UNDERWATER | FAMILY MOVIE REVIEW INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND KIDS

"UNDERWATER"
(2020) (Kristen Stewart, Vincent Cassel) (PG-13)

QUICK TAKE:: Sci-Fi/Action: Surviving members of a mostly destroyed undersea mining operation try to make their way to safety, but must contend with previously unknown deep-sea creatures hunting them down.

PLOT:: Norah Price (KRISTEN STEWART) is an engineer working on the Kepler deep-sea mining operation located more than six miles down in the Mariana Trench of the Pacific Ocean. Without notice, an earthquake strikes, causing part of the station to implode. Just she and coworker Rodrigo Nagenda (MAMOUDOU ATHIE) survive that, but do manage to save another worker, Paul Abel (T.J. MILLER), while making their way through the wreckage. They eventually meet up with Captain Lucien (VINCENT CASSEL) and two other survivors -- Emily Haversham (JESSICA HENWICK) and Liam Smith (JOHN GALLAGHER JR.) -- only to learn all of the escape pods are gone.
With no other option, and fully understanding the dangers of what he's going to suggest, Lucien proposes that they travel down to a lower level, make their way through a long tunnel, and then walk the rest of the way across the seafloor to another underwater facility where they'll hopefully find enough escape pods to reach the surface. But as they begin their journey, they discover that they're not alone, as previously unknown deep-sea creatures begin to hunt them down.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?: The undersea monster angle might draw in some, while fans of Kristen Stewart or anyone else in the cast might also be interested.

WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13: For sci-fi action and terror, and brief strong language.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
