Listen, if you're looking for Academy-Award consideration, go away! The deal with this film is this: it's entertaining, and fun, and the cast is fun to watch. If you're awake at 2am, and you've got nothing else happening, it's mindless entertainment and fun to watch. If anyone tries to go any deeper than that, you're an idiot. View this movie for what it is... mindless entertainment, and enjoy! Some films are made for a small budget, but the message and the story is clear... this one is a can't miss... Dean Cain "Out of Time" is always great to watch, and Hristo Shopov is as solid as he was in "Passion of the Christ." Enjoy!!

Here's some advice for aspiring filmmakers: the total lack of a budget does not doom you to not making movies, but it does prevent you from making movies that demand good production values. Case in point is Descent, set in an underwater mining colony. Unfortunately, the real set is a bunch of Star Trek inspired sci-fi hallways. The story (what story there is) could have taken place at your public school. Another note to filmmakers: if your story sucks, the set's got to look good! Bottom line: avoid this sorry excuse for sci-fi and rent The Abyss instead.

I thought Dark Descent was going to be a sea monster movie but it turned out to be an underwater high noon. I say this because the story was nearly identical and and lot of the lines were aswell. Dean Cain was good as usual and the movie was ok. If I wanted to see High Noon again I would have rented it!

In a deep sea mining complex, a Federal Marshal (Dean Cain) tries to find out why miners are committing suicide ast such an alarming rate. Needless to say, there are corporate maneuvers being played as the company that owns the facility dispatches a team of hit men to kill him.This is by far the worst offering that UFO(the production company) has released and it is nearly a blatant rip-off of HIGH NOON and even for that matter the far superior OUTLAND (High Noon in space).Warning...if you see this on the shelf, pass it by and pick up either of the two aforementioned films...that will be a rental fee well spent!
