I like this kind of movie. Jaws, Deep Blue Sea, The Shallows... Use some creative story-telling, 3D characters, good photography, suspense and I'm there.
This didn't have those things. No characters to really feel or care about. So much of the camera-work lost in darkness, bubbles, and/or silt. At least one death seemed gratuitously cruel and lingering.
That said, there was some real suspense, and a few legit jumps. That saves it from zero or one stars. Very intense (if not completely believable) ending earned it an extra star.
