Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. Underwater knows its audience.
“Even the credits needed a rewrite.”

I've seen screen savers with more depth and fewer unnecessary lens flares than Underwater.

If Underwater was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Underwater thinks "scary" means turning the lights off and slamming a kitchen drawer.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Underwater?
Director clearly thought Underwater was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Hot Take: Underwater's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Look, I wanted to love Underwater. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Unpopular opinion: Underwater is the most overrated film of the decade
Just got out of Underwater and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

The cinematography in Underwater is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Rewatched Underwater last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
