Welcome to Movie Shortens. Follow us today to a 2020 American science fiction horror film called:
Underwater. Before we start, be aware: there are spoilers!
As we are introduced to this film, we are greeted with the sight of the Kepler Station,
an underwater mining facility. Inside, Mechanical Engineer Norah Price is in
the bathroom getting ready for her shift. Norah notices a spider in the sink and lets it
go on the wall. Her mirror opens, which she promptly closes. She hears water running and
goes to investigate while getting dressed. Norah notices a leak above her and is jolted into
action by water breaking through the walls. She races through the halls alerting other
crew members as she goes. She meets up with fellow crewman Rodrigo /rod-ree-go/ who is
also fleeing and they continue to run. They work together to seal the bulkhead,
but it is jammed. Norah opens up the keyboard and gets systems online. Other crew members try to
run to their position, but Rodrigo tells her they won't make it and she has to seal their door.
She hesitates but seals the door at the last second.
Just then, a sudden impact knocks both Norah and Rodrigo off their feet
and renders them unconscious. Injured but alive, Norah slowly sits
up in shock. Rodrigo does the same as they get to their feet. Norah tries to radio for help,
but is unable to reach anyone. Norah says they must get to the Pod
Base and leads the way to find it. Going through the wreckage, they reach their destination.
Norah and Rodrigo finally introduce themselves as Norah works to reset breakers
and locate the nearest pods. Norah accesses a terminal as Rodrigo
tries to reassure her she did the right thing by sealing the door when needed.
Rodrigo wonders if an earthquake was the cause of the incident, and Norah disagrees.
She locates evacuation pods in CR-7, and they begin to head in that direction.
Making their way through the wreckage, they crawl until Norah hears the voice of Paul Abel
under some rubble. Norah lifts the rock off of Paul, and Rodrigo helps her pull Paul out.
All three crawl through the narrow gap and Norah is frightened by a dead body. They move forward
and eventually reach the pod bay. Norah looks inside and sees Captain
Lucien/LOO-shen/, but also notices all the evacuation pods are already gone.
Norah gets his attention and he informs her the door is jammed.
She goes to fix the issue while Lucien asks Rodrigo and Paul to check on things elsewhere.
The door is opened and Norah tells Lucien that the facility is 70% compromised.
She asks why he stayed behind and he simply states that's what a captain does. She insists
he should have gone, and he insists that everyone is going to get out of the situation alive.
They tally up the number of crew evacuated, and those
dead as Lucien tends to Norah's injuries. Shortly after, Norah is sent to the Control Room,
meeting Emily and Liam. Emily asks Norah if help is on the way, and Lucien
theorizes that they are already on the way. Norah informs the group that all the upper decks
have collapsed, they have lost the cooling towers and the facility's thermal core is unstable.
Norah claims they have about 30 mins till the core melts down, and Lucien gives the group an
update of the terrible situation. He suggests they attempt to reach the Roebuck Station on foot.
Lucien lays out the plan of action, while Paul and Norah question this course of escape.
She thinks they might die during the escape, and he claims that they might live as well. Rodrigo
suggests the Shepherd station as an alternative, but Lucien states that it is gone.
Liam interrupts to share the last transmission from the facility's drill site.
They listen to the transmission as they hear a strange noise throughout.
They all begin to get equipped for the underwater trek, while
Emily stares at a faded picture of a sea monster. She asks if anyone has ever attempted what they
are doing, and Norah says no one has. They each get equipped and get ready for
descent. Liam and Paul arm themselves, while Liam reassures Emily that she can make the trek.
They descend into the water, but the exterior hatch won't open. Rodrigo's helmet cracks,
and as the door opens, his suit implodes. Norah makes her way out through the water
in shock, and stares into the black abyss in front of her.
She jumps down to a lower level and as they enter the cargo elevator,
she claims Rodrigo knew he had taken a faulty helmet after he gave her his working one.
They descend further down, the group notices something near their location on the monitor.
Lucien says it could be a survivor and one of the group has to attempt rescue.
Liam and Paul go out for the mission. As the group arrives, Emily asks if Norah
or Lucien are married. Lucien says he was, and has a daughter who is 14.
Norah corrects him, claiming the daughter is her age and jokes that Lucien is "losing it".
Liam and Paul venture out into the depths and find the pod. Liam hears something in the water,
but ignores it. Norah says the men are right on top of the pod, and they find it
destroyed with a sticky substance all over. Upon further inspection, they find a wallet and
dead body. Noah suggests Liam and Paul return inside. Paul takes a closer look at the body,
discovering deep injuries. A creature bursts out from the body, and Liam swiftly kills it.
Back inside the elevator, the group inspects the creature. Norah informs the group that they
are 200 meters from their destination. Emily looks over the creature's anatomy,
noting it doesn't have eyes and has talons. She claims it is a new species,
something she has never seen before in the sea. She goes on to explain they may have drilled
into a hydrothermal pocket that could support life, but is interrupted by a power outage.
