Saw it this afternoon, I thought it was pretty good and really enjoyed it being stealth Lovecraftian horror. I kind of feel like they could have done more with the premise and it might have been held back by its rating, but the environment and setting more than made up for it. All the scenes of climbing through the stations or walking across the ocean floor made me feel the same oppressive claustrophobia I haven’t felt since I first saw The Descent.

Also goddamn, TJ Miller is annoying.

I think ascending too quickly would make your blood boil, not your suit implode/explode.

Yes, but there was also a warning from the suit saying that pressure was increasing too quickly and its integrity was dropping fast.

Real astronauts and even pilots are professionals that are trained to not overreact and keep their cool under any kind of pressure.

You can receive all the training in the world, sometimes it doesn’t matter. I’ve worked with plenty of people in healthcare who can’t keep a level head during high-stress, life-threatening scenarios. The ability to stay calm under that kind of pressure comes from experience. If anything, I think reactions like the intern research assistant’s are that much more realistic and a great portrayal of how normal people actually react in those circumstances.

Is that in theatres, or on a streaming platform or anything?

It got a limited theater release, looks like it’ll be available digitally next month
