Beltrami's one of my absolute favourite composers but listening to this score (out of context admittedly) I think it's one of the weakest of his career. Bland, uninventive sound design. I actually couldn't make it all the way through. Also, I can't stand this recent trend of his scores mostly being co-written with others - nearly all of which have been (coincidentally?) mediocre. Does he even write anything independently any more?!!? The Emperor of Paris, mediocre? Listen that score and said that again.

Actually, i was able to see the movie in my country. It was entertaining, well-paced and good visuals, and the music growth on me since i saw the movie in the theatre.

Well, I saw this last night, before it disappeared forever from the Silver Screen. It's not terrible, just very run of the mill and you feel you've seen it all before, either in other underwater thrillers (THE ABYSS, SPHERE, DEEP RISING, LEVIATHAN, DEEPSTAR SIX) or outer space ones (ALIEN, OUTLAND). They all came to mind while watching this. It's well made and the characters aren't horrible, so that was nice. K-Stew exudes a certain sexual attraction (often running around in her skimpies, ala Ripley, with her well-toned body), despite her best efforts to look like a teenage boy!!* What this film would have REALLY benefited from though, would have been a musical score in line with the above noted films. The beeps and bloops and throbs and static feedback sound design it gets robs the film of any real emotional impact. I really hate this modern day scoring sound. It's just dead in the water (pun intended). *and PLEASE don't read into that, that I have a sexual attraction to teenage boys!!!

They all came to mind while watching this. Yes, I don't expect it to be anything more than that. But it's my favourite genre of movies, and I could watch endless carbon copies of this premise. But also, I'm a fan of director William Eubank. His LOVE is excellent (an existential drama set on a space station), as is THE SIGNAL. Both of those have had a more 'arty' angle, perhaps, so I'm very curious to see him in a more straightforward genre film, much like Rian Johnson or Gareth Edwards when they moved from visionary indie sci fi like LOOPER and MONSTERS to STAR WARS and GODZILLA and whatnot.

It reminded me of that recent space thriller LIFE. Another well-made, but highly derivative film. But tremendously entertaining

Finally got to see this a couple of hours ago, and had a real blast with it! It's a great ride, and I got far more into it than I expected to going in. Kristen makes such a great, grounded lead, and it didn't play out as predictably as I would have guessed. Yep, really really happy I decided to see it now rather than wait for home viewing. I probably wouldn't buy the whole score, but there were three pieces in the latter half of the film that really worked and stood out for me, including what I now find is "Shake It Off" - it felt like the synths were ready to turn into the loop from Baba O'Riley at one point. So I'll probably selectively buy the downloads.
