Simply put: this is a film about adventure, not monsters. When I see a lot of bad-minded people watching monster movies in the comment section, but they can't see it, they don't have to belittle it, and they give low marks casually. First of all, I think that people who don't watch a movie calmly are not qualified to judge a movie, so you can ignore their brief comments.
Secondly, the film is introduced: the film begins with a narrative method to introduce us to the abyss, the exploration of the cave, including its dangers and the very high requirements for the diver's skills and physical mentality.
Then the plot of the movie progresses gradually, and you feel a sense of substitution by letting the main actors come into contact slowly.
Simple comment: The rhythm of the movie is tight, the plot is attractive throughout, and the plot where the main character encounters danger often appears, and the competent and even brilliant soundtrack makes the audience feel thrilling almost throughout the whole process.
(The first 10 minutes are for shooting the scene, if you are in a hurry, you can fast-forward. Watching slowly later will surely let you gradually deepen into it.)
If you are calm enough to watch this movie carefully, you will find that the director pays great attention to it. Details, the occurrence of anything, the accidental death of the expedition personnel, the director has fully foreshadowed. So that you don't think you're watching a movie with a messy plot.
When you see the end of the movie, you will find that light and air are essential things for people, making you more sensitive to them.

Finally, in response to the title, this is a rare good movie with at least 8 points. From the soundtrack, to the acting skills of the leading actors, to the rendering of the plot atmosphere, it is completely enough for this score.
There are other areas for improvement:
1. Female 1 told the male protagonist's father to let your son do it. When he has this ability and is very strong, he personally feels that he needs to show the audience's reaction to the male protagonist, but the movie directly Let the male protagonist's father agree, it seems that some things have been edited out.
2. In the section where the male protagonist's father was killed, at least three or more close-ups were given to the bamboo shoot-shaped stone. Personally, I think the audience should not be stupid, and two should be enough.
3: Personal suggestions for improvement
It is suggested that the male protagonist finally finds the exit by relying on the light stick underwater after everyone is dead, and suddenly the light stick loses its light, and the male protagonist falls into darkness in an instant. At this time, the film gives about 3-4 seconds of darkness. Time, (maybe some viewers think it's too long/) but if it were me, I would choose to give a few more seconds to render the male protagonist's loneliness and nervousness at the moment.
4: It is recommended to improve
the male protagonist's father when he is unable to act because of a teammate in distress, and when they have to leave, choose to give the teammate a pleasure and drown him. Part of this plot is probably too far-fetched (think: he can still be rescued, maybe move him to a rock, maybe he's lucky to survive) this part should insert some elements explaining why he was drowned, or let Teammates decide their own destiny by blinking their eyes (or it means that he doesn't even have the ability to blink)
, and a clever director should insert some memories of the hero's father: for example, some of the former hero's father's teammates also encountered this situation, There is only one purpose, to increase persuasion.
(In the end, I gave this movie 10 points, because there is no way, there are many people who are lowering the score for the low score, I can only choose to improve the score, 10 points is definitely too high, but there are a group of people who are holding back. ) after re-examining many details, I gave it a 7.5-8 rating. After all, there will be a gap between the moment of being infected after watching it and the judgment of calming down.

    The plot is average, but some common sense of diving and exploration methods are still very rewarding. Also, the picture is really beautiful~~

    I have been looking forward to seeing the monster, but I have never seen it
