Why is Underwater so hated? I thought it's pretty ok. Not great, none of the characters are likable, it had some cringy moments and I wish the final encounter was longer and more interesting. But it was solid entertainment. The closest to water Kaiju kino we have come so far.
What did you think about it?

neither are puppets. at least cgi monsters look better
How the fuck isn't this creature expanding like fuck after being brought into a pressurized room?
this, holy shit, i alway wondered why newer horror monsters just didnt seem as scary even when they are more over designed, its becuase of the cgi it has to be the brain must automaticly dismiss it, were as shit like 'the thing' was scary
Dummie here, why would it?
It was ok.
their body is specialized for deep water pressure. as the pressure lowers, their squished body bloats
Cthulhu magic
Some deep sea fish have sacks filled with gas that would expand when brought to the surface or even burst. Other deep sea fish are adjusted to it in a way that their cells' lipid barriers aren't stable anymore under low pressure and they melt. but that does not mean that every deep sea animal must expand, explode or melt with lower pressure. it's just very unlikely that something like this would evolve
Maybe you just got older and realized it all fake user
That would be extremely painful
It's incredibly generic and the action is fucking dreadful. It simultaneously rips off Transformers while being uninteresting to watch
I've heard bitches complain that it rips off Alien. but Transformers? how?
The only remotely scary monsters were stop motion ones with animated effects layered on top of them.
All the awful slow motion while literally using the same sound effects that Transformers uses in those sequences. And the excessively bad editing/shot composition during the action scenes to obscure what's actually happening
congrats, you just have described thousands of movies
>expect lovecraftian kino
>get basic action flick
I mean it wasn't that bad. but it could've way fucking better
What a fucking terrible attempt at deflecting. Let me guess, you're a Nolan fan and every director makes terrible mistakes like pic related?
>it could've way fucking better
true. but this kind of applies to every movie
>Let me guess, you're a Nolan fan
lol. the only Nolan movie I like is Dark Knight but only because of Joker performance. Batman is such a boring and stupid character
puppets are SOUL
I liked it user.
Lmao imagine being such a brainlet
true but they have charm and immerse you into the world. cgi is just ugly screen cancer for people with double digit IQs
he slipped on the ice dumby
>cgi is just ugly screen cancer for people with double digit IQs
good cgi you literally cant tell apart from reality except when it depicts something impossible
Best undersea kino in forever. Don't listen to haters, they literally don't know what they want.
I enjoy it
but main girl has no curve, do you think they pick her to imitate Alien 1?
And the bunny plush? That was fucking stupid. At first, I thought they had no money for a real bunny so they were just pretending.
Maybe I'm an autistic retard, but I still think the puppets in "The Thing" look so much better than any cgi monster I've seen.
"I turned up and he immediately called for his nanny to take the babies to another room to play," she noted. "I went to go with them and he said 'No, you wait here.'"
Weinstein allegedly shut the door and repeatedly called Stewart a "c***" for ruining his premiere by wearing a white suit.
"I had no idea what he was talking about and started to shake," she wrote. "He said, 'If I am throwing a red carpet you get in a tight dress, you shake your a** you shake your t***, you do not go down it looking like a f****** lesbian you stupid f****** c***.'"
Stewart said she "burst into tears."
"I tried to say 'Harvey, the city just had a bomb, people are still looking for their relatives, none of us even felt the premiere was appropriate much less coming out dressed like it’s a bachelor party.' He said, 'I don’t care — it’s my f****** premiere and if I want p**** on the red carpet that’s what I get.'"
I'm pretty much in the same boat, torrented it due to the shilling and it was surprisingly enjoyable. It exceeded my expectations, I was expecting a 3/10 and it was instead a 6/10, a fun little movie that I enjoyed but that probably won't stick with me.
this, it's shit.
Is this autism?
>your face when you know you dun goofed being a simp for the last time
>What did you think about it?
It's ok. I liked it. Got exactly what I expected.
How have you guys been able to watch it?
All the kinoteques are closed because of the outbreak.
Good bits:
>Opening destruction of the station was creepy (when Stewart is staring at the ceiling during the rumbles and leaks)
>Footkino
>The atmosphere before the reveal of the first baby creature
>Overall aesthetic of the suits, station etc
>Did feel genuinely claustrophobic at times
Bad bits:
>Too little too late, by the time Stewart makes the long walk across the sea bed I just stopped caring
>Uninspired/bland monster designs
>Weird notes in the Captain's locker were never explained or explored
>Big monster only stomps around for five minutes and we don't even get much of a good look
>TJ Miller
>Could've done so much more with the Lovecraftian potential (include monoliths, deep sea ruins etc, even just make some characters go insane)
>Drags to a halt the moment Stewart is on her own before making the walk
>Overuse of slow mo
>Action outside of the station is far too dark and blurry to follow (I know it's at the bottom of the ocean bit they could've been more creative with floodlights, helmet lights etc)
I really wanted to love it as the premise is right up my alley but it's just too slow and underwhelming.
I enjoyed it, too. I wish there had been more of a supernatural aspect, though.
Me too, but here's the deal:
They work so well for the Thing because looking unnatural and off-putting plays into the body horror aspects to a fantastic degree. You look at it and are immediately repulsed because that monstrosity used to be a person. The deep-sea kino that takes the best advantage of that is Leviathan.
I believe that other monster horror can benefit from a mixture of practical effects and CGI augmenting each other, but you can't cheap out on it. You have to not only make the CGI photorealistic in the render, but also in how it integrates into the scene. I personally believe that's where CGI so often fails. Light plays off real objects, reflecting off them onto the surrounding objects and people. Most CGI teams don't even bother trying to achieve that effect, and even if we're not consciously aware of its absence, our brains are and calls fake.
The intelligence distribution of people who like this movie follows the Michael Bay curve.
the only thing that annoyed me was the fat guy from cloverfield sounding dumb like in every movie . he should only be in comedies
Why yes, I have never paid for a movie in my life. How could you tell?
The shock effect when they find this creature is great.

