I don't know if the crew of underwater station DeepStar Six should worry so much about the monster they've loosed from a cave, when their own installations and security measures are so stupid - easily reached "flood" buttons, computers that spark at the hint of moisture, a computer that tells them to explode abandoned equipment, causing shockwaves that could destroy the base... DS6 is the THIRD underwater movie to come out in 1989 and surely the lesser one (and still, that Frankenstein's shark movie, The Meg, decided to steal from it). Basically, a bunch of TV faces try to survive creature attacks, and it would be fine if formulaic if only the creature made sense. But neither its size, nor the way it gets itself into final scare position are believable. The saving grace for me was Miguel Ferrer's energetic performance as the jerk who will doom us all. It's a trope, but he does it better than most and has a great meltdown. 2 years 11 months ago
