Plot Summary

A group of deep-sea miners discover a sunken Russian submarine containing a genetics lab, which apparently had created a monster. It slips onto their own ship and they must try to destroy it as it picks them off, one by one. Often described as "'Alien' in the ocean," it captures much of the suspense of the space thriller.

Top Critics' Reviews

Rotten: The latter half of the film is one long feeding frenzy, guided by a familiar horror-film principle: survival of the best-looking. – Janet Maslin, New York Times, Jul 16, 2008

Rotten: Leviathan is intermittently interesting, but it's a bad sign that the movie starts losing its punch when the monster shows up. – Richard Harrington, Washington Post, Jun 17, 2008

Not TOO terrible...

Okay, so it's a rip-off of "The Abyss" and "Aliens" at the same time. Which is fine, since all James Cameron does is rip-off other peoples' work anyway. But as mediocre as it is, it's still enjoyable for the true Horror fan. There's some cool FX and some bad FX. There's some good acting from Peter Weller, Richard Crenna, Ernie Hudson and Daniel Stern, and George Cosmatos ("Tombstone" and "Rambo: First Blood 2") is a talented, legit director. But this just didn't have the budget, marketing or star power it needed to compete with the big films. Still, as far as cheesy old monster movies go, this one is fun and enjoyable.

Do Not Buy Or Rent

One word, horrible, i almost fell asleep during the first 45 min of the film, if you want a good sci-fi horror flick, watch sphere, or event horizon, the only thing this peice of junk is good for is watching marv from home alone die.

Liked it. Didn't love it.

It's like the thing(80's version) meets aliens, meets the abyss. Only it's not as good as any of those..... It's still a cool flick, but there's just nothing amazing or too original here. The characters are very stereotypical for sci-fi in the 80's, as is the story-line. Still ...I did enjoy it.
