This is such a blatant ripoff it is almost laughable. But instead of a 747 and an all-star cast, we get a poorly done space shuttle and really bad actors, screenwriters, etc... The space shuttle (or any other aircraft, for that matter) would not survive a dunk so deep that a DSRV would be needed. It would crush like a Coors can before 300 ft. Any shallower than that, and the astronauts could just don space suits and swim to the surface. This was a really stupid idea for a movie plot (especially since it had been done before, and a lot better...)If this flick ever makes it to TV, the best part of it will be the commercials.

(1) The female love interest {actually quite pretty} has a secret on-board hairdresser who attends to her curls every time she takes off her space helmet. (2) That highly trained professional astronaut commanders would panic and take off their {1960's vintage} restraint harness during a crash sequence, is a laugh and a half. (3) Passwords on the computers??? WHY? (4) An airplane will float if water doesn't get in. Water didn't get in and the shuttle is an airplane. (5) I did like the set a bit. It was a bit better than the "Conquest of Space" (6) Acting not that bad, they did their best with a bad lot. (7) It takes a hell of a long time to put on a space-suit(with help). (8) A spacesuit filled with air at several atmospheres would explode at the depth portrayed as it ascended. They would have to have let air escape at a controlled rate. (9) that's enough *sigh*.

One of the worst movies I have seen this year and I have seen many. Riddled with technical errors, a space shuttle ditches beneath the surface of the ocean and the crew must somehow survive and get out.Shuttle has a submarine depth gage! Do submarines have airplane altimeters? Interior doors all lock one way only. I guess the shuttles are designed this way so crew can lock themselves in for some "private time" from sexual encounters like hiding the salami to just a good old session of pouting and crying.Love triangle ensues aboard the shuttle. God help us. Too much time spent on social relations in the abyss instead of survival. Can't they find enough astronauts on the program that just wanna fly the mission and leave their love interests on earth? Heroin goes up with long bangs dangling by face, probably got caught in the shuttle's transmission. No wonder they ditch.This movie was so bad I had to watch the whole thing to see how retarded it could get with this cast of basic nobodies. Take a peek but remember you'll never get that time back in your life. Time not well wasted.

Let me just say, I only saw the last 45 minutes of this, but I freaking loved it. A great idea, because let's face it, a space ship underwater is cool. Also great acting. I smell sequel. I was kicking myself for not tuning in sooner and therefore seeing the whole movie. Plus I was in China when I saw it so I didn't even know what channel I was watching. But like I said, this movie was great. I was about to go to bed, but just five minutes hooked me and I watched till the end. A great time. I would recommend this movie to any of my friends, as it is definitely one that can be watched more than once. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when I find this movie for purchase, I will in fact do so, and then not only watch it from the beginning but invite my friends to do so as well.
