Day 12Reflections on: Underwater (2020)Prepare to go deep and get wet with Kristen Stewart. I’m SO SORRY.Our leading lady does her best homage to Ellen Ripley of Alien (1979) by stripping down to her underwear as often as possible despite being many kilometres below sea level. I don’t understand it, but I support her choice to do so. It’s almost like her sports bra is its own character.Kristen Stewart wears glasses that are WAY too big for her head (see above).She’s also looking Ripley-esque à la Alien³ (1992) with her buzzed and bleached hair. She must have bleached it pretty recently. Did she do that… at the bottom of the ocean? Again I don’t get it, but I respect her.There isn’t a ton of story established or characters introduced before it launches into disaster mode.Known badman TJ Miller plays a creep who unnecessarily refers to Stewart’s character as a “sweet flat-chested elven creature”, carries around a stuffed animal (see above), and quotes Alice in Wonderland. BARF. Why is it a convention to always have an annoying character in movies like this? Is it so we’re relieved when they inevitably die? Don’t worry HE DIES!Characters repeatedly whip off their diving helmets impossibly quickly and often. It stressed me out.Kristen Stewart’s classic acting hallmarks fit in perfectly to this high tension scenario: rapid blinking, tiny head shakes, and clenched jaw. She also falls down a lot in this, which often seems to be an excuse for the camera to ogle her butt in her tiny bikini underwear. SPOILER: the alien (?) creatures look like a combination of sloths, axolotls, and creatures from the black lagoon. They also look suspiciously like xenomorph chestbursters in their larval stage.I’d say only watch this if you are a big Kristen Stewart fan. -- source link
