remember life that 2017 Ryan Reynolds
space movie that we all hoped what's
gonna be a venom origin movie but ended
up just being a Ryan Reynolds movie well
this is basically that movie only under
water very aptly titled
and like life it's totally watchable
especially in January I'd say in fact
it's better than life I enjoyed this
movie more now I wouldn't go out of my
way to see it not like oh don't miss it
but if you want to go to the movies or
later on you simply need something to
watch here you go
and don't underestimate the importance
of that because we've all been there or
dinner sitting in front of us and we
can't find anything to watch remember in
this movie so what makes underwater
watchable well first off very good
production values ah they spent a decent
more than a decent amount of money on
this film I don't know why they did but
I certainly appreciate it
in fact for large chunks of the movie I
was like I can't believe they could
afford this like the suits look cool the
drilling station sets multiple sets
pretty good world building the VFX like
you could to see the creatures
especially in the third act for a good
amount of time and I like the cast to be
honest with you I mean look Kristen
Stewart she's not a great actress I
thought maybe she was with Charlie's
Angels she's very good there they let
her Elizabeth Banks like Christians do
what really cut loose and maybe she
needs that but here sometimes I was like
oh yeah I also remember how bad she
wasn't Snow White so she's like
somewhere in the middle here but she
still I think she just makes the cutoff
for being a professional actress she's
professional and she's very charismatic
and no matter what by the way I think
that she and Robert Pattinson have to be
admired for how they've managed to stick
around post Twilight and not just stick
around but to both totally redefine
themselves as actors that's amazing
sure I was thinking about their stuff
while I was watching this movie but it
was always movie related so I think that
this movie has that going for it right
plus her styling does a lot of a lot of
the
work for her here like brunette Kristen
Stewart but blonde buzzcut Kristen
Stewart let's see what she does she also
has a very visual visually expressive
face she looks she's very cinematic you
know so I think that you know kind of
makes up for some of the grind readings
okay I also like how this movie kind of
passes the Bechdel test and I say kind
of because Kristen Stewart and Jessica
Hedwig that's right Colleen wing from
Iron Fist so good also very charismatic
they talk about guys but it's really to
get their minds off of the append and
pending doom and that subtext is there
so I think we can allow it right and
they work really well together and they
get stuff done and they're both really
cool I thought they were believable
Ripley juniors for sure not as good as
Ripley but as I said Ripley juniors I
liked it and it's a shame that TJ TJ
Miller me to destroy the me to discuss
he's also really good here very funny
there's warmth to his humor very
likeable if you don't think I didn't
even know the extent of what he's done
as promised is probably his last one of
his last roles ever like professional
roles in Hollywood because he's really
gone down the rabbit hole personally I
was like what did he do again and then I
googled it and I was like Amtrak bomb
threat is he's not coming back
and it's again too bad cuz I think he is
talented although really off the rails
speaking of Amtrak all right so anyway I
also thought it was crazy and
unfortunate that the black guy died
first again how does this keep happening
in Hollywood movies especially after
we've called it to people's attention
right I I've always boggles my mind that
no one on set is like really I mean I
was scared for him soon as he was
introduced I was like oh please don't do
that
I mean he lasted longer than I expected
but I was right to be scared for him
it's really unfortunate I don't get it
vincent cassell is fine he's clearly
collecting a paycheck but he seems very
miscast as the captain of an undersea
drilling rig I mean everyone here seems
like they should work more at a start-up
than an industrial drilling facility by
considering today's technology and that
all that most people have to do is press
a button I mean Kristen Stewart was
supposed to be like
which is also funny but she just
basically I mean she was a mechanic to
the degree that I'm pretty good at
fixing things thanks to my experience
with Legos right I don't know if I could
work on an industrial drill but you know
what maybe I could so I don't know I
mean it was kind of like you would think
about it but it didn't like ruin the
movie for me I was like maybe who knows
I'm sure they do dumb stuff in fact
after one jump scared the woman behind
me I guess she was annoyed at being
scared she was like that's so dumb this
movie sucks but I was very tempted to
turn around and be like have you ever
seen a horror movie before I mean sure
the really good ones are supposed to
find a way around the obvious stupid
moves but I mean even alien one of the
best space horror films of all time they
do dumb stuff there remember I mean I
guess that was one of the first movies
so those people I mean today you're like
haven't you ever seen a horror space
movie right have you ever seen alien and
maybe maybe these people aren't
cinephiles on this rig although there's
so much downtime you think they'd be
doing nothing but watch movies but you
know I think again we'll allow it right
and especially this movie was clearly
inspired by alien it's no alien but I
would say it's your typical B horror
film and I think in this case B horror
film is quite the compliment to
underwater they're like yes we got a
call to B horror film so again under
water is highly watchable and one day
maybe not today maybe not tomorrow but
someday
it will save you from boredom I think
again that's not to be undervalued and
is again as I also said I liked it more
than life I thought it was better
because that movie my characters doing
way too many stupid things I would say
either they only did stupid things like
once or twice and they have the
unfortunate situation of never leave
someone behind and you know while it's
unfortunate it's just the characters
themselves you're like man I don't want
to go see if someone's alive in there
but I want someone to do it for me damn
it and that's the way it goes to real
life - alright so anyway that's my
review of underwater and I'll share your
own thoughts down below subscribe today
