I give it a 3 because the effects of the monster-mutant thing creature(s) are pretty convincingly done.
But this movie is pure B-movie schlock, just with a studio budget. It's a jumble of bits of other, better movies; and is about as generic and predictable as it gets. You feel no tension at all; firstly because it takes half the movie for anything to happen, and secondly you know what's going to happen and who's going to bite it well before the tentacle monster gets them.
It really is just "Alien" meets "The Thing" under the sea. Heck, the crew are even mining minerals. All it needed was a nuclear self-destruct.
I'd compare it to "Life"... which is practically the exact same movie, now in space, with an even bigger budget.