>thread #83 about this completely mediocre horror movie
Why?
i cant believe Yas Forums memed me into watching this
they spent their entire budget on overproduced CGI meanwhile nobody can act their way out of a plastic bag
if they just cut all of kstews lines, ESPECIALLY the voice overs, and just had her look shocked at X or confused at Y it would have been multitudes better
also youre not supposed to actually show the monsters, youre supposed to always have them in the dark and all you see is light reflecting off their eyes/teeth or a silhouette
seeing cthulhus dumb ass wings is so goofy
also the movie did NOT need a le randumb comedic teammember what the fuck is TJ miller doing in here
if the production matched the rest of the movies quality then it would have been an ok B movie but it looks so fucking good for some reason, it somehow makes the movie worse.
my thoughts exactly
I was forced to watch this movie during French class in school. what a fucking boring pointless movie why do people pretend it's good? la haine more like la shit
Didn't know Bondred was a fisherman
It was missing a first act so it wasn't immersive enough. They jumped to action too quickly
The problem with CGI is that you can tell 100% that it's not real. With practical effects it might not look exactly like an actual monster, but you can tell it actually exists in a very literal sense. When you see a CGI monster it just looks fake on a very fundamental level.

yeah, that one is legit better than any cgi, weirdly tangible
wasn't cthuhlu in the movie?
I dont get it. how does it feel any more real when it looks like an ugly plastic doll?
You don't need to go underwater to find monsters
youtu.be
Hey, you learned a new buzz word.
that's the scene where gordon's with him
you guys are fucking retarded, at least pretend you've seen the movies you meme
mediocre directing and terrible, terrible editing
should have done reshoots or can the whole thing is they were missing shots
half the time you don't know what the fuck is happening during actions scenes
Kstew and Cassel are great though, best part of the whole ordeal.
that's literally the only good part and strong idea of the whole movie, genericfag.
Keep movies short, get to the point, don't diddle on pointless shit, I'm not watching an underwater kino to get some generic drama shit. Aronofsky has been doing this since forever with great success.
