only saw this movie once, so maybe I missed something - and I am aware it is PART 1 and will explain later...
but, speculate: what purpose would the AI have, in this story, to bury itself on the ocean floor?
I'm watching this again, maybe it will show itself to me. or maybe it is not revealed in this part 1
The AI can only be beaten by someone who has access to its original code
The original code version of the AI was loaded onto the Sevastopol's computer
The AI sunk the Sevastapol to prevent that original code version from falling into the hands of its enemies, Luther Stickell in particular
That means the next film has to focus on finding and diving down to the submarine
Now that they’ve abandoned the title Dead Reckoning Part II due to this film’s poor performance, will they also abandon the plot, or portions of it?
shareWhy should they? The AI works as modern Blofeld mastermind, so I totally see it being the future MacGuffin for the franchise. It is just like in the 70s James Bonds, that it is always acting in the background and the team is hunting it. Making it a second part was always a stupid idea, if you have no super hit like Avengers or Lord of the Rings, you will most likely use people with direct sequels.
