From my favorite movies..

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This is such a blatant ripoff it is almost laughable. But instead of a 747 and an all-star cast, we get a poorly done space shuttle and really bad actors, screenwriters, etc... The space shuttle (or any other aircraft, for that matter) would not survive a dunk so deep that a DSRV would be needed. It would crush like a Coors can before 300 ft. Any shallower than that, and the astronauts could just don space suits and swim to the surface. This was a really stupid idea for a movie plot (especially since it had been done before, and a lot better...)If this flick ever makes it to TV, the best part of it will be the commercials.

The famous physicist, Wolfgang Pauli, once described students physics paper as "It's not even wrong". That describes this movie. Now I don't demand absolute technical accuracy in the movies I enjoy. I'm not one of those who freak out because space ships make noise in the vacuum of space. But when they make a movie about real life things, like the space shuttle for instance, I expect at last half an attempt to make it believable. A summary of glaring inaccuracies. Don't worry, while some may call these spoilers, there's nothing here to spoil...When the shuttle attempts an RTL (Return to Launch) abort, they do a nose over, a half a barrel roll and then attempt a turn to starboard....uh, with the external fuel tank still attached and the main engines firing. Uh, NO.When they do jettison the external fuel tank, the main engines continue firing for time and then later shut down. Sorry, the space shuttle doesn't carry any internal fuel.When they find they can't make it back to launch point, NASA instructs them to do a trans-Atlantic crossing and land in Europe. They inform NASA they can't because they've lost their main engines. What, they were going to fly it across the Atlantic like an airplane? And then there's the ditching in the ocean, and the shuttle sinks to the bottom. Yes, the shuttle is built to be air tight, but its designed to hold pressure in, not out. Put that thing under water and it would get crushed like a beer can.When it appears that the oxygen supply, which was enough to keep them alive for days in space, will only last a few hours under water, they need a way to escape. So they turn to the satellite they were carrying into orbit. The plan? Get into the satellite, jettison it, and let it take them to the surface. Space and weight are at an absolute premium on satellites. They don't have room for people inside, and even if they did, it's certainly not pressurized with an air supply. Oh, and a ten ton satellite definitely won't float. A friend of mine works for a company that builds satellites. I'll have to ask him how deep they test them under water.And this all says nothing about the acting, or lack of therein. Dale Midkiff appears to put all his energy into convincing the world that he's a real bad boy. The only thing bad is his acting. The good news is, he's the high point in this stink bomb.Basically this move is just silly. A total waste of time.To put in simply, this movie is just silly.

One of the worst movies I have seen this year and I have seen many. Riddled with technical errors, a space shuttle ditches beneath the surface of the ocean and the crew must somehow survive and get out.Shuttle has a submarine depth gage! Do submarines have airplane altimeters? Interior doors all lock one way only. I guess the shuttles are designed this way so crew can lock themselves in for some "private time" from sexual encounters like hiding the salami to just a good old session of pouting and crying.Love triangle ensues aboard the shuttle. God help us. Too much time spent on social relations in the abyss instead of survival. Can't they find enough astronauts on the program that just wanna fly the mission and leave their love interests on earth? Heroin goes up with long bangs dangling by face, probably got caught in the shuttle's transmission. No wonder they ditch.This movie was so bad I had to watch the whole thing to see how retarded it could get with this cast of basic nobodies. Take a peek but remember you'll never get that time back in your life. Time not well wasted.

Let me just say, I only saw the last 45 minutes of this, but I freaking loved it. A great idea, because let's face it, a space ship underwater is cool. Also great acting. I smell sequel. I was kicking myself for not tuning in sooner and therefore seeing the whole movie. Plus I was in China when I saw it so I didn't even know what channel I was watching. But like I said, this movie was great. I was about to go to bed, but just five minutes hooked me and I watched till the end. A great time. I would recommend this movie to any of my friends, as it is definitely one that can be watched more than once. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when I find this movie for purchase, I will in fact do so, and then not only watch it from the beginning but invite my friends to do so as well.
