This is probably one of my guilty pleasure movies. It has the right amount of cheesy sci-fi fun action and is a total popcorn movie. The special effects haven’t held up as well but it’s a lot of fun and makes no apologies for it.
If you love the Poseidon Adventure + Alien + The Mummy (also another Stephen Sommers movie) then you’ll enjoy this!
I really miss the old bravery of 90' monster movies. Deep rising was one of my VHS discovered in a dusty rental and I loved it.
After so many years and inspired by the new Kraken movie I wanted to view it again.
It's funny, brave and stupid as much as is needed with characters able to maintain consistency. It's a good movie for me and i really wished that the cgi wasn't used so much
Such a fun theater watch. A popcorn movie for sure.
If Hollywood ever makes another movie like this, then maybe the world will be right.
Watch this because this is what a fun movie is suppose to be.
Deep Rising 2 petition, please.
a sort of Indiana Jones type captain has been tricked by a gang of torpedo-wielding ne'er do wells into driving his small ship to an unexplained destination for unknown reasons. There's also the most expensive boat in the world floating around in the area - one for the richest people in the world - how do you know they're rich? Cos they're in a casino in glittery '80s trashy dresses and tops being serenaded by headache-inducing marching drummers and cheesy fire-eaters. There's also a sexy theif lady wondering around. There's also the monster of course...you don't see mr monster for ages and ages...i thought it was going to be one of those cop outs where you don't see it or when you see it it's 'in the dark'....but no you get plenty of full frontal monster action (yay!). My favourite bit was the corpses the monster leaves (and almost corpses) that look like Berni Wrightson drew them or a particularly gore-loving EC comics artist. Cheesy as all get-out, a bit long but ultimately really good fun
26 years ago today... January 26th... My buddy rented this from Hollywood video for his birthday! It was the first DVD we had ever been able to rent and watch! PS2 and all! Lol! It reminds me of being young, and drunk on pizza and Green River or Big Red soda while watching this! Lol! This was a throwback that was well worth it! Still not a super good movie by any means, but it is definitely a killer flick! ;-)
My quick rating - 6.2/10. Pretty good action/horror/scifi flick that gets a bit kooky but overall is pure popcorn fun. I do remember it being better the first go around but still not shabby 22 years later.
