UNDERWATER
Watchable. Starts with Kristen Stewart sporting a crew cut, she's working on a deep-water drilling platform. Looks like both former vampires have taken a similar career path - Robert Pattinson in the outer space. Anyway, the whole film is an "Alien" wash-off - literally, because the monsters - a cross between the Geiger's alien and an octopus - are in the ocean, half-way down the Mariana Trench. The plot is rubbish, with the first explosion a few minutes in, but with good music. The lines are tacky, the level as low as the trench. About the only one I fancied was when you hear an advertisement: "We've got big things in store to come" and see a huge monster out the porthole. As for the horror part, there's one bigger and one smaller jump scare and the ending threatens you with a possible sequel.
RACETIME
Watchable. In Poland, it's all dubbed in Polish, including songs, so you won't hear Lara Fabian, Cool Kids, Joshua Moreno, Simple Plan, Cyndi Lauper etc. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the rhythms. The storyline is simple and clear, far from the craziness the trailer implies. Joyful, light entertainment.
