Title: Misguided premise deepsixes DeepStar
Review: DeepStar Six would have been better served had it simply tried to go the way of an Irwin Allen style disaster flick instead of the monster movie route, ala 'Alien' and 'The Thing'. Alas, stupidity has a way of getting what it wants and it wanted DeepStar Six to be a monster movie. So instead of an average undersea adventure story we get a two-dimensional bunch of Navy divers battling a ridiculous-looking sea monster (which isn't even mentioned, let alone seen, until about an hour into the movie!). Too bad, because the acting isn't bad nor are the production values. It's just that everything could have been salvaged as a tale of deepsea divers trying to survive structrual damage to their habitat. Instead, the misguided monster movie premise deepsixes DeepStar.
