Norah Price (Kristen Stewart) is a mechanic working at the Kepler drilling station, located in the Mariana Trench at the bottom of the ocean. The water starts crushing parts of the station and Norah tries to escape with a few other survivors.
This thriller starts almost right away which leads to my initial complaint. The movie does not lay out the setting or give a sense of place before it throws the audience around. I question some of the damage and the construction of the station. Any leaks under that water pressure would be much more damaging. A drip would turn into a water drill that could slice through something solid. I don't like the science in this sci-fi. The movie also needs to lay out the journey in some more detail. There is a quick exposition and map presentation but it skims it a little. I would prefer more clarity. As for the creature feature, it's not anything special. Non of this is anything special. As always, the girls are eventually left hanging out in their underwear although the movie does give a passable explanation. All in all, this is nothing special. There are a few minor thrills. Things happen. It's one thing after another until it's not. It's a popcorn flick of little consequence.
