Who wrote the script? I guess a 6 year old

Not bad but I'm guessing this is yet another one of those films where the book is ten times better than the movie. I got the impression that a lot was left out in order to keep the movie to a manageable running time.

A movie I really wanted to like. It’s just too confusing and silly. The cast isn’t bad though. Well despite Dustin Hoffman miscast.

The dialogue in this movie makes it a little tough to take seriously: **"Why are you taking the gas out of the room? That's my air. What's with this water?!"** - Norman, the guy who just can't figure out that someone is trying to kill him. Even when they lock him in a room and flood it.

Great watch, would watch again, and do recommend.

I feel like I have a thing for the isolationism of deep sea bases. "Bioshock", "Deep Blue Sea", "The Meg", "Underwater", "The Abyss": just the idea of being far away from any help in the most dangerous living conditions possible on the planet.

Interesting idea but poorly executed and overly long. Acting was okay but nobody really stood out. At least some of the effects weren't too bad for 1998. I actually back in the day read the novel but don't remember anything from it, just know this adaptation was pretty different. **2.5/5**
