What stands out are the practical effects used to depict the underwater sequences, which lend a tangible quality to the film's exploration of the wreck. It balances the allure of treasure hunting with themes of greed and the perils that come with it. There's an atmospheric quality that lingers long after the credits roll, making you ponder the ocean's hidden secrets.
