Underrated 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.
