Movie review: Kristen Stewart brings depth to 'Underwater,' a surprisingly slick bit of sci-fi schlock
No one will accuse "Underwater" of false advertising. At the start of this lean, efficient, unapologetically derivative deep-sea freakout, the camera drops seven miles beneath the ocean's surface, where an enormous drilling operation is in progress. The director, William Eubank ("The Signal"), doesn't have an original story to tell, but he does have a lot of immersive, atmospheric technique at his disposal: Here on the floor of the Pacific, the lighting is dim and diffuse, the sound eerily muted, the sense of isolation total. It would be difficult to survive
