Underwater

Synopsis

Watching Underwater we are diving into the bottom of the Mariana Trench being on board of Kepler-822, an oceanic deep research and drilling station. The mild station activity is stopped by a strong earthquake that destroys Kepler-822. Scientists and engineers try to get to another station in their diving suits across the ocean floor, but they are attacked by some creatures. Facing a deep-sea life form unknown to science could be fatal…

Pretty good special effects, Lovecraftian monsters and Kristen Stewart’s face that shows a miniscule proportion of emotions are Underwater’s bonuses.
