Well, you know, the whole movie they were going from one place to other. And I thought the trip was so, so, so common. I've seen that journey a million times. They're mostly going through corridors and some tight squeezes; one drop and one outside walk. Nothing wrong with that, if the characters and story was cookin', but it wasn't for me. I'm glad you liked though.

Decided to peak at RottenTomatoes... 49% critic 60% audience. The critique RT features is: "Underwater's strong cast and stylish direction aren't enough to distract from the strong sense of d�j� vu provoked by this claustrophobic thriller's derivative story." Funny he/she writes "distract from the strong sense of d�j� vu"... lol... yeah, I had, what you might call d�j� vu, but not the good kind.
just for fun, here's some of the RT critiques:
The Abyss meets Aliens with a bit of The Poseidon Adventure, a lot of Pacific Rim and a dash of The Meg in this subaquatic sci-fi that offers nothing more than the sum of its references.

The murky cinematography further hinders a picture that looks as though it was shot through raw sewage.

As viewers of this dreck, we could teach the earth's crust a few things about being deeply bored.

It's not that bad, it is just not any good.

An animal? You don't know who that was? That was the surprise. Did you read my review?

I liked the movie. Yeah it does feel like Alien at times and other movies. But I find it funny how critics will find similarities with smaller or normal movies. But when companies make remakes and homages for big movies, critics do their best to help companies sell tickets.

Why the hell couldn't the movie have been about Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall again? And why the hell couldn't they find an actor to play the son who didn't look and acted like an annoying fuck? Would have liked to see Anthony Mackie playing that part. I don't care if he's 10 years too old, damn it!!
Oh well, at least the costumes looked nice. 1 point for that.

I don't think Eddie Murphy will make those rough comedies anymore. I can't remember much of the original Coming to America. Only this bar scene.
It's strange how a lot of that I didn't get when I was young. There is that pretty gold digger that might actually be playing herself if you check her wiki. And the inside jokes. Back in the day, Eddie Murphy did a bunch of gay jokes. But he was the guy who got caught picking up a trans prostitute. A term I didn't get back then. That would be a strange coincidence when considering that final scene in the bar.
