Made me want to see this movie.
That review is lying. Don't waste your money.
Underwater is just another humourless jump scare flick inhabited by lifeless, unsympathetic characters that plays out more like a workprint with temp score; and I use the word "score" very loosely here, because Beltrami is once again working out of the sound effects department.
As dumb and derivative as they are, Leviathan, Deepstar Six and Deep Rising are all objectively superior monster movies; at least they all tried telling somewhat involving stories involving personable characters involved in entertaining, suspenseful events, and all with the obvious aim of providing audiences an amusing genre romp.
Conversely, Underwater is just a vacuous bore starring a vacant-eyed Kristen Stewart and, probably has a gambling problem, Vincent Cassel.

Back in 2018 Ramin Djawadi was listed as the composer, and IMDb showed other credits like the orchestra contractor. Probably recorded it.
The film has been doomed composer wise for years.

joan, keep in the thoughtful reasoning of Spinmeister, and then remember Thor thinks "A.I." is a masterpiece.

Admitting it is the first step. ;-)

Hey Ado, look what I just found in a review. (Yeah, Ripley.)
"The opening shot of “Underwater” roves around the empty, industrial passageways of some kind of transport vessel, the walls creaking. Motivated by an unknown force, the camera’s pan ultimately lands on Norah (Kristen Stewart), who has cropped bleached hair and a mouthful of toothpaste, clad in her skivvies. Immediately the audience recognizes this will be Stewart’s “Ripley moment,” paying homage to Sigourney Weaver’s iconic role in Ridley Scott’s “Alien” (but at the bottom of the Mariana trench, rather than in outer space)."

I did not waste my money seeing this movie. It is certainly a relentless, action-packed movie. Sometimes a creature or alien is just part of the survival equation, and this movie was a survivalist movie. Seemed to me that drowning, oxygen, nuclear meltdown, and pressure from over 6 miles of water up above the characters were also very important factors the characters had to deal with in order to survive.
Sure, there were clichés here and there, but it had a few scares, and I liked the 6 characters who were trying to solve the big problem of how to live.
Yes, the music was some sound design and certainly scary.
