‘Deep’ is a movie that never steps out of its comfort zone, relying instead on tropes that have been done better before. The other characters are fine but, much like the predictable plot, are quite bland. While this adds an interesting layer to his character, unfortunately the realisation he eventually has about the error of his ways comes too late to undo the damage done (and even then, there is so little humility to him that this change of heart seems unlikely to be permanent). He’s arrogant, dismissive and ignores everyone around him, believing he knows best. ‘Deep’ misses a trick in that the plot barely has any relevance to the potentially interesting (and on topic) apocalypse up above.Īs a character, Deep isn’t the typical ‘let’s share’ protagonist. It is therefore confusing that considering Deep is set exclusively underwater said background story of pollution is in the air and on land, and thus unseen – present only as an excuse for the humans to be gone. Teaching kids that we should tread lightly to minimise our footprint on the planet is by no means a bad thing and so much emphasis on the increasing amount of manmade material in the oceans brings about a focus on such stories being based beneath the waves. Looking at the consequences of the impact that humans have on Earth has become a stalwart of childrens’ stories of late.
