Granted Leviathan lacks originally, it's pretty much Alien-under-the-sea mashed with The Thing, but strangely enough it manages to stay, somewhat, fresh. Admittedly it's not as good as either of the films it borrows ideas from but it still offers decent scares and the body horror is unsettling enough to actually make the film horrific.

LERLER MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS! Omg gurlll the movie was sooo splended

One of several similar films released at about the same time -- _The Abyss_, _Deep Star Six_, _Lords of the Deep_, and so on -- this is actually a fairly tense and effective, if predictable, variation on _The Thing_. The capable cast and direction help make up for its rather muddled storyline.

A bit like a deep sea version of 'The Thing' but not quite as good.

Solid cast and creepy monster. I like the essence of the film more than I like the film. Underwater Robocop sounds pretty badass though, doesn't it?

enjoyable

A deep sea mining crew discovers a sunken Russian ship and pick up some kind of infection while exploring it. The victims morph together and undergo genetic mutation into a gooey, slavering aquamonster that the remaining crew have to fight to survive. Peter Weller and Ernie Hudson are both pretty decent despite how ludicrous the story is. It's entertaining and the excellent creature effects are worth checking out.

good CGI for its year however there`s total lack of originality, its no more than a bad copy of Alien (shot underwater instead of space)... dose of overreacting is sad...

The blurb below says it all... Alien or the thing without EITHER film's charm.

This is what happens when you have a large special effects budget but no story to use it on. You rip off Alien in the most uninspired way possible. The only redeeming part is the absurdly paced over-done ending

Dumb _Alien_ ripoff. Star cast should be embarrassed

An underwater variation on _Alien_, lacking originality and suspense.

Kinda goofy, not scary, and only vaguely interesting. And should be charged with plagiarism of the films mentioned in the plot summary.

This has some hilariously inept dialogue and overacting, but ultimately comes off as an Alien/Thing hybrid without the scares or cohesive plot or purpose. Almost worth seeing for the sheer facepalmery of the ending, which is one of the stupidest and most incompetently conceived/performed "false endings" I've ever seen.
