The Abyss 1989

This is for the 1993 Special Edition that clocks in at almost 3hours!

This is also the movie that made the T-1000 from Terminator 2 possible!

I would have to say being that this is the first time I have ever seen this I would have
to say it was quite the film it was truly vintage James Cameron.
It was exciting, suspenseful and had a seance of wonder and discovery. Now being this
was the first time I had watched this it made me kind of think of Michael Bay's
Armageddon, but underwater! Now that is what I thought anyway.
but the movie is fantastic The title fade animation for the logo was pretty cool
The stuff with the sub at the beginning of the movie was pretty cool
I personally think all the underwater action was amazing. The production design
was impressive yet familiar The suits and equipment had a good look I would say
that this was in a near future but not to far where everything still look like things
in the modern day. The effects were impressive (for the time) The look of the
alien beings was pretty good so was the look of there technology, the big ship Lindsey
see in very manta like but the little one that is buzzing around look like of like a
penis! which made me laugh.
While I was watching and the whole crane breaking sequence I was wondering
when the thing started falling into the abyss you would think they would have some
type of control in big rig they were living in to be able to detach the cable in case an
emergency, I guess that Lindsey one didn't think it was a good idea to ad that
feature when she was designing the thing.
Also much like Avatars environmental message This also carries one as well
a message against war and the atrocities we perpetrate on each other as a people
which I can always get behind. Think of what we as a race could achieve if we actually
worked together! but no we are to busy being engaged in petty squabbles and
trying to destroy each other rather then working towards a greater good for all man kind.
Anyway this was a truly amazing enjoyable film and after watching it I wonder why I didn't
see it sooner.
