James McAvoy and Alicia Vikander in Submergence (2017)
'Submergence' is a love story that takes us into the extremely different worlds of our two protagonists, Danielle Flinders (Alicia Vikander) and James More (James McAvoy). They meet by chance in a remote hotel in Normandy where they both prepare for a dangerous mission. They fall in love almost against their will, but soon recognize in each other the love of their lives. When they have to separate, we find out that James works for the British Secret Service. He's involved in a mission in Somalia to track down a source for suicide bombers infiltrating Europe. Danielle 'Danny' Flinders is a bio-mathematician working on a deep sea diving project to support her theory about the origin of life on our planet. Soon, they are worlds apart. James is taken hostage by Jihadist fighters and has no way of contacting Danny, and she has to go down to the bottom of the ocean in her submersible, not even knowing if James is still alive ...

    • Quotes

      James More: Death. It gets very real when you're watching somebody die in front of you. You're thinking, is this all I am? Is this all I added up to? And all the clichés are true. You're thinking, why now? Why did it have to be... this happen, before I realize what life truly is? It's direct, it's immediate, and it's their whole life exposed to you.

      Danielle Flinders: Did you think about your own death a lot?

      James More: I did, and I do.

      Danielle Flinders: I've heard people telling me that they've had those exact same thoughts when they fell in love.

      James More: No, you don't die when you fall in love.

    The end was "sooo" disapointing
    Wonderful talented actors, I really love the main actors, but still a flopp. The love story was too short to get the right soul, I started good, but ended to fast. The too separate stories were too long and boring, I just waited and waited for the ending and to get to know HOW it would end. The ending was a disaster, so bad and so disappointing! This film could have been good, but they ruined it!
