DeepStar Six (1989)
6/10
Meh, not very entertaining - Deep Incompetence below the surface
6 September 2018
Oh, what could have been. I mean, there is a germ of a story here, not an original story but at least a story. The Problems: - The first hour is mostly boring. Perhaps this is supposed to be "character development"? If so, it's not handled very well. No, still don't care about these people. - Most of the problems are caused by the sheer incompetence of the crew. I mean, WTF! Let's blow up a huge cavern. Of completely unknown size. Oookay. - Rescue plan? Naw, we don't need no rescue plan. - Whoops-a-daisy! I accidentally blew up a 20 megaton nuclear bomb. That's okay, I'm sure this happens all the time.

Okay, after these dunces screw up over and over, then we are finally treated to finally being properly introduced to the monster. At this point I'm almost rooting for the monster.

The Positives: - Decent production values. The sets are mostly believable.
