Very Cool!!!

To me, this movie is perfection.

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

It's about that you should to imagine about Alien (1979) set underwater, but with low budget. Since it has 5.2 rating on IMDb, I actually think it's truly underrated and good underwater film. I can see why a lot of people disliked it because they couldn't accept that the way it's a rip- off of Alien. But just because it's a rip-off doesn't mean this movie a bad. First off, I loved it even when the alien (or the monster) appeared in like 3-4 minutes. It has a great characters, the atmosphere, the editing, the setting. It has no much plot, but it was all that entertaining and just interesting film.My rating: 8.5/10

Project leader Van Gelder is driving most of the crew nuts. He's behind schedule on constructing an underwater missile platform for the US Navy. Unfortunately, pro forma sound checks reveal a cave beneath the seabed over which the platform was to be built. Van Gelder orders that explosives be used to collapse the cave so that building can continue. Burciaga and Collins register their objections due to structural risks. Scarpelli objects since she will lose any chance of studying possible life forms that normally reside in the caves. Captain Laidlaw sides with Van Gelder since the Navy is likely to shut down the project if there are any more delays.Hodges and Osborne set off the charges as ordered. When they send down a tethered remote unit to record stills and video, they manage to lose it. They detach from their tractor housing to pursue the remote, since losing it would be so expensive. The cavern is rather huge, and the likelihood of filling it in to continue construction looks bleak.That's when the elimination derby starts. The rest of the film is about survival: the crew versus whatever took out that the remote.This was a rather ordinary entry. It's sci-fi set underwater with some nasty creatures. This one turns into a more or less by-the-numbers elimination derby, with none of the characters (except perhaps Snyder) showing any awareness of what was happening. It was just not that interesting.

I honestly can;t believe that some people are giving this movie such a high rating, and even more than someone went so far as to put it above James Cameron and Ridley Scott... anyhow the reviewThe film is very much based around the same sort of concepts as Alien, shot instead underwater... The Alien replaced by a giant deep sea invertebrate. However the storyline is much less developed than the older masterpiece instead moving from disaster to catastrophe each of which contrived for the moment rather than a cohesive whole. There is no attempt to study the creature, nor actively work to vanquish it et.c, instead its just one failure to escape after another in tedious repetition. The monster therefore is not a real character in the storyline, its simply a reason for numerous other disasters to have started happening, indeed its a member of the crew who causes most of the problems in a farce of errors. The crew are killed off piecemeal seemingly without care or reason, which is fine because you didn't care about them really, you were never given a chance to get to know them.That said the effects are decent for their time and the acting is solid if not spectacular, when you take into account the poor script they were working with. however overall, this film is not great and not really worth the time and effort to watch unless there is nothing else on.

DSS is a frustrating movie...not as bad as the contemporaneous "Leviathan," but not nearly as good as "The Abyss." Quite a bit of money and effort went into the movie, and the reasonably good SFX show this. Unfortunately, it falls back into the same pit of horror-SF clichés that plague most movies of the genre.Lots of "clang" moments here, too. For one thing, how are the creatures getting around the station when the crew keep closing all the water-tight hatches behind them? It's not like there's a suspended ceiling they can crawl through. And in a later scene, it seems like a good idea to open the fuel dump on a submersible vehicle and pour highly-flammable fuel all over the creature before igniting it with a flare. Huh? Since when do submersible vehicles use internal combustion engines that require petroleum-based fuels? (I'd personally like to see the air filters that extract air for the engines from the surrounding seawater.) And how do you decompress from that depth in less than three hours? But, all things considered. it's serviceable as a monster flick. Just don't expect any common sense. Oh, and don't get attached to any of the characters.
