Underwater
Alien under the sea, but more conventional, and with Predator sounds. There’s also a kaiju coming from a Breach, but no Jaegers. Deep Blue Sea without the funny stuff.
Technically there’s a comic relief guy, but it seems the other way around, it was retooled around the TJ Miller from Silicon Valley. He still references a lot of erudite shit, like Alice in Wonderland.
Every competent person dies by equipment failure, or gets wasted by Underwater Slendermen. The kaiju doesn’t kill anybody. The sub-rosa loverbirds get away, but with a complete cover up by the company. At least they do get together.
Kristen is truly underused in here, as is the other girl from The Matrix Resurrections. Vincent Cassel does his best Tom Skeritt impression.
This is my place for ramblings about sequences of images that exploit the human visual limitation know as persistence of vision.
