Submersos é uma história de amor que nos leva até aos mundos diametralmente opostos dos seus dois protagonistas, Danielle Flinders (Alicia Vikander) e James More (James McAvoy). Eles encontram-se, por mero acaso, num hotel remoto na Normandia onde ambos se preparam para perigosas missões. Apaixonam-se, contra a sua própria vontade, mas rapidamente reconhecem no outro o amor da sua vida. Quando têm de se separar, descobrimos que James trabalha para os Serviços Secretos Britânicos. Ele está envolvido numa missão na Somália que visa encontrar a localização primordial dos bombistas suicidas que se infiltram na Europa. Danielle Flinders é matemática e bióloga, e trabalha num equipamento para mergulho em mar profundo, a fim de corroborar a sua tese sobre a origem da vida no nosso planeta. Rapidamente, ficam a mundos de distância… James é feito refém por combatentes Jihadistas, ficando sem forma de contactar Danielle, e esta terá de mergulhar até ao fundo do oceano no seu submergível sem saber se James está ou não vivo… (Cinemundo)

Finding out that it's based on a book suddenly makes it a worse movie in my eyes, because the little details here that felt so civil, endearing, that shaped that look of a closed moment were probably just fragments of larger elements from the source material. The romance itself isn't silly, and at times manages to evoke memories of the agony of distant love and loneliness, but it still suffers from snobbery (the central couple meet and spend their days together in a luxurious European five-star hotel, so their days are framed by sumptuous lunches and the glare of the fireplace fire reflecting off their perfect bodies), and the contrasting cuts between the very different situations they both find themselves in after they part ways don't sit well either. You really have to go to great lengths to get any kind of experience here.

This is what absolute creative ineptitude looks like. This supposedly deep melodrama of a spy with a professor of bio-mathematics only has merit when the cameraman drives over panoramas of the UK coast. James McAvoy gets duller the older he gets, and surprisingly Alicia Vikander doesn't look extremely committed either. However, I would see the flaw there more in the way the characters are written. The whole time, they try to fit into our heads the fateful story of two different people who experience an intense romance in a magical place (which is fine) and, rather awkwardly, we then get to see the separation phase. So, for about half of the film we don’t really get to know the what, where, how, why of McAvoy's character, while Vikander's character acts like a pissed-off teenager for a while and then two minutes later she's wondering about the creation of the world. If they changed the director, didn't push the envelope so much and spared the sophisticated blathering, it would be about two classes better, because the acting potential is quite good and visually it's decently done.

I was tempted by the big names as the director and protagonists, and I am amazed how this quite compelling premise of a quality spectacle hardly worked at all. The romantic storyline between Alicia Vikander and James McAvoy is quite captivating, but only when they are together. Once they physically split up, everything kind of goes downhill. An attempt at a deeper message permeates the film, but figuratively speaking, it doesn't get to the bottom of it. What's more, it doesn’t even come close. In the end, there is only one thing to do - to admire the beautiful locations where the filming took place. (45%)
