Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a science-fiction horror film: "Underwater"
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
The movie begins at Kepler, a drilling facility operated at the bottom of the Mariana Trench
This is where we find Norah, a mechanical engineer, brushing her teeth and contemplating her life
The lights in the bathroom start flickering, and she hears strange noises
While walking down the hallway, something drips from above her,
followed by an explosion that sends her running
She screams for everyone to wake up as there's been a pressure breach;
and everybody needs to evacuate to the bulkhead
On her way, she comes across her colleague Rodrigo, who follows after her
They work on sealing the bulkhead to make sure that the rest of the rig won't implode
A couple of guys scream for them to wait, running to catch up before they seal it
Realizing that the guys won't make it, Rodrigo tells Norah to close the door,
otherwise everyone will die
Closing her eyes, Norah pushes on the button just in time
After regaining their consciousness, Rodrigo asks if it was an earthquake
Norah admits she doesn't know
They're unable to radio anyone,
as the system announces that the station is 70% compromised and the reactor is unstable
They have to act quickly, so Norah informs Rodrigo that they need to get to the pod bays
They head for the directory, where Norah works on finding the nearest functioning pod bays
She's shaking, trying to keep her focus
Rodrigo watches and notices her shaking
He reassures her that she did the right thing by closing the door to save the entire rig
Without her, everyone would have died
The station continues to shift; and he asks if she really thinks it's an earthquake
This time Norah shakes her head
She then announces that they have to go to CR-7 for the evacuation pods
On their way to CR-7, Norah hears someone calling for help
She turns around to look for the survivor, and finds Paul buried under some debris
He's still breathing and in one piece
as Rodrigo and her work on helping him out, he hands over 'Lil' Paul', a stuffed rabbit
They continue on to CR-7
As they're crawling through the wreckage, they come across the body of their colleague
Norah stops for a moment taken aback
She moves the body to the side and continues crawling
They finally reach the pod bay,
where Norah finds their captain just sitting in the middle of the room
She swears when she realizes that all the evacuation pods are gone,
which means that their captain willingly stayed behind
When he finally takes notice of the three, Captain walks up to them
He informs Norah that the door's jammed,
while he orders Paul and Rodrigo to check where they are on the submersible
After getting the door open, she updates him about the situation of the rig,
admitting that things are really bad
He asks Norah to sit so that he can look at her injuries
She demands why he stayed behind, and argues that he should've gone up
He tells her that staying behind is what captains do;
but she tells him that nobody cares, especially when he has a kid
He tells her to stop, and reassures her that everybody's getting out alive
After checking on Norah, Captain sends her to the control room
There she comes across Emily, their biologist, and Smith,
another fellow engineer and a good friend of Norah
Emily begs for reassurance from Norah that the company's sending someone their way
Captain answers for her, telling Emily that he's pretty sure someone has already been sent,
but the problem is they most likely don't have the time to wait around
Norah reports that they've lost the cooling towers,
which means that the core of the Kepler's is completely unstable
They have about 30 minutes until meltdown,
which would blow them into tiny pieces back to the surface
Captain proposes they head for Roebuck, which is another station a mile from where they are
There they can use the station's evacuation pods instead
They ask him how they'll get there; and he suggests they walk
Everyone overreacts,
since this will mean walking a mile across the ocean floor in pressurized suits
Captain gives them the step-by-step of what they're going to do
They'll drop down to the seafloor using the cargo elevator,
use the access tunnel to get to the Midpoint station,
where they can charge and clean their rebreathers,
before they follow the markers to cross the plateau to Roebuck
Paul points out the flaw in Captain's plan,
which is essentially walking through pitch-black darkness,
without knowing where they're going with insufficient oxygen
Captain agrees with Norah that they might die if they follow his plan;
but he challenges her to admit that they may live doing it as well
With no other options, the group follows his plan
They head below deck to suit up
Quietly freaking out, Emily asks if anyone's been out there longer than fixing a pipe;
and Norah acknowledges it's never been done before
Captain advises everyone to find six good helmets
Rodrigo locates one with a hairline crack
He calls Norah and hands over a helmet
She walks over to Captain to help him out with his suit, especially since his left arm's on a cast
As soon as everyone's ready, they head over to the deck
Before their descent, Smith stares at their equipment table
Paul approaches him to ask what he's thinking
