* ClothingDamage: Whatever explosion trapped Paul under the rubble, it also destroyed his clothes to shreds.

to:

* ClothingDamage: Whatever explosion trapped Paul under the rubble, it also destroyed his clothes to shreds. At one point this is PlayedForLaughs, when Paul has to undress to get into his suit and he's dismayed that the exposion also damaged his underwear.


Added DiffLines:

* EvilInc: Tian Industries wants to continue digging into the Mariana Trench even after the accident that resulted in the deaths of the entire crew in the base except for Smith and Emily, and it's heavily implied that they have more sinister motivations for it than just pure greed.

* FaceFullOfAlienWingWong: Simon and Paul go outside to investigate a beacon from one of the evac pods that never made it to the surface. They find the pod ripped open and a corpse whose back is pulsating strangely, until something rips out and lunges at Paul. Instead of his helmet being torn open by an evil acid-secreting facehugger, we cut to Paul dumping the baby monster's corpse on the table in front of the others, [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass having killed it.]] It does however show a disturbing take on how the Lovecraftian FishPeople 'breed' with humans.

Added DiffLines:

* AutobotsRockOut: Played for laughs when Paul cranks up the stereo and shouts, "Let's do this!" as they're about to put on their diving suits [[ItsTheOnlyWay to carry out their insane survival plan]]. Instead of a LockAndLoadMontage, everyone else just stares at Paul [[FailedAttemptAtDrama until he looks embarrassed and turns the music down]].


Added DiffLines:

* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: Lucien dismisses the idea of making use of the derelict Shepard Station, but Norah is able to salvage a FlareGun and diving suit (albeit with a faulty oxygen rebreather) from there.


Added DiffLines:

* HellIsThatNoise: InUniverse when someone plays the DeathByTransceiver of a worker at the drill site just before the disaster. After hearing it, Smith and Paul make a point of grabbing tools that can be used as weapons.

Added DiffLines:

* SeriousBusiness: In the final credits we see someone has taken evidence photos of the plush bunny.


Added DiffLines:

* ShootOutTheLock: Justified; when Norah doesn't know the access code to open a hatch, one of the tool guns is used to break the lock on the control box so she can hotwire the hatch open.

* MoodWhiplash: The movie starts with Norah by herself in the bathroom, with the only sign of the impending disaster is that the lights keep turning on and off. Then she notices water dripping from the ceiling--and suddenly the walls are bursting around her and she runs down the corridors in a desperate attempt to get behind the bulkhead while screaming at everyone to wake up and do the same.



* MsFanservice: Relatively downplayed, but Creator/KristenStewart does spend substantial stretches of the film running around in a prominent midriff-baring outfit.
