I am probably in the minority here but I really didn’t like this film. The look of the film is great, it is atmospheric and the psycho edge provided by Michael Biehn is outstanding but the film is lacking any of the claustrophobia and desperate battles for survival that have marked Cameron films such as Terminator, Aliens and Titanic. The beauty of the underwater environment is the feel of trapped with hostile creature / person and that is just not present, backed up by the world’s cheesiest Hollywood ending. I try to avoid this given a choice.
