Great Weller Flick

Ok so this movie is not for everyone I understand that. But one thing that is fun is to ponder how much better this movie could have been with some slight tweaks in the script. I thought this film had heart, especially the two survivor characters. I remember as a child being scared of this film, and it still rings true today.

When you put together the thought of being crushed by the weight of the ocean, of not decompressing while racing to the surface to escape a nightmare, its freaky folks. I think if you "get into" this movie then you would enjoy it. In order to do that you must suspend judgment. Star Wars does not have the best special affects anymore, but its a classic tale. Maybe this one is not classic but its very imaginative.

A Decompressing Film

I saw this one in the theater back in the day(my most vivid memory is that I really had to pee and I was happy when the film ended so I could dart off to the restroom). I wasn't crazy about it then, and I'm still not today. It's a pity coz the right ingredients are here. You got an underwater crew menaced by a prehistoric beasty(on an adequate budget) directed by Sean Cunningham. Sounds like fun, right?
Well, for a monster movie, there is a surprising lack of monster action. Most of the film it seems like endless scenes of folks sitting in cockpits/control rooms, water bursting from walls, people bickering, people shouting stuff like, "Close the hatches!", and endlessly repairing damage(or attempting to). When the monster shows up, you're already kinda tired of the whole thing. It doesn't look quite as bad as others have said(it's wisely kept in the dark most of the time), but it's not terribly impressive.
On the positive side, those of you who couldn't get enough of Greg Evigan in My Two Dads will have a splendid time watching him as a hero in a full length film! And using the F word! Also along for the ride are Matt Mccoy, Miguel Ferrer, and Ferris Buhler's mom. Ferrer is Deep Star Six's version of Michael Biehn's character in The Abyss.
Deep Star Six has a few good bloody moments, and even fewer suspense moments, but it's not a total throwaway I guess.
