Underwater (2020)
6/10
It's made well enough, but very derivative.

First things first: I'm not much of a Kristen Stewart fan, and her performance here was adequate, but not really enough to raise my opinion of her.

On its own, and if we ignore a lot of others released from the late 1970's onward, it's on OK movie: suspenseful, action-packed, etc. -- all the things you'd expect from as movie like this. However, it's because we can't pretend a lot of other movies don't exist that I have to see this one as derivative of many, many others: Alien, The Abyss, Leviathan (which was another "Alien"-But-Underwater ripoff), etc.

Its production values are good, and Vincent Cassel is always fun to watch, but I've seen this same story many times.
