I have to write a review. At this point there are more than 360 other reviews about this flick but I have to write a review.
I am a fan of James Cameron. Though I admit I really dislike Avatar and don't get me started on there being 5 by the 2020s! But his other movies are great. Titanic, Terminator 1 & 2 and True Lies are all great! So after more than 27 years I finally saw this movie. I was 9 when it originally came out and I think I saw it on video. Maybe. Whatever. Likely fell asleep.
So my review goes like this. IT WAS TOO LONG! Like it was like holding my breath under water long. You know when you're a kid in the pool with your school yard chum kind of contest holding your breath. Every second or two feels like an eternity. The story also felt very weak. Like I get they're on a rescue mission but they never really accomplished much except to get a nuke, one nuke out of many on the sub. Then a storm comes, there is always a storm. Then some space jellyfish come and interrupt the storey. Then more holding breath happens. So much so and then finally we see them and their ship. And their ship looked like a certain piece of the female anatomy!?! Like huh? And then the character Bud goes into the ship and watches low resolution television with some space jellyfish. And blah blah whatever!
The Abyss was a mess. I will never watch this movie again unless I am recruited by the CIA and trained to interrogate "bad guys". I will have them watch this abysmal movie a few times and guaranteed my friend they will crack.
