Forgettable and predictable, but with a good cast and some fun special effects.

Okay effects, good performances, and just a little more than the FDA- recommended daily minimum allowance of mindless entertainment and chills.

Cheesy underwater monster movie that, for some reason, I have a perverse enjoyment of.
