Movie start with credits where they show, how being that deep in the ocean can effect someones psyche and in the first shot we see stewart talking about she doesn't know if she is a sleep or awake, is it night or is it day. And these are all good threads to follow in an underwater action/horror flick. instead, movie doesn't even bother with those aspects ever again and focus on ripping of ailen (unsuccessfully).
this movie didn't need any ailens, underwater pressure was an obstacle enough. If we get to know who these characters are and what were their inner conflicts we as the viewer would care much more about the people dying than we did. and our main character didn't have any inner conflict or any mistakes that we know of so we can root for her to get her redemption. People in the reviews talk a lot about stewarts acting but even if you cast the most talented actress on the planet on that role, what does she have to go on? she had a boy friend who is lost while diving? oh god.. what a lazy story that creates more questions than answers, in fact here are my questions:
If her boyfriend died while diving, why did she choose this job? Did her boyfriend dying had no effect on our hero? Why should we as viewers care about this boyfriend while we never saw their relationships? ...
In short, I would care about this movie much more if it started with whole cast interacting with one another, get to know them and feel sorry for them when they die. Plus, if it started as a slow pace thriller and ramp up to the earthquake (not ailens..) it would be much more entertaining (at least for me).
