First Of all, the acting here is abysmal. I've seen high schoolers in drama class who would be better than these actors.
Secondly, the writer and director did absolutely ZERO research on the First Nations culture and traditions here in BC where the movie is set. Most Of the First Nations characters are acted by white people, and the depictions of religion and tradition bear ZERO resemblance to the actual people who live in these communities. Cultural appropriation at its worst. Or is it even appropriation since they bungled it so badly? I don' teven know where to start.
The concept for this movie is half-decent, and it's a real shame that a better job wasn't done.

3.2Plot summary
Set in the near future, Hell, or Tidewater is a thrill a minute underwater submarine action/sci-fi film told through the eyes of Lt. Cmdr. Allan Parker, a 40 something Sea Dog with a chip on his shoulder. The action surrounds the controversial Canadian energy industry and their longing to bring a pipeline to Tidewater. In Hell, or Tidewater this long-time dream has come true but there's a twist; once the oil makes it the shores of BC it is not being transported by traditional Tanker but by giant submarines called S.U.L.C.C.s or Submersible Ultra Large Crude Carriers. Things start to get interesting when a camera crew shows up to film an episode of Humongous Boats (a fictional version of the popular show Mighty Ships) and encounter more than just the run of the mill giant ship overview they were hoping to film. Turns out the Russians view the Canadian enterprise as a threat to their energy hegemony in the east and they dispatch their submarine fleet to reign the Canadians in. Not only that but they have infected the mostly automated S.U.L.C.C.s Artificial Intelligence robots with a virus called "Subroutine Menshevik", making them malfunction and go completely rogue.

Interesting twists and turns with lots of themes to catch and enjoy. The music is ideal . My Dad and I watched it together and he said he was immersed in the film and he hopes there will be a sequel . I love the character personalities. Actors played their roles well !

Shill reviewers
Hey film fans! I'm always suspicious when I go to look at film reviews, and despite an average 3.9 rating, low and behold there are a few 10-star reviews. Lets look at their names shall we? Ah yes - one has that common pattern of shill reviewers - a random name, hyphen, then bunch of numbers. Click on any of the 10-star review names, and you find that they have only reviewed this one film! With 10 stars! And created their account seemingly just to review it! Wow, what are the chances, eh? That someone would go through all that effort to review a 4-star obscure, rubbish film with no known talent? Well, perhaps its because they were paid, or crew, or friends of crew. What does this mean? That they have absolutely no regard for how you spend your time, and would rather you were mislead into thinking this piece of garbage was good to suit their own ends. Is that something you want to be a part of?
