That is really it. The story is pretty simple, yet the movie somehow\nfeels super long. Towards the end I was&nbsp;\nbegging for the credits to start rolling. However, that\u2019s only where my\nproblems start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, the\nfilm doesn\u2019t establish anything. Barely a minute in, an explosion goes off and\nsuddenly the main conflict is happening. Meanwhile you\u2019re confused because you\ndon\u2019t know who anyone is, why they\u2019re underwater or what their goal is. This is\nsuch a huge issue, because when the true danger arrives, you don\u2019t care who\nlives or dies. You are not invested in these characters, so why you should\ncare. The dialogue between the characters is also weak. If I had to guess why\nthe film is like this, I\u2019m going to assume the writers thought it would be\nscarier to throw you right into the action, but honestly it does the opposite.\nAt first I thought the explosion scene was a dream, not only because it was so\nridiculously sudden, but also because Norah, the main character, is just talking\nabout dreaming for no particular reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/underwater-DF-04319_CC_rgb.jpg?resize=225%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5316\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/underwater-DF-04319_CC_rgb.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/underwater-DF-04319_CC_rgb.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/underwater-DF-04319_CC_rgb.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption>L to R: Vincent Cassel, Jessica Henwick, T.J.

Another major issue is\nthe \u201chorror\u201d in this horror movie. I hope you like jump scares, because that\u2019s\nall you\u2019ll get. I don\u2019t like jump scares, not just because I\u2019m jumpy, but also\nthey\u2019re incredibly cheap. They\u2019re like the horror equivalent to tickling\nsomeone to make them laugh &#8211; it\u2019s easy and simple but shouldn&#8217;t count. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this\ncould be considered a nitpick, this really bothered me and should be mentioned.\nWhen the crew members aren\u2019t in these diving suits, they\u2019re in nothing but\ntheir underwear. There is no reason for this and I don\u2019t know why this is the\ncase, other than the obvious excuse. But it\u2019s really impractical. The research\nfacility is filled with water, wouldn\u2019t it be freezing? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give this\nfilm 1 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 13 to 18. Not a great start to\nthe decade.

They quickly discover\nthey are being hunted by an unknown creature from these unexplored depths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\naction starts very quickly, which makes it hard to care about the characters\nright away, but eventually there are some moments of character development. My\nfavorite character, Paul (T.J. Miller) provides comic relief. I love how he\ncarries around a stuffed bunny for comfort. I really like when the camera keeps\nturning to a first person perspective so it appears as if you\u2019re looking\nthrough one of the character\u2019s eyes. The best example of this is when Norah (Kristen\nStewart) is looking around and suddenly we see two creepy eyes staring back at\nus through the darkness. As you would expect from a monster movie, the visual\nand sound effects are top notch. The lab sets are convincingly realistic and\nthere\u2019s some strong acting, especially from Vincent Cassel, who plays the\ncaptain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/underwater-DF-04583_R_rgb.jpg?resize=225%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5317\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/underwater-DF-04583_R_rgb.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/underwater-DF-04583_R_rgb.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/underwater-DF-04583_R_rgb.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption>Jessica Henwick stars in Twentieth Century Fox\u2019s \u201cUnderwater\u201d.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents\nshould watch out for the language and violence in this movie, both of which\nmade me wonder why it\u2019s not rated R. I have never before seen a movie where\npeople both implode and explode like the graphic, gross and disturbing deaths\nin this film. Parents might also want to know that several characters end up\nrunning around in their underwear for no particular reason. The message of this\nfilm is that when we don\u2019t respect our planet, there are consequences. Emily,\nplayed by Jessica Hanwick, sums up this moral when she says, \u201cWe&#8217;ve drilled too\ndeep. We&#8217;ve taken too much.
