Suits that can withstand the depths of the Mariana Trench?

The glass in their helmets was resilient enough to withstand over 15,000 psi, but would be pliable enough to be cracked open with a blunt object when needed? How much suspension of belief do you need to have even for the year 2050. Even the structures are too far-fetched.

Did I miss something regarding the crew? It was mentioned at the beginning that over 300 people were at this facility. The captain said he sent up a little over 20 people in pods. What happened to everyone else. It's never mentioned.

What happened to Rodrigo is what should've happened to them all. Immediate implosion. And he's the lucky one. He didn't have to put up with all of the corny-ass editing and/or directing in this movie. The concept was interesting, but at least make your story plausible. The underwater cinematography seemed like it was done by 7th graders, and the characters were about as boring as they come. Having Kristen Stewart in you movie doesn't help your cause at all.

Waste of time.

I was about to come here and post this about the pressure issue. Ridiculous.

The Abyss did it better for sure :D

Yes. The Abyss offered an actual explanation of dealing with the pressure issue.

I would not expect that from a Kristin Stewart flick.

You do realise that the helmets are made to take that pressure when it’s entirely pressed on it. So bashing it in one spot and it breaking isn’t that unbelievable. That’s why those suits are so dangerous because if there is a scratch or dent that gets the pressure applied more to that spot you well get what happens to the guy early on.

The 20 crew being sent up I’m guessing got attacked by those creatures maybe? Though yeah is a bit of a loose end. I suppose the pod they found was meant to hint at the others didn’t make it either.

Rodrigo saw the crack but still outback his helmet on knowing what would happen
Re the crew I think a lot died when compartments flooded and were sealed and the ones who escaped in the pods must have been swamped by the creatures (spoilers) as in the scene on the sonar screens near the end when the 2 remaining pods are launched and all the creature swim after them