He confesses that he didn't like the sound they heard from the transmission,
and reaches for one of the wireless power drills
Paul thinks it's a valid point, and takes one for himself as well
During their descent, Norah and Rodrigo notice the crack on his helmet growing
It turns out he had taken the defective helmet for himself, and handed Norah a good one instead
When they reach the level they're supposed to get off,
Norah tells the group to keep the door closed, but it's too late
With the defective helmet, Rodrigo implodes
Emily screams in fright, while Norah walks away from the elevator to take a breath,
realizing what Rodrigo did for her
On the cargo elevator, Norah tells Captain that she knows Rodrigo knew the helmet he had was faulty
He comforts her verbally without using his muscles,
admitting that he knows it feels unfair, but she has to take it and use it
Norah agrees, and they continue on
As they continue with their descent now on the cargo elevator,
Emily opens up that she has never seen anyone die before
Paul tells her that he has, but then concedes that he didn't see anyone implode before
He then laughs and shares with the group Rodrigo's favorite joke,
"What did the fish say when it bumped into the brick wall? Dam "
This earns a tiny snort from Emily
Smith notices a distress signal from one of the evacuation pods
Captain tells them that it could be a survivor, and informs the guys that somebody has to suit up
Smith and Paul go together
When they're outside, Paul reports that the platform is unstable,
and informs Captain that he's not sure how long they should be out there
When they finally find the evacuation pod, Paul theorizes that it imploded
It's covered in some weird algae or seaweed that the group's not familiar with
Upon further inspection, Paul spots a body entangled in the coils
Norah speaks up that the two should come back; but they push forward
Paul notices something on the body's back that seems to be moving
Captain calls for the guys to come back;
but Paul's too fascinated with whatever's on the back of the body
Out of nowhere, the alien-like creature jumps toward Paul
Fortunately, Smith has his wireless power drill, and shoots it down
Back at the cargo elevator, Emily inspects the alien-like creature,
and speculates that it's probably a new species coming out of a hydrothermal pocket,
that they may have drilled
The system then goes offline, and they lose control of everything
As Norah's working on disengaging the elevator, the group hears a loud monstrous groan
Everybody stops for a minute to listen
Turning to the creature that's on the table, Paul asks if it's possible that it's a baby,
and whatever's outside is its guardian
As something moves about outside the elevator, Paul closes the door to the depressurizing chamber
While the group's looking at the ceiling window, an alien-like creature attacks it
Everybody screams
While trying to figure out what it was, they see an explosion
The Kepler's core has finally exploded,
which immediately cuts the line that's connecting the elevator
Captain rushes everyone to the pressure chamber,
instructing them that they have to open the outside hatch before they hit the seafloor,
or they'll get crushed
The group struggles, but successfully escapes the cargo elevator,
with Captain screaming for them to run to safety
With Debris falling everywhere, Smith gets hit by a huge piece of junk from the station
They help him up; and Captain urges everyone to head for the pipeline entrance
They make it safely without further incident
In the Midpoint station access tunnel, Norah identifies the problem with Smith's pressurized suit
His oxygen scrubber took a hit; and he inhaled some fumes, but it should be fine
Paul loses it a little,
as he tries to get the conversation back to the alien-like creature they saw before the explosion
Captain asks Paul to stop and orders Norah to call the mover
They get on it, which should take them to the Midpoint station itself
Before they can go further, Captain tells Paul to stop the mover,
when he realizes that they're about to go into deep water that the mover won't be able to handle
Norah thinks that the pumps are jammed, which is why the water's stagnant
They hear something chittering outside; and Paul repeats that something's following them
The group pushes forward
They come across an obstruction a couple of feet away
Captain suggests they find another way; but Norah offers to check it out since she's the smallest
After a couple of minutes, Norah swims through the other side without any problem,
and finds that they can continue on
She encourages the others to follow, assuring them it'll be tight, but they can definitely do it
One by one they swim to the other side, with Paul going last
However, without their knowledge, something's already inside the tunnel with them
When Paul turns, he catches a glimpse of something diving into the water
Without waiting for the signal from the group, Paul immediately follows after Smith
The group successfully pulls Paul towards them;
but there's something wrong with his line as he tugs on it
Norah tells Smith to unclip him
but before they can do anything, something pulls Paul back
While panicking, Paul hands over Lil' Paul,
and begs for them to give him his helmet,
since whatever's on the other side is trying to pull him back underwater
