Under the sea.......2007-04-15

This movie makes for some bizarre early morning viewing.Dean Cain stars as a marshal investigating minsers' suicides in the Marianas Trench,mourning his wife's death,and battling baddies with the help of nuclear explosives.He gets to mumble a lot,get angry,and beat up on his psychiatrist who has been giving evil drugs to miners.

One wonders if the Marianas Trench were an undersea USSR,since most everyone has an Eastern European accent.Still,the movie is very unclear.Is it set underwater or underground? What is really going on? Where's the plot? In the depths of the sea,the plot has gone missing.

Don't make the descent.......2005-06-13

Dean Cain stars as the marshall of an underwater mining facility. He arrests some maniac Russian who later gets out of prison and comes back to get Cain. There's another plot about people on the facility committing suicide but none of it really matters. If the plot sounds thin to base an entire movie on, you're right. There was no reason for this movie to be made, it's basically an ultra low budget rip off of Outland. Since it will cost the you the same at your video store, rent Outland.

PLUNGE INTO OBLIVION.......2004-08-14

DARK DESCENT is about as exciting as watching someone make banana pudding. Filmed in Czechloslovakia, most of the actors and crew's names end in "v". Which wouldn't be so bad if they could at least ACT. Dean Cain, he of Superman fame, bullies his way through the mess, chewing his gum, and wincing after he gets shot in the leg. Scott Wiper who plays his jealous comrade mercifully disappears once he quits, but the movie never says what happens to him. The movie starts off with Cain and Wiper (sounds like a law firm, don't it?) facing some really nasty guys who are obviously attacking the women in this undersea mining plant. Nothing is ever explained as to why they are doing this, but Cain kills them all but one, a nasty guy who plans revenge. Meanwhile, many of the crew members are committing suicide, and Cain is investigating. (Excited yet?). Of course, it all culminates in a kind of underwater HIGH NOON when the bad guy who promised to come back, does so with two other goons, and chase Cain around the plant for a while. There is nothing exciting about any of this, as the direction is wooden and the acting abysmal.
Try THE ABYSS or GHOST SHIP or any other undersea film, and you'll do much better than this waste of celluloid.

SciFi in the Deep.......2003-11-25

I like Dean Cain and enjoyed this sci-fi movie. Great movie to rent or collect if you're a Cain fan.

Outland on the cheap.......2003-09-24

I attempted to watch DARK DESCENT but failed. I saw enough to recognize that this seemed to be a remake of OUTLAND which in turn was a Sci-Fi translation of HIGH NOON. Both OUTLAND and HIGH NOON are classics with great casts and well crafted scripts, but DARK DESCENT is a remake of these classics only in the sense that Frankenstein's Monster is a recreation of humanity. Some of the parts are there, but you don't want to take them home. There is a lot of dialogue, none memorable, and little action. The plot pacing favors insomniacs. Many of the actors are unknown even in their own native countries, whatever they may be. Let's not forget the special features, which consist of a menu that offers a single "choice": "play movie", thus demonstrating that the menu's only useful function is to demonstrate that it has no useful function. I gave the movie one star because it is better than daytime television, but my advise is get OUTLAND and watch the best Space Western ever made.
