I felt similar.
The visuals were fantastic however the story seemed to be very close to “The Abyss”.

I’ll be frank: The story was like a LOT of stories. Heck, Star Wars was a western in space. So was Star Trek TOS. And look at all the chick films. I can sum them up as follows (and feel free to exchange the words “boy” and “girl”): Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back.

All stories have similarities to other stories. It is how art works. Artists build new bits of creativity from the creativity of those that went before them. After a decade or century, you may have something barely attached to the original creative root.

I expect story similarites, but good stories have their own unique twist on the “expected”. Avatar did that several times.
