Where to Watch Underwater
- MaxRiderSeptember 29, 2026Trying to pull off an iconic Alien homage is bold, but doing it by wearing gym clothes to an aquatic catastrophe. only the legendary Sigourney Weaver can pull that off.
- marshalseaJuly 27, 2025Underrated and underloved. Really good throw back to Leviathan or Deep Star Six. Much much better than the Abyss. Kristen and Vincent do a lot of heavy lifting, and as others have observed there's definitely some "we need an ahole, lets hire TJ" which works really well cause he's just so unlikeable. I disagree with the normal complaints of "We don't get any character development in this mainly real time film" - well it's 1.5h people don't change that quickly. "Everything's murky" well... yeah, you're underwater and there's a massive churn going on, and also someone understood that not showing you what's going on adds tension. At some point everyone will re-evaluate and do one of those "Why didn't I???" well, probably cause you listened to everyone else.
- SirMonkalotSeptember 6, 2026This was very much an action horror movie, which isn’t bad but I was kind of hoping for more “depth” 🤓. It turned out to be a pretty straight forward Hollywood horror film. I did like the sense of claustrophobia but I felt they didn’t really focus enough on that. What I did particularly LOVE about this was the set design. The underwater station felt very sci-fi and alive, and what I mean by alive is that it felt like people lived there and it had character. I also thought the suits were pretty dope even though I doubt they would have been able to sustain such intense pressure.
- pipanniJuly 7, 2026I know Kristen Stewart isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I find her a terrific actress. Always very convincing in everything she does. Even in this movie, which is basically "Aliens" but 'underwater' (duh) she manages to carry the whole movie on her narrow frame. Watch this if you're a fan of sci-fi, avoid if you hate Kristen Stewart's acting.
- redaikidokaJune 29, 2026Not naturally a fan of the main actress of this movie historically but she was amazing in this film. And the film itself is great. It jumps right into the action. It’s claustrophobic and terrifying, and it works the mythos in in a way that constantly delights and terrifies the viewer and then it’s deeply satisfying. This is a great movie.
- HaroldBawlsApril 20, 2026Great way to spend 90 minutes eating dinner. Lots of action
- philthyforkJune 9, 2026Little campy with some plot holes sprinkled in for needless suspense, but overall a good popcorn sci-fi thriller.
- cat_packApril 30, 2026It's an intense, high-pressure (pun intended), thriller. You hit the ground running or well.. swimming... and learn people's back stories/personality on the go instead of the other way round. Tons of action and even the occasional sprinkle of humor from the comedy relief character.
- GenosphereFebruary 24, 2026Good movie. The visuals are great, the costume design is cool, and the pacing is pretty great too. An, you aren't left in the dark and get some closure at the end.
- Ben RaynerFebruary 3, 2026Underwater? Underrated. Makes you wait for the 'monsterism' but when the leviathan arrives the leviathan comes in HARD.
- Patrick WaiJanuary 21, 2026Sort of like a deep sea Alien movie. No introductions, little character development, predictable plot - what a waste, considering the star power of Kristen Stewart and the $65m budget.
- NathanTheDadJanuary 15, 2026Not so great that I could think of any meaningful compliments, not so bad that I'd ever watch it again. Of all of the movies ever made, this is certainly one of them. Terrible sci fi, ok acting, mid horror. The concept was meh. The anti corporate twist was yawn.
- stolteclanJanuary 13, 2026Way better than it has any right to be. Absolutely enjoy the shit out of this!
- madz26November 18, 2025Simple, but somewhat blurry and difficult to follow visually. A sad case of misunderstanding the basic science of materials, biology, and deep-sea pressure physics, which makes this movie completely unwatchable. If I didn't know any better, the movie's props and design were originally intended for a space horror; however, the production quickly changed the plot to take place 36,000 feet underwater. Thus, leaving this movie a complete implosion.
