- 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.
- Phillip OdhiamboOctober 30, 2025Just finished watching and wow, didn't expect to be so hooked! Clean CGI and awesome VFX! 🎥✨
- 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.
- Mmmm6speedOctober 23, 2025Phenomenal movie!!
- RichardOctober 12, 2025Caught this one on streaming and yeah, it fits right into that DeepStar Six, Leviathan, The Abyss corner of the shelf. You’ve got a deep sea drilling station, a sudden catastrophe and a crew trying to survive while something ancient and very not-friendly starts picking them off. It wastes no time, within five minutes, the place is flooding, cracking, and falling apart. Kristen Stewart actually works here, stripped down, buzzcut and no-nonsense. The whole thing plays out in near real-time, which adds to the tension. The creature design leans Lovecraftian, especially toward the end and while the murky cinematography can be frustrating, it also adds to the claustrophobia. You’re not supposed to see everything clearly, it’s the deep ocean, after all. The suits are bulky, the pressure’s crushing and the silence between jump scares is where the real dread lives. It’s not original, but it’s tight. Could’ve used more character work, sure, but for a 90-minute survival horror flick? It delivers. Definitely better than it got credit for and if you’re into underwater terror with a side of cosmic horror, it’s worth the dive.
- CoougeSeptember 14, 2025I like it. It feels like we’re actually underwater.
- gibbensSeptember 7, 2025I didn’t see this movie at first because of Kristin Stewart. I just don’t think she’s a good actor… With exception of American Ultra. But really she was just playing herself in that movie so… My son actually convinced me to watch this because he saw it in the theater. So all I can say about this without completely ruining it for all of you is that this is a classic monster movie and Kristen Stewart doesn’t say much in it. Give this a shot… If you haven’t seen it and you like sci-fi and horror, this is a movie for you
- Kraine OpasenJune 20, 2025“In the deep, no one can hear you panic.” Underwater is a tight, claustrophobic thrill ride — a sci-fi horror that wastes no time and grabs your nerves from the first minute. Set miles below the ocean’s surface, it plunges you straight into darkness, dread, and something far worse than pressure. Kristen Stewart delivers a strong, grounded performance as a reluctant survivor, surrounded by solid supporting cast and metal creaking from all sides. The tension is constant, the corridors are narrow, the suits are heavy — and so is the silence before the next jolt. It borrows from the best (Alien, The Abyss), but makes the deep-sea terror its own. The cinematography is murky and immersive, the pacing relentless, and the horror? Slow, suffocating, and eventually Lovecraftian. It may have flown under the radar, but Underwater is a hidden gem for fans of smart, stylish creature horror. Deep, dark, and absolutely worth the dive.
