Sometimes, B-movies can escape reality and mimic they had decent budget and so on. This is not such a movie. The story is there, but it is kneecapped by a overall feeling of cheapness. It's a shame, a few nudges up and it would have been a reasonable good movie.

Great crime thriller

Not perfect, but great movie overall. If at the end you have the feeling you're only 45 mins in, the movie did what it was supposed to do.
I could whine about some details not so plausible, but they never break the story. So great work for the whole crew.

Over the top in an annoying way
12 April 2020
Everything is over the top in this movie. It can work in a comedy, but here it mostly annoyed me.
They used fancy directing techniques, but feels soulless synthetic.
They hired cheap discounter music producers, trying a Dust Brothers score giving me a serious 'meh' feeling.

Limited budget done right.
My only negative point is, the script can't keep up the good promise it's building, in the final half hour. If these guys had the budget of one of the ultra boring new Star Wars movies, God knows what would have happened.
The blender references is actually a thumbs up. Take a bit of everything (horror, psychological and so on) and make it work. Love it.
The atmosphere is perfect, the entire movie, it's an art. The acting is good, not stellar, but nobody drags the movie down, so the entire cast delivers. Enjoyed it. CG are good and support the movie and it's not a movie build around CG.
Whoever did the music of the movie, I was sublime.

How much did the navy pay Hollywood for this movie?
23 July 2018
Every time an entity plays the self-glorification game; I feel aversion. Even if I were an American, I would dislike it. I don't mind a pro-navy movie, but if they can't stop bragging about themselves, things go downhill for me. The film could be so much more powerful if they didn't do that.

Could be better if it didn't push its message too hard

Above average fantasy & SF movie. Could be superb if it didn't push it's message too hard. I don't mind a movie with a message. But at times, Cameron pushes the message too hard and it feels like Greenpeace forced him to do it with a gun pointed at his head. It reminds me of the forced learning of the catechesis, that one didn't make much of a difference too.