After a brief tug and pull, the creature breaks off Paul's left leg,
and rips him out of his pressurized suit
Emily screams as the rest of the group runs to get out of the water
At the Midpoint station, Captain attempts to reach those on the surface,
informing them where they are
They need help soon since the Roebuck's heavily damaged as well;
and they have no idea how long it'll last
Smith wonders out loud how the drill was ripped apart when it weighed 6000 tons
Emily whispers that they take it too much by drilling at the bottom of the ocean,
and the ocean is taking things back
She ends her reverie by stating that they shouldn't be down there
Captain tries to regroup the team, reminding them that they can't stay
Emily mentions Smith's pressurized suit, which Captain offers to check out
Smith states that the suit is not gonna make it
He tries to convince Norah to leave him, or else he'll be dead weight
But she refuses
They then head for Roebuck
On their way, Norah stops when she notices something in the darkness
Captain asks her what she saw; but she doesn't know what to say
Another minute passes; and Norah accidentally flashes the alien-like creature with her flashlight,
which makes it groan like a girl and swim past them
This time everybody sees it
Captain instructs Emily to set Smith down,
as they try to get a bearing on what the alien-like creature is and how to fight it
They hear another noise
This time Captain tells them to turn their lights off, while he switches to infrared
He sees something standing behind Norah
When she turns towards it, it swims away
This is when they notice that Smith's gone, which sends them into another panic
Emily screams when they finally see the alien-like creature dragging Smith into a cave
Captain volunteers to go after them
He finds and takes Smith back to the girls
He tells them he needs to go back to get the wireless power drill
The alien-like creature grabs Captain as he reaches the tool,
and takes him with it, dragging Norah as well since Captain is clipped to her
A struggle ensues
Captain fights off the alien-like creature with a knife
In anger, it grabs onto him to drag him down a shaft
Norah holds on tight to Captain as they get pulled deeper
However, the pressure's rising too fast, which will kill them both
Captain tells her to let go; but she refuses, not wanting to lose any more muscular people
To rescue Norah, Captain cuts himself off instead
When Norah regains consciousness, she realizes she's close to Shepard Drill,
which is another expeditionary unit that they completely disregarded earlier, since it's abandoned
Wanting to live for everybody who died trying to get out,
she finds a flare gun in one of the containers, as well as another pressurized suit that she can use
She checks the map she finds, to make sure she's going the right way towards Roebuck
She keeps her comms open, talking and hoping to reach Emily and Smith
Following the markers down the southeast line,
she hears Emily's voice through the comms talking to Smith,
admitting that she has hormone feelings for him
For some reason, Emily can't hear her, so Norah tackles her from behind
After their reunion, they help each other drag Smith towards safety
Before they can reach the Roebuck, they come across a nest of alien-like creatures,
blocking their way to the station
They try to sneak by,
but accidentally wake one of them when Emily's pressurized suit lets out a low oxygen warning
Norah encourages Emily to take Smith and go
But she's snatched up by one of the creatures
As it's trying to devour her whole, Norah fires off the flare gun,
and kills the creature before it can finish the job
However, the noise awakens the other creatures
As they prepare to attack her, their whole nest moves, which confuses Norah
She fires the last flare into the distance, and towards the direction the nest went
This is when she notices that
the alien-like creatures seem to be the spawn of what appears to be Cthulhu
Emily comes back for Norah, and drags her inside the station
They hurry to get to the evacuation pods with the Roebuck's imminent meltdown as well,
since Cthulhu starts attacking it
However, Norah discovers that only two out of the three pods are functioning
The girls convince Smith to take the first one;
and Norah hands over Lil' Paul to give to Paul's parents
With Smith safe, Emily offers to go last, and let Norah take the second pod
She refuses, and that's when Emily notices the last pod is defective
She fights Norah, wanting to stay and help her fix it
Norah punches her, and forces Emily to take the second pod and restore her hormonity with Smith
Accepting her fate, Norah goes back to Roebuck's control room,
where she realizes that the spawns of Cthulhu's chasing after the two pods
Emily and Smith are still in danger
She decides to quicken Roebuck's meltdown,
and overload the nuclear core to make a massive explosion,
that'll definitely kill her, Cthulhu, its spawns, while ensuring the other two's safety
The movie ends with a couple of news montages relaying that Emily and Smith are safe,
and their interviews regarding the incident are deemed classified
the company that owns the drilling facilities refuses to cooperate with authorities
However, they plan to resume drilling as soon as possible
