Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

mrfredhickson Everything you can do WRONG they did..... repeatedly. And guess which character dies in the end............................ YOU GUESSED IT!!!

Benedito Dias Rodrigues Leviathan is Italian-American co-production the sets is wonderful and the cast is quite good with Peter Weller,Richard Crenna,Daniel Stern,Ernie Hudson and the gorgeous Amanda Pays,the story isn't original but looks good but the type of monsters is awful....every movie is that way could be more creative and didn't make like this in minutes the monster grew up is hard to believe.....waste a picture well produced and throw by scream all work well done!!!Sci-Fi needs news brains to make better movies,let's look ahead!!!

cokezero99 Having read the title, just take a moment to imagine what kind of film this would entail. I'm sure you can do that easily enough if you're a fan of such films. Now set this film in some underwater labs.Basically: a team of scientists/drillers (like the crew from Alien and the scientists from The Thing) are in some underwater labs (a setting like in The Abyss or The Sphere) and then they discover a sunken Soviet ship (like the Norwegian base in The Thing) with a secret which thrusts them into danger (again like in The Thing).Now you may think that because I'm making these comparisons that I think this film is a terrible rip-off of all these films. Maybe. After all The Thing and Alien came out well before this film. BUT! I'm not complaining.Leviathan has a strong cast of characters, brilliant effect on par with The Thing (thanks to Stan Winston again) and an engaging story line.It has some flaws (I cannot say what due to spoilers) which are irritating enough that you will be sure to rank this film below Alien, The Abyss, The Thing. But if you enjoyed those films you will find some enjoyment in this film, I promise!

buckikris I liked this movie even though it got a lot of ideas from the movies Alien and The Thing. This movie is about underwater miners mining silver; and discover that a lethal life form gets aboard their ship.When " Sixpack"(Daniel Stern) and "Elizabeth"( Amanda Pays) get caught pulling pranks on the ship; "Beck"(Peter Weller) assigns them to work duty the next day. The next day the two are venturing out on the ocean floor, ready for work. When Sixpack and Liz discover a Russian Ship(Leviathan) they explore it. Sixpack finds this box and they both take it back to see what's inside. The crew is stunned and find a videotape of the Captains Log. On the video the Russian Capt.(Eugene Lipnski) is explaining that his crew is dying off, due to some deadly virus. When Beck and his crew finish watching the tape they are stunned,they believe the Leviathan was deliberately sunk. They think the remaining crew sunk it to save the rest of the crew; and possibly to keep their virus secret. When Sixpack hides a flask of vodka in his pants he as well as the rest of the crew are doomed.Sixpack and Liz drink from the flask and the next day Sixpack realizes he has caught some type of virus. He goes to see "DOC"(Richard Crenna). The virus starts to get so out of control it ends up killing Sixpack in 8 hours. The crew panics and when Liz finds out what happened to Sixpack and how it transforms him she kills herself. The virus lives in it's host for awhile then it kills them, consumes their intelligence; and starts to form into some type of monster. It knocks a majority of the crew, and after each kill become more intelligent.When Beck contacts "Ms Martin"( Meg Foster) she gives him some crap story for not rescuing them right away. She explains that a hurricane is coming and their trip to the surface is delayed. so for the next two days the remaining crew will have to fight for their lives against this life form in order to survive. In the end 3 members to escape, but two only make it all the way back. The ending is priceless, and somewhat the AHHHHH moment of the movie.Even though this movie is not an original I still like it. The story a simple one about big corporations that value profit over human life. Those that have worked for big companies in the past know what I am talking about. This movie has some known names in it and some I never heard of, still good acting from all. So if you like Alien or The Thing you should like this movie. It is one of the better Sci-fi/horror films from the 80's so give it a watch.
