[@No-ps2zf]

I loved how much aware of his inspiration this movie was. The Descent, Lovecraft and Alien are explicitly quoted, even though they were visual quotations. I think it needed a few minutes more to develop its characters (for example that damn bunny detail, which I'm sure it's somewhat explained in some deleted scene, really drew me crazy).

[@AlirioAguero2]

The bunny was a nice touch, I think. Some people have toys and objects they are especially attached to. It can be for the fact they come from their early childhood or maybe remind them of someone they loved. In an isolated situation like this that object can feel even more alive and important. I like how the movie didn't make a joke out of it, even if the character himself is supposed to be the ''funny guy'' of the group.

[@heilo263]

Oh look at that, more direct rip-offs of previous actually-great works; there were so many derivative scenes that were done sub-par that I almost thought about rewatching The Relic just to laugh harder.

This really isn't necessarily true.

[@8mmkyle865]

Yeah it is... but the fact that they did nothing with that concept, it couldve been any other monster. The reason I watched this movie was because I saw Cthulhu was in it. But he was just wasted. Its such a brilliant twist, if they added more things from the mythos and were more focused on the characters, it wouldve been amazing. Annihilation is a good example of cosmic horror that this movie couldve followed. An underlying meaning to this movie could ve added so much depth as well.

[@8mmkyle865]

And also I found this. It's suppose to be Cthulhu but they didnt decide on that until post production. Up till then, it was just an undersea monster. "The alpha creature was never explicitly named Cthulhu in the film, but only named and confirmed by director William Eubank, after principle photography of the film was completed. In fact, the creature was code-named "Behemoth" and incompletely designed during shooting, and was not even decided to be the Lovecraftian monster until post-production."

The little creature they capture is called a "clinger." Kristen Stewart shaved her head for this role Against expectations, Smith (John Gallagher Jr.) survives the entire movie, despite wearing a deep-diving suit with the unlucky number 13 on it. Actors wore airtight suits for the underwater scenes, making it difficult to hear the director's commands. Each suit weighed about 140 lbs (63 kg).

This actress was good in Twilight and has been a good actor in every movie she has done. This movie may have similar themes as many others but each actor brings something different and amazing that separates from every movie. Movie just like movies is repetitive but actors bring emotions that moves.

i disagree i think shes pretty flat tbh

[@MrSLYTWIGGY]

This movie felt like I started watching it 30 min late. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE!

[@danmakes2497]

I think it was a aversion of the "meeting and getting to know the crew", to showing the danger immediately to try and make us concerned and cared for the characters or to put us on edge and see what these characters would do next. I do admit, it threw me off but after the door shutting scene, I liked the aversion. But yeah, "who are these people?" went through my mind and thought this was a sequel of sorts.

When I saw the first few seconds of the trailer I thought it was a remake of Leviathan, an excellent 80's flick. Highly recommended if you haven't seen it.

I actually really liked this movie. By far my favorite movie released in January this year. It was the Life of this year, although I thought this was a bit better than that movie. It's derivative of Alien, Dead Space, The Descent, Sphere, Lovecraft, and other things but it's also competent, ballsy, intense, and fun. I recommend to anyone that enjoys a sci fi, horror, survival situations, monster movies.. not perfect, but I had a good time

This movie was the definition of a solid 7/10.

[@muthulingamramiah5546]

Just saw this movie, I really enjoyed it... My Personal Rating: 7/10 Cons: 1. Not enough screen time for the main monster and its offsprings 2. The news headlines in the opening credits gave away too much of the plotline...kind of spoils the movie.. 3. Wanted to see more creatures (both regular Deep sea creatures and fictional ones) and TJ Miller should have survived...killing him off was too predictable... Pros: 1. The main monster (the Queen Cthulhu or Kraken or whatever it was) had a good screen presence, it actually had character 2. Excellent storyline and good direction 3. Career saving movie for Kirsten Stewart, she did well Give me more creature features please...

[@rmac5584]

I'll give it an 8 because the characters were not fully introduced. It just went straight to the action from the beginning.

[@muthulingamramiah5546]

[@Road_to_Dawn]

I’d been wondering about this movie since watching a few different trailers during the latter half of last year, and my best friend mentioned it to me too. Now after watching both Jeremy and Chris’s reviews, this sounds right up my alley. I’m 100% onboard and I think I’m gonna go watch it when I’ve got a free moment tomorrow! Edit almost 2 years later: I ended up watching this TWICE in theaters during its run. I went once by myself and loved it, and so I told my dad, “Hey, you’ve got to see this movie!” And so I took him to see it a few days later and still had a blast with it. I just bought it on blu ray and I’m looking forward to watching it again tonight, this time with BTS extras just to soak it all in. It goes right up there for me with Pandorum and Color Out Of Space in terms of great overlooked movies.

[@jacobnion2525]

"It's not a franchise movie" That's exactly the point I think. If a film doesn't offer the potential to be the start of a series it's not worth the cost for Disney. Of course they didn't put any money in this particular film, but it shows how clueless they are about what to do with it.
