Underrated - here is the reason


This movie can easily be rated 7.
The problem is the end. It is so lame and unoriginal that in 5 minutes it ruins everything.
The film is good, nice dialogs and characters. Very good acting by most of the cast overcomes the not so good acting by the rest (no names).
Effects are good and the film is creepy in general.
But then comes the awful ending and the viewers feel disappointment, thus 4.3 rating.
Pitty, could've been a real cult.

P.S: Deep Rising is much entertaining anyway.

Agreed. The acting and some of the writing are premium. The characters are a bit thinly developed but I found I could deal with it. I especially liked Sutherland. I agree about the horrible ending; the ending is like 1/3 of the finished product as far as I'm concerned. I just find it unbelievable that far worse films get higher ratings and cult fanbases...
