Underwater Ending Explained

In the final scenes of “Underwater,” Norah Price, along with Liam Smith and Emily Haversham, embarks on a perilous journey to the Roebuck 641 facility after realizing there are no more escape pods in the Shepherd facility. Despite the impossibility of traversing the ocean floor due to the depth of the Mariana Trench, cinematic science and specialized suits enable them to make the one-mile trek. Their goal is to avoid the mysterious creatures that have been hunting them.

Price, determined to ensure the safety of her crewmates, discovers a nest of menacing aquatic creatures near the Roebuck’s entrance. The trio cautiously navigates through the creatures, with Haversham dragging the injured Smith. A scuffle ensues, but Price’s quick thinking with a flare gun allows them to escape. However, the creatures reveal the arrival of a colossal entity known as the Great One.

Upon reaching the facility, Price finds only two escape pods, each designed for a single passenger. Selflessly, she decides to sacrifice herself for the survival of the other two. After some reluctance, Haversham agrees, and Price launches the pods. The smaller creatures pursue the pods, prompting Price to use her engineering skills to overheat the facility’s core, turning Roebuck into a thermonuclear bomb. This apparent sacrifice annihilates the creatures, including the Great One, while Haversham and Smith reach the surface safely.

As the credits roll, newspaper clippings suggest that Tian Industries was aware of the creatures, using the drilling operations to investigate them. The potential for a sequel arises, revealing the conglomerate’s plans to expand drilling in the trench, hinting at undisclosed incidents beyond the events of the film.

Underwater Review

“On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, ‘Underwater’ has an approval rating of 48% based on 221 reviews, with an average rating of 5.30/10. The critical consensus states that the film’s strong cast and stylish direction aren’t enough to distract from the strong sense of déjà vu provoked by this claustrophobic thriller’s derivative story. On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 48 out of 100 based on 37 critics, indicating mixed or average reviews. Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of ‘C’ on an A+ to F scale, and PostTrak reported it received an average 2 out of 5 stars, with 35% of people saying they would definitely recommend it.

John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter noted that the film is a creature feature with gory jump-scares and icktastic critter design. He mentioned that the ensemble, led by Kristen Stewart, brings credible camaraderie to the scenario without quite matching the vivid chemistry of ‘Alien’ and its best descendants. Owen Gleiberman of Variety described ‘Underwater’ as a stupefying entertainment where every claustrophobic space and apocalyptic crash of water registers as a slick visual trigger, yet it’s all built on top of a dramatic void. Gleiberman concluded that it’s boredom in Sensurround.”