They all hear a noise outside in the water. Something crashes into their elevator and
keeps on colliding. Paul goes to seal the room, as they finally see another creature
smash into a window above them. This causes them to break free from their cable
and quickly descend to the sea floor. They rush to the pressure chamber and rapidly gear up.
They exit the chamber, scrambling to escape the wreckage of their elevator. Norah is saved by Liam
who keeps her from being swept away. However Liam is hit by falling debris immediately after.
They eventually get inside the Access Tunnel, and swiftly attend to Liam. Lucien tells Norah to call
a mover cart, and she opens up a hatch door. The mover arrives and they ride it towards the
Midpoint Station. A little over halfway there they have to stop the mover due to high water.
They continue to hear the creature's moans and bangs as it follows them outside in the water.
They press on through the tunnel but come to see the path blocked. Norah volunteers to check
underneath for a path. She makes it across and the crew goes one after the other as well.
Paul is the last to cross under, but hears something behind him. The crew pulls him across
but he is attacked by the sea creature he had heard prior. Everyone tries to save him and pull
him back but he is killed and sucked away. Shortly after, the remaining crew reaches the
Midway Station, and Lucien radios for help but gets no response. Liam questions how the
facility's control got ripped up being so heavy. Emily blames the deep sea drilling to be at fault,
that they aren't supposed to be down there. Lucien says they can't stay at the station,
and checks up on Liam's equipment. His oxygen canister is ruined, and he tells
Norah they have to go without him. After a while, they all walk across
the seabed with Liam in tow. They reach marker 29, with Roebuck Station being at marker 0.
Norah looks around at all the damage, and catches sight of a sea monster. It appears again and
they turn off their suit lights to hide. Lucien scans the area to locate the monster
as it appears right behind Norah, and Liam suddenly disappears, being taken away.
They see him being dragged away, and Norah races after him. Lucien goes into a small hole
to rescue him, and Liam is eventually saved. However, Lucien tries to retrieve Liam's weapon,
and is attacked by the sea monster that took Liam. He is dragged out into the sea,
bringing Norah with him, who was his anchor. She ends up on top of a light structure with
Lucien underneath her. She crawls to free him, but sees the monster advancing on them.
It attacks her, trying to breach her suit. Lucien then attacks the creature to save her,
but they both end up being dragged further up into the sea.
With pressure levels at a dangerous limit, Lucien commands her to let go,
but she can't. He then detaches his arm, freeing Norah, right before his suit implodes.
Norah wakes up injured on the seabed, her suit badly damaged. She gets up only to see an octopus,
causing her to flee. She falls, but notices a pipeline that leads
her to the Shepherd Drill Station. She is alive, but alone as she showers
in a fetal position, shaking uncontrollably. She radios out for Liam and Emily, letting them know
her location, but she gets no response. She attempts again on different channels but
to no avail. She finds Lucien's locker and his uniform, and finds an obituary of his daughter,
Allie, who had indeed died at the age 14. Later on, Norah scrambles to search for more
equipment to make it out of her situation. She sees an old suit in a locker and begins to map
her way to Roebuck Station. She gathers more equipment and a flare gun and sets out.
She continues to radio to Emily and Liam, following the South East pipeline.
She hears a voice and follows it to finally find Emily again.
Emily says Liam is alive. Emily asks about Lucien, but Norah instead replies
they need to get Liam. They drag Liam along,
and they make conversation to distract from Emily's low oxygen levels. They continue on,
finally making it to the Roebuck Station. Norah sees some strange lights a short ways away and
tells Emily to turn her suit lights off. Norah realizes the Roebuck is infested with
sea monsters, but they are asleep. The group tries to cross without disturbing the creatures
but Emily's suit alarm goes off, warning of critical oxygen levels.
Nothing happens until Norah is blocked by one of the creatures. She tells Emily to take Liam
and go to the Roebuck. Norah is grabbed and attacked as it tries to eat her.
She eventually kills it, making her way to escape, but has awoken the rest of the monsters. She loads
up her flare gun, but the creatures suddenly retreat. Norah shoots up a flare to see a massive
creature above the Roebuck station. Norah turns to flee as it crushes part
of the pipeline, but is caught in the explosion and knocked unconscious.
Norah is saved by Emily, who drags her back to Roebuck and breaks Norah's helmet open.
They all rush to find the evacuation pods, and see the massive creature
outside. Doors are rapidly being sealed as the creature breaks the Roebuck apart.
They reach the pods, but Norah only finds two in working condition.
Norah opts not to tell the others and they load Liam into a pod and he ejects off.
Emily discovers something is wrong with the third pod and doesn't want to leave Norah.
Norah says there's no time and forces her into the pod, and Emily ejects.
Afterwards, Norah watches through the window as the enormous sea creature lurks while the
smaller monsters follow Emily and Liam. Norah accesses the facility's core terminal,
and sets the core to meltdown. She waits for detonation as the monster tries to escape
the impending blast. The core reactor blows,
killing the surrounding creatures. We then see news clippings that Liam and
Emily survived, and that their company is covering up details of the incident,
and that drilling is to soon resume. Like and Subscribe to watch more videos like this,
