I watched a few youtube videos about Underwater recently. I think because they reviewed other stuff so I was curious. Those videos also pointed out how Alien handled the characters versus Underwater. Which is a valid claim. But I think you also have to understand modern audiences that seem to want something to blow up every 10 or so minutes.
I think Underwater tried something different with the action right from the start and minimal character development. It's not the best with two characters that I mentioned in my review. Also with the main character's decision at the end. But there is an alternate better ending. And I think the director and studio should have overwritten the actor on that theatrical ending.
